Suitable Solutions for Every Process Step

In the processing of phosphoric acid and potash, handling fine particles and corrosive slurries is required. Continuous operation poses a challenge to filter performance, maintenance, and environmental compliance.

Sefar provides durable, high-performance filter media tailored to each step of fertilizer production. These advanced solutions handle fine particles and corrosive slurries, reduce downtime, improve acid clarity, and support efficient, reliable, and environmentally compliant operations.

  • Phosphate rock beneficiation and washing
    Phosphate rock must be washed to remove clays, silicas, and fines. Sefar filter belts provide high washing efficiency and consistent dewatering in continuous operation.
  • Phosphoric acid clarification
    Precise separation of gypsum and acid is important for product quality. Our filter cloths support hemihydrate and dihydrate processes with high chemical resistance and clarity.
  • Dewatering
    Efficient dewatering reduces handling and disposal costs. Sefar belts deliver fast drainage, low residual moisture, and excellent mechanical stability.
