Liquid Collection & Sludge Hopper System
Under-press liquid and cake collection that separates filtrate and washing water from discharged sludge for a cleaner automated dewatering line.
UNDER-PRESS COLLECTION · ZHIZUNCollection & Hopper Options for the Actual Duty
Compare the available configurations, then confirm the final selection against the process and installed filter press.

Material selected for filtrate characteristics
Liquid Collection Plate / Drip Tray
Collects filtrate, washing wastewater and small amounts of falling sludge beneath the press during filtration, discharge and cloth washing.
Filtration drips
Washing wastewater
Cleaner floor area
Corrosion-conscious collection
Compatible: Plate-and-frame, chamber and diaphragm filter presses.
Selection note: Design around press length, plate quantity, clearance, liquid direction, drainage outlet and wastewater path to avoid accumulation, overflow and blockage.

Custom structural material and discharge interface
Sludge Hopper
Temporarily collects discharged filter cake for centralized transfer and can connect to gates or conveyors for automated discharge.
Centralized cake collection
Continuous transfer
Large cake output
Automated discharge
Compatible: Filter press discharge systems and downstream conveying equipment.
Selection note: Match volume to one discharge batch. For wet or sticky sludge, consider a steeper hopper angle or an anti-bridging device.
Confirm length, width, volume, material, discharge method and interfaces against the press, filtrate, cake output and site space before final fabrication.
Customize the Collection Space Beneath the Press
Design this system around press length, plate count, cake output, filtrate properties, available clearance and the route for liquid and cake discharge.
Discuss your applicationPress Footprint
Match the collection plate and hopper to press dimensions and lower clearance.
Liquid Route
Set the drainage direction and outlet position to avoid pooling and overflow.
Cake Volume
Size hopper capacity to the cake quantity released in each cycle.
Discharge Interface
Choose gate and conveyor integration around the required downstream transfer.
Separate Liquid and Sludge at the Source
The collection plate catches liquid under the press while the hopper centralizes cake discharge, reducing floor contamination and manual cleanup.

Collection Plate
Receives drips and washing wastewater beneath the press.
Sludge Hopper
Concentrates cake for controlled discharge and transfer.
Drainage Route
Directs liquid to a planned outlet and downstream collection.
Conveyor Interface
Connects cake handling to screw or belt conveyor equipment.
Combine Collection, Washing and Conveying
The system can be standalone or integrated with cloth washing, conveying and squeezing equipment as part of an automated dewatering line.
Cloth Washing System
Receives washing water and released sludge during cloth cleaning.
