GRS Series III KOMPRThe Best Value and Performance in Mechanical

Heres Why:Larger Standard Filtration Area for

reater Process Throughput andigher Cake Consistency

he GRS Series III starts with more standard filtration area than

her comparable systems and combines logically integratedavity dewatering, adjustable wedge and high compressionages for optimum performance.When combined with K-Ssgh Rate Drainage System, the GRS Series III significantlycreases process throughput over a similarly-sized competitivestem with better filtration results.

choice of 2 or 3-belt dewatering systems with standard,tended and independent gravity zonesunique to theRS Series IIIoffers consistently high cake solids performancer normal, poor draining, or extremely dilute sludges.

Patented High Rate Drainageystem that Dramaticallymproves Filtration Ratehe unique design of the GRS Series IIIs patented Highate Roto-Kone Drainage Systemanother K-S technologicalvancesignificantly increases throughput overmpetitively-sized belt filter press systems. The Roto-Konesique ability to hold solids in the gravity zone for longer

eriods of time and turn these solids repeatedly results in aamatically improved filtration rate.

The Komline-Sanderson

An Easily Adjustable, Variable WedgeCompression Zone that MaximizesProcess Rate and PerformanceThe GRS Series III features a variable wedge compression

zone that utilizes two tensioned filter belts to draw dewateringmaterial into the wedge under gradually increasing pressureas the material approaches the first dewatering drum.

Unlike fixed or adjustable plate design wedge stages, the GRSSeries IIIs unique ability to set a gap by moving the wedgestages entrance roller provides the needed flexibility toaccommodate inlet consistency changes and other processfactors to maximize both throughput rate and performance.

A High Performance, Larger toSmaller Drum Pressure Profile forHigher Cake Solids ConcentrationThe GRS Series IIIs high performance pressure profile beginswith a larger 30 diameter self-bailing, perforated dewateringdrum as opposed to smaller drums typically found in othercompetitive belt filter presses.While more costly to build, alarger diameter first drum starts the dewatering process at alower pressure to eliminate the possibility of an upset condition.

Use of this larger first drum and a succession of decreasingdiameter drums gradually increases the pressure profileto a maximum dewatering force that produces thehighest cake solids.

Choice of 2 or 3-Belt Dewatering Systems with Standard, Extended, orndependent Gravity Zones for Consistently High Cake Solids in Varyingludge Conditions

Belt System with Standard Gravity Zone

GRS)

he standard 2-belt gravity dewatering system (GRS) utilizes

e of the pressure belts in the gravity zone. Belt selectionpresents a compromise between a more open belt requiredr optimum gravity drainage and a tighter belt required totain solids in the pressure zone.

se for sludges having feed solids concentrations of 1.5% andeater, or where there is no additional benefit to retainingckened solids in the gravity section for longer periods of time.

Belt System with Extended Gravity ZoneGRSL)

he extended 2-belt gravity dewatering system (GRSL) providesarger gravity filtration area for slow-draining sludges.

se of an extended gravity zone allows additional drainage timeassure removal of all free water, and proper stabilization oflids prior to entering the wedge and high pressure zones.

se for sludges with feed solids concentrations of 1.5 to 2.5%other sludges that drain slowly and will benefit from extrawatering time.

Belt System with Independent Gravity ZoneG-GRSL)

he 3-belt gravity dewatering system (G-GRSL) withdependent gravity zone provides increased hydraulic filterpacity from the same gravity filtration area as the 2-belt GRSL.

he G-GRSLs specially designed independent gravity zoneows selection of open, more porous belts t o accommodate

e higher hydraulic loadings that occur when dewateringute sludges.

separate belt drive provides independent speed control to:

Handle dilute sludges with feed solidsconcentrations of 1.5% solids and lower

Produce higher cake solids

Provide higher production rates without sacrificingcake solids
