Hey Maria
It was good to meet you the other day. I'm putting together the information you were looking for, but I want to make
sure I have everything you need. I have attached the filter press brochure and will leave a printed copy at the plant for
future reference (our filter press is the 800mm). We currently have 22 trucks at the plant so given that we should have a
water demand around 23,100 gallons (previously we had a 21,000-gal water demand). Our truck count went up but our
avg load now is around 3 per day per truck. We use a consistent amount of water per truck at the wash station because
it is set at 40 gallons per truck (our engineer used 10 gallons to account for spillage and 50 gallons per wash off after
loading). Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks,
Seth Girouard

WHAT IS A FILTER PRESS?
A filter press is a batch operation, fixed volume piece of equipment ranging from .01-600ft3 that separates liquids and solids using
pressure filtration. A slurry is pumped into the filter press and dewatered under pressure. A filter press can be used for process, water
and wastewater treatment in a variety of different industries and applications.
A filter press has four main components:
Frame: The steel frame acts as a clamping device for the filter plates. (A)
Filter Plates: A filter cake forms in the chambers between filter plates. (B)
Manifold: Our standard manifold consists of piping and valves which control the slurry
inlet and connect the four corner filtrate discharge ports into a common discharge pipe. (C)
Filter Cloth: A cloth filter that is attached to both sides of a filter plate. Solids build up on
cloth to form a filter cake, separating liquids from solids.
IOW DOES IT WORK?
O4 Slurry is pumped into the filter press.
[ The solids are distributed evenly on
the filter cloths during the feed (fill)
cycle.
When the correct valves in the manifold
are open, the filtrate exits the press
through the filtrate outlet. As the filter
press feed pump builds pressure, the
solids build within the chambers until
they are completely full of filter cake.
• Type of slurry to be processed
• Amount of slurry to be processed in a given amount of time expressed in either:
• Gallons per minute, per hour, per day, or per week
• Pounds of solids (100% dry basis) per time period
• Number of hours per day, and days per week the process operates
• Percent solids (by weight) in slurry
• Specific gravity of slurry if available
• Process operating temperature
• Density of wet filter cake
• Chemical conditioning amounts, if required (D.E., etc.)
• Press location: Indoor or outdoor, temperature range
• Desired cake thickness (std. is 32mm -1 1/4")
• Desired closure & control automation (Specify: Manual, Semi -Automatic or Automatic)
• Other (Please specify optional features required)
Solids begin to build on the filter cloth,
trapping the ensuing particles and building
a filter cake. The filter cake acts as a
depth filter for solid/liquid separation.
Filtrate exits the plates through the corner
ports into the manifold.
Once the chambers are full, the fill
cycle is complete and the filter press is
ready to be emptied.

"I have 8 Load & Go wash systems in my region, and the first one was put into service in 2007. Even on these older units, the cost
for maintenance is only $300 - $500 per year."
Scott Brockberg

"The Load & GO has a lot of advantages over the conventional method of washing down after getting loaded. It is much quicker
and much more consistent in terms of cleaning and water added into the mix. It is our intention to have a Load & GO at every one
of our 24 plants"
Weldon Ratliff
Ratliff Ready Mix
Waco, TX 76710
"We have calculated time saving of over 12 minutes per load since we installed our Load & GO under our central mix plant. At the
same time, we are getting a lot less wet loads and creating a safer work place for our drivers. Putting in a Load & GO was a great idea!"
Buddy Jenkins

"The Load & Go does such a great job that I cannot believe that everyone wouldn't want one of these at their plant:'
Mike Rivecca

"We put in our Load & Go in 2014 after seeing it at the World of Concrete. The biggest return we have seen is the ability to get the
loaded trucks out of the yard fast. Plus Q.C. has an easier time dealing with one plant operator to keep the slump accurate without
the drivers adjusting each load"

HOW IT WORKS
The Load & Go ready mix truck wash system uses purposely -targeted high pressure water to
remove concrete and cement dust from your mixer as it leaves the batch plant. The system can
be located where you are currently washing down or in -line with the loading lane. Since the ", J t6+�d `<•r tl w
