Vacuum Belt Filter Manufacturer | SVP 2200
Compositech is a leading vacuum belt filter manufacturer, offering solutions that incorporate characteristics of both a horizontal belt filter and a belt press filter. Our cane sugar vacuum belt filter is highly efficient and provides a low-maintenance solution designed for cane sugar mud filtration and primarily for reclaiming sugar in the processing of cane mud.
Vacuum Belt Filter - SVP 2200
Compositech’s SVP 2200 cane sugar vacuum belt filter was designed and manufactured to wash soluble substances from cane mud reducing sugar content. The functions of Compositech’s vacuum belt filter are to recover residual sugar in the mud and to remove mud solids from the juice. The continual cane sugar mud filtration process incorporates constant filter cloth washing to provide a clean cloth belt each cycle. Depending on the application, mud washing can be enhanced with the use of hot water imbibition bars on the filter. Compositech’s SVP 2200 is capable of the following performance:
- Mud Cake Production (Dry Cake) Up to 240 tons per day
- Discharge Moisture of Cake 65%
- Residual POL in Cake 1.2-2%
- Production-based upon 30 Kg Cake/TC Up to 8,000 TCD
Our filters have been placed into production resulting in improved cake production numbers for the following sugar processing customers:
- Rio Grande Sugar Growers
- Sterling Sugar
- Raceland Raw Sugar
As a trusted vacuum belt filter manufacturer, Compositech continues to advance cane sugar mud filtration technology, delivering reliable performance, reduced downtime, and improved sugar recovery for mills across North America.
Frequently Asked Questions About Vacuum Belt Filters
What is a vacuum belt filter?
A vacuum belt filter is an industrial filtration machine that uses vacuum pressure and a continuously moving porous belt to separate solids from liquids. In cane sugar processing, a vacuum belt filter is used to extract residual sugar from cane mud, reduce cake moisture, and improve overall sugar recovery and mill efficiency.
What is the SVP 2200?
The SVP 2200 is Compositech's purpose-built cane sugar vacuum belt filter. Engineered specifically for cane sugar mud filtration, the SVP 2200 recovers residual POL (sugar) from mud, removes solids from juice, and continuously washes the filter cloth each cycle. The system is capable of processing up to 8,000 TCD with a discharge cake moisture of 65% and residual POL in cake of 1.2–2%.
What sugar mills currently use Compositech's vacuum belt filters?
Compositech's vacuum belt filters are in active production at several leading U.S. cane sugar operations, including Rio Grande Sugar Growers, Sterling Sugar, and Raceland Raw Sugar. Each installation has resulted in improved cake production numbers and measurable gains in sugar recovery.
How does cane sugar mud filtration work with the SVP 2200?
During cane sugar mud filtration, cane mud containing residual sugar (POL) is fed onto the SVP 2200's moving filter belt. Vacuum pressure draws juice through the belt while the mud cake is conveyed forward and washed with water, or optionally with hot water imbibition bars, to maximize sugar extraction. The belt is continuously washed at the end of each cycle, ensuring clean filtration media for every pass.
