Filtration for
Recycling / Treatment

Recover raw materials. Keep water in circulation. Operate systems safely.

JVK® develops filtration solutions that make recycling economical, safe and scalable – from black mass processes in battery recycling to industrial wastewater treatment and offshore projects for the provision of drinking water. Made in Germany.

What Our Customers Value

Performance and quality

High throughputs, stable cycles, low residual moisture, clear filtrate

Robustness

Resistant materials for aggressive media (alkalis, acids, salts)

Cost-effectiveness

Short cycles, long service life, low chemical and energy consumption

Security and compliance

Process-reliable filtration with verifiable quality

Typical recycling application

Battery recycling (e-mobility)

From black mass to valuable material recovery.

In hydrometallurgical recycling, defined solid/liquid separation steps are crucial: from the separation of graphite/carbon black fractions and the clarification of leach solutions to the filtration of precipitated metal hydroxides (e.g., Ni, Co, Mn).

Your Goals

  • Clear filtrate for stable downstream steps (solution extraction, crystallization)
  • Low residual moisture for better cake handling and drying
  • Chemical & temperature-resistant components
  • ATEX/Safety aspects depending on the process step

JVK® solution modules

  • Membrane filter plates to shorten cycle times and reduce residual moisture
  • Filtertch engineering suitable for PSD/particle shape (graphite, metal hydroxides) and desired retention
  • Materials: PP/PVDF for aggressive media; membranes e.g., EPDM/NBR depending on medium/temperature
  • Washing & drying strategies (filter cake washing, pressure/air drying)

Typical recycling application

Wastewater Treatment

Safe, compliant, economical.
Whether in the metal, chemical, food, or surface industries: sludges and precipitation products must be reliably dewatered to reduce disposal costs and enable water streams to be reused.
Your Goals
  • Dewatered sludges with high dry solids content (lower disposal costs)
  • Clear filtrate for recirculation or discharge compliance
  • Simple maintenance and short downtimes
JVK® solution modules
  • Chamber or membrane filter plates depending on the cost target/performance requirement
  • Filter cloth selection (weave, yarn count, finish) optimized for retention/permeability
  • Chemical-resistant materials (TPE, EPDM, NBR, FKM, PP (welded-in) for variable pH/media conditions

Typical recycling application

Offshore and drinking water

Reliable filtration for maritime conditions.
In offshore projects (islands, platforms, remote locations), availability and corrosion resistance are paramount. JVK® covers, among other things, pre-treatment and sludge dewatering in the vicinity of seawater treatment/RO plants – e.g. pre-treatment sludges, cleaning/chemical residues, remineralization sludges.
Your Goals
  • Stable, low-maintenance systems with high plant availability
  • Marine-grade materials against salt and chloride exposure
  • Compact, energy-efficient solutions
JVK® solution modules
  • Corrosion-resistant materials (PVDF, PP) in saline environments
  • Membrane filter plates for short cycles/low residual moisture in confined spaces
  • Service concepts for remote locations (quick filter cloth/gasket change, spare parts packages)

Flexible in spare parts service

You need replacement elements – that fit perfectly and are compatible? JVK® supplies OEM-compatible chamber and membrane filter plates, seals and filter cloths for the most common systems – across all industries and documented.

Formats & materials:

150-4000 mm, in all standard formats and designs, various sealing concepts: PP/PVDF, membranes e.g. EPDM/NBR, FKM, TPE.

Optional: upgrades for greater efficiency and process reliability

  • SnapFit®: Screwless connecting element for attachments and filter cloth fastening – reduces downtimes during operation.
  • Post-press indicator: Early detection of process weaknesses(e.g. defective membranes and uneven filter cake build-up) for targeted optimization and more stable cycles.

Your advantage: OEM-compatible, a perfect fit – with useful upgrades for operation & quality.

Laboratory Filter Press Configurator

JVK SnapFit®

Screwless and non-destructive "SNAP" connection

Inspired by applications outside the industry, this fastening technique finds its place in filtration. This simple mounting option significantly reduces working times. The screwless assembly also prevents screws from falling into the filter cake trough. For example, an overhang cloth can be changed quickly and easily at the turbidity bore in the filter press using a ring remover and rubber hammer.

Through the connection with the JVK SnapFit®, the attachments are pre-assembled with sufficient holding force, ensuring they remain firmly connected during the transport of the filter elements. The attachments are fully fixed and sealed to the filter plate by the closing force of the filter press.

The ring remover (JVK utility model) is also a JVK development, specifically designed to release rings fastened with the JVK SnapFit® and safely remove them from the filter press area.
