METHOD FOR REMOVING LIQUID FROM A MIXTURE OF LIQUID AND SOLID MATTER

摘要

The invention relates to a method for removing liquid from a mixture of liquid and solid matter. Said mixture is led over one or more casings by means of a conveyor belt which is pervious to liquid. In use a sub-atmospheric pressure is generated in the casings during a first period, in which said casing(s) and said conveyor belt are stationary with respect to each other, whilst at the same time a pressure is exerted on the mixture by means of rollers. During a period following on said first period a relative movement takes place between the conveyor belt and the casing(s), whilst during this period no sub-atmospheric pressure is exerted in the casings and no compressive force is exerted on the mixture by means of the rollers.
