Matec claims high productivity for its Twin Freccia Rossa, the world’s biggest filter press. A prototype of the machine was shown at bauma in Munich, Germany in October 2022. The first full-production, 50m-long, up to 380-plate and 600tonne/hour machine was subsequently snapped up by a Turkish iron ore mining customer. The Italian company says its innovative machine combines the efficiency of two machines into a single product with exceptional performance, offering faster sludge feeding and cake discharge time.
