BKG® Optigon™ Tempered Water System
The BKG® Optigon™ is our self-cleaning tempered water system for medium and high throughputs. Reach a new level of continuity with evolved filtration technology and produce high-quality pellets in a highly energy-efficient process.
Overview
Efficient water filtration and a smooth drying process are essential to producing a perfect pellet. The BKG® Optigon™ tempered water system with our Polygon™ filter is the ideal solution for processes and materials with a high generation of fines. The rotating Polygon™ filter drum is continuously cleaned by nozzles, keeping maintenance efforts low and pellet quality high.
Additional features such as pre-dewatering and automated cleaning functions for the dryer sieves make the BKG® Optigon™ one of the most evolved tempered water systems on the market.
One Machine - Additional Options
The BKG® Optigon™ offers several design options maximizing flexibility to fit your application. An additional belt filter improves the filtration properties of the system even more.
BKG® Polygon™ Filter
The BKG® Polygon™ water filtration system is an automated, self-cleaning, tempered water system. It minimizes operator intervention to help maximize productivity and increases your operating profit through low energy consumption.
