The global horizontal belt filters market size is expected to be USD 134.9 million in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 180.67 million in 2031, at a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period.

Industrial equipment called belt press filters or belt filters are used to dewater sludge in the mining, chemical, food processing, and power sectors. High extraction efficiency is offered by horizontal belt filters, also known as horizontal belt press filters. In comparison to other types of press filters, horizontal belt filters assist in obtaining low cake moisture, decreased operating costs, greater productivity, and maximum filtration area.

Horizontal belt filters can produce the highest cake purity at a relatively low cost. In horizontal belt filters, the slurry is mechanically compressed by tensioned porous belts and rollers of progressively smaller diameter. These factors are anticipated to drive the horizontal filters market growth.

COVID-19 Impact: Downfall of Sales Leads to Market Distortion

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the horizontal belt filters market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Beginning in 2021, the COVID-19 illness spread around the globe, affecting countless people in general, and major governments across the world issued orders for work stoppages and foot restrictions. Most initiatives have been seriously impacted, with the exception of the groups that provide medical products and life support equipment. When their job or school may only involve virtual meetings, many loyal consumers could not see the purpose in applying, let alone purchasing, cosmetics.

LATEST TRENDS

"Increasing Demand from Various Applications to Boost the Market Growth"

For the dewatering of slurries or sludge, horizontal belt filters are employed in a variety of industries, including the chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, and petrochemical ones. They are extensively employed in the production of fruit juice, wastewater and sewage treatment, paper manufacturing, mining, metallurgy, breweries, dyeing, and chemical companies.

This device comprises a horizontal belt that travels continuously and resembles a conveyor belt. At one end, slurry is loaded, and the vacuum is drawn up the side of the belt. The solid cake is left on top as the filtrate flows through the belt. The cake is cleaned and dried as the belt rotates, and as it loops around beneath the machine, it is finally ejected off the end of the belt. This apparatus is typically employed for slurries containing solids that are difficult to suspend in solution. Few of these industrial-style cake filters have been explicitly optimized or "scaled-down" for use in the biotech lab or pilot plant, despite the fact that many of them are in use outside of the biotechnology industry.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Benefits of the Product to Give Market Extra Boost "

Horizontal belt filters are more effective, cheaper, require less maintenance, and have a longer lifespan than other industrial equipment like centrifuges, vacuum-disc filters, and frame filter presses. During the forecast period, they are anticipated to be the main market drivers. The market for horizontal belt filters is anticipated to be driven in the upcoming years by the expansion of the food, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical sectors.

The separation of various slurries, such as fine slimes, fibrous materials, and coarse granular particles, is accomplished using horizontal belt filters. Horizontal belt filters are also in demand across a variety of industry verticals due to benefits like flexibility of operation, capacity for high throughputs, and adaptability to corrosive slurries. The producers conduct extensive research and development to create cutting-edge filters that can handle thick and heavy cakes, function at extremely high temperatures, run at high speeds, and have a robust design.

"Technological Advancements to Accelerate Market Growth"

The performance of horizontal vacuum belt filters (HVBFs) is good in applications requiring cake washing. An HVBF can use counter-current flood washing to wash in many phases in a single run from slurry to dewatered cake. Visibility and less slurry inventory are a couple of the advantages HVBFs have over Rotary Vacuum Drums and Rotary Disc Filters. On a horizontal vacuum belt filter, filtration can be seen from the feed box to the cake discharge. The only slurry required for operation is the slurry that will be filtered because an overhead feed box has been used in place of a slurry tank.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Various Drawbacks of the Product Obstructing the Market Growth"

Filter presses have been used for a broader variety of uses than any other type of filter. Though, disadvantages of the filter press comprise intermittent process and high labor necessities. Therefore, filter presses capacity can be observed as mediocre to nonstop, vacuum filters.
