The sludge from paint booth treatment systems falls into the waste category that requires disposal. However, during the waste disposal procedure, paint sludges are typically disposed of regardless of the water content they contain. Therefore, reducing the water content in the paint sludge extracted from the system directly impacts waste disposal costs. For this reason, Evakim has designed a dewatering unit to be integrated into scraper systems.
The paint sludge dewatering system, which can be integrated into scraper systems, ensures that the paint sludge, containing a high amount of water, comes into contact with a filter cloth with good water permeability. This allows the sludge to be dewatered by feeding the filter cloth with a rate of 1 cm per hour along the equipment. Gravity causes the cured paint sludge, which spends hours on the filter cloth, to lose its water content until it reaches the waste bin. The filtered water from the filter cloth is collected in the equipment’s reservoir and returned to the purification system.
