For many factories and wastewater treatment plants, sludge disposal costs account for a large part of their operating expenses. Transporting and handling wet sludge is not only costly, but also creates environmental challenges.

So the question is:
“How can I reduce sludge disposal costs without sacrificing treatment efficiency?”

One of the most effective answers is a high-pressure chamber filter press.

Why Is Sludge Disposal So Expensive?

Sludge is mostly water. In many cases, it contains 70–80% moisture even after primary treatment.

This means companies are paying to transport water instead of solids. The heavier the sludge, the higher the disposal cost.

By removing more water before disposal, you can save significant money on transportation, handling, and landfill fees.

How a High Pressure Filter Press Helps

Unlike ordinary filter presses, a high-pressure chamber filter press can operate at up to 2.0 MPa working pressure.

This results in:

• Drier Filter Cakes → Moisture content reduced significantly, cutting transport weight.

• Cleaner Filtrate → Less contamination, easier recycling of water.

• Lower Energy Use → High output with lower operating costs.

For example, the XMYZD1250-UB and XMYD1000-UB models are designed to increase solid content by up to 10% compared to standard presses.

Real Benefits for Your Business

1. Lower Transportation Costs

Drier cakes mean fewer truckloads and lower disposal fees.

2. Environmental Compliance

Better water separation reduces risks of leachate and contamination.

3. Operational Efficiency

PLC-controlled automation reduces manpower, saving labor costs.

4. Long-Term Reliability

Imported PE polymer filter plates resist corrosion and wear, extending machine lifespan.

Which Model Should You Choose?

• XMYZD1500-UB → Best for large-scale industries like mining or municipal wastewater treatment.

• XMYZD1250-UB → Ideal for medium to large plants requiring balance of efficiency and footprint.

• XMYD1000-UB / XMYZD820-UB → Compact models for small to medium facilities with limited space.

No matter the size of your plant, there’s a filter press designed to optimize your sludge handling process.

Conclusion

Sludge disposal doesn’t have to be the most expensive part of your wastewater treatment process. By using a high-pressure chamber filter press, you can:

• Reduce disposal costs,

• Improve efficiency, and

• Ensure compliance with environmental standards.

If sludge management is a growing burden for your business, now is the time to upgrade your equipment and see immediate cost savings.
