JWI Filter Press Replacement
Replace Your Old JWI Filter Press With a Modern Met-Chem Filter Press
Many facilities across North America still operate older JWI filter presses originally installed decades ago. These systems were known for rugged construction and reliable sludge dewatering performance, but many plants are now facing increasing maintenance costs, obsolete controls, worn hydraulics, leaking filter plates, and unavailable OEM support.
Met-Chem manufactures modern replacement filter presses designed to replace aging JWI systems while improving reliability, safety, automation, and parts availability.
