July 27, 2012, Hollidaysburg, Pa. — McLanahan Corporation have launched the first line of McLanahan Filter Presses that are designed, manufactured and serviced directly from the U.S. 

These fully automatic systems provide an efficient, cost-effective fines dewatering solution for the industry. They eliminate the need for slurry ponds and a full-time operator while producing dry cakes and use less chemicals. The McLanahan Smart Hydraulics system keeps the press in alignment for longer seal life, better alignment and easier diagnostics.

This technology treats the underflow of a Thickener, Clarifier or other waste and dewatering processes. Several different options are available in regards to the design of the machine. Both overhead beam and side beam designs are available and can feature either recessed chamber filter plates or membrane filter plates with a wide range of available pressures from 225 to 725 psi. Other options include core blow systems and automatic wash systems.
