Can Met-Chem Rebuild Any Filter Press or Clarifier?

Along with refurbishing our large inventory of Used Filter Presses and Used Clarifiers, Met-Chem is able to recondition a customer’s filter press or clarifier, regardless of the brand. Below is a list of the steps involved:

The customer will send us photos of their equipment. From the photos we will provide a quote with the work that needs to be done. This will be broken down into two sections, work that we know will need to be done and potential work that we cannot confirm until we test the unit.

The customer will send us their wastewater treatment equipment. We will do a no charge, full inspection on the unit and provide a firm quote for the work that is needed.

Once the customer agrees and places the order, we will begin work on reconditioning the filter press or clarifier.

When completed photos will be sent to the customer to show the quality work that has been done.  We also welcome the customer to come and visit to inspect the filter press or clarifier.

If you are interested in having Met-Chem recondition your wastewater treatment equipment, please contact our sales department.

Let Met-Chem Change Your Filter Press Cloths

Met-Chem understands the time constraints put onto manufacturing facilities and there is often not enough time in the day or enough manpower available to perform maintenance such as Replacing the Filter Press Cloths in your filter press.  If you do not have the time or manpower to change your filter press cloths, there are several options available to help with this issue

Option 1

First, a set of plates, as small as 2, can be purchased from Met-Chem. This will allow you to swap out old plates with these new plates 2 at a time.  This will allow you to take your time to change these two cloths.  Once these two are done they can be swapped out for the next two that need done.  This is performed until all the plates have been reclothed.

Option 2

A second option is to send the filter press plates to Met-Chem to have them professionally changed be our Met-Chem Installation Team.  The filter press plates will have their old cloths and gaskets removed.  The plates will be given a thorough acid wash and then power washed.  We will then install the new cloths and new gaskets.  If you are able to have your filter press shutdown for a few days we can quickly perform the work on your plates and get them back ASAP.  If you are not able to be down for a few days then we can provide you with either a full set of new plates or a partial set of filter press plates.  As with option one, we will provide new plates with cloths and gaskets in the quantity that works for your timeline and budget.  Once the new plates are installed in your filter press you will send your old plates to Met-Chem and we will perform the work on your current plates and send back once completed.

Whatever your needs are regarding filter presses Met-Chem has an option that can help.  Please Contact Our Sales Team for assistance
