Replacement Of Filter Press 247 - Litre / Cycle Press With Double Acting Hydroulic Cylinder Motorised Hydroulic Power Pack

Project Overview

This project involved the replacement of an existing 247-liter-per-cycle filter press unit at PT Suzuki Indomobil Motor Plant Tambun I. The upgrade was implemented to improve operational reliability and dewatering performance within the plant’s wastewater treatment facility.
The new filter press is equipped with a double-acting hydraulic cylinder and a motorised hydraulic power pack, enabling safer, more stable, and more controlled operation. All activities were carefully planned to ensure uninterrupted plant operations.

Project Objective
The objective of this project was to enhance the performance and reliability of the wastewater treatment process by upgrading critical dewatering equipment. The replacement aimed to improve system stability, operational efficiency, and long-term equipment reliability in support of automotive manufacturing operations.
