The J-Mate® Continuous Dryer, a JWI® product, reduces disposal costs by removing moisture from dewatered cake. It is designed to be used for second stage volume and weight reduction downstream from a J-Press® filter press or other dewatering systems.

​The J-Press® filter press, a JWI® product, reduces 80 barrels of metal hydroxide sludge to 4 barrels of cake. While this is a substantial reduction, greater savings are realized with the addition of the J-Mate® dryer. Since 60% to 80% of the filter cake is moisture, the J-Mate® Dryer can further reduce 4 barrels of filter cake to 1 barrel of dried material for easier, less costly disposal.

Cake from the J-Press® filter press is loaded into the continuous J-Mate® Dryer receiving hopper using one of several material handling options or directly into a special mobile dumpster. Continuous J-Mate® Dryer Solutions
A pioneer in dewatering technology, Evoqua Water Technologies has established itself as the leading provider of dewatering solutions in a wide range of wastewater and processing applications. Evidenced of Evoqua's leadership in metal hydroxide waste reduction is the Continuous J-Mate® Dryer, a JWI® product. Designed as a second stage dryer for further reduction after mechanical dewatering, the J-Mate® Dryer takes over where the filter press, belt press and centrifuge leave off, producing an extremely dry, easily disposed of material.
