No more transporting sludge. No more compromising on efficiency. Loway delivers laboratory-grade solid-liquid separation on a movable platform. Engineered for remote mining, emergency response, and multi-site operations. Zero civil foundation required.
Key Capabilities:
- Rapid Deployment: Setup in <4 hours.
- Integration: Complete turnkey system (Press + Pump + PLC).
Mobility: Forklift-ready skids or customizable trailer chassis.
Your On-Demand Filtration Partner
For project managers and plant engineers facing filtration challenges in remote locations, temporary projects, or multi-site operations, the solution is no longer constrained by fixed infrastructure.
The Loway Mobile Filter Press is a flexible, high-performance solution. This turnkey system integrates a high-efficiency filter press, hydraulic power unit, feed pump, and control panel onto a robust trailer or skid. Designed for rapid deployment (setup in <4 hours), easy relocation, and immediate productivity, eliminating the need for costly permanent installation at each site. It is the ideal answer for contract dewatering, pilot projects, emergency spill response, or supplemental processing capacity during peak periods or plant maintenance.
Why Choose a Mobile Solution?
Unmatched Flexibility
Drive it in, connect utilities, and start processing.
Drastically reduce project lead times from months to days.
Cost Efficiency
Eliminate CAPEX on multiple fixed installations.
One mobile unit can serve multiple locations sequentially, maximizing your ROI.
Plug-and-Play Integration
Each unit is a self-contained ecosystem including the Press, Pump (Screw/Diaphragm), and PLC Panel.
No complex on-site assembly required.
Proven Performance
Don‘t compromise on results. We use the same high-pressure technology (up to 20 bar) as our stationary models, ensuring high dry solids content.
Engineered for Mobility and Durability
- Mobility Platform
- Skid-Mounted: Heavy-duty steel base with forklift pockets. Ideal for moving within a factory or shipping via standard container.
- Trailer-Mounted: Integrated onto a towable chassis with heavy-duty axles. Note: Chassis can be customized to meet local road-legal regulations.
- Structural Integrity (FEA Verified): Our frames undergo Finite Element Analysis to simulate transport vibrations, ensuring the skid never warps or cracks during relocation.
- Core Filtration Unit
- Type: Available as Recessed Chamber (for sludge) or Plate & Frame (for polishing).
- Material: Corrosion-resistant Virgin Polypropylene (PP) plates housed in a Q345B solid steel frame.
- Integrated Ancillary Systems
- Smart Control: Centralized Siemens/Schneider PLC automates pressure regulation and cycle timing.
- Feed System: Integrated High-Pressure Feed Pump sized to match the press capacity.
- Utility Connections: Standardized “Camlock” or Flange inlets for power and slurry feed for quick setup.

- Transparency
Procurement managers are welcome to request factory audits or progress video updates during the build process.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Have More Questions? Our technical team is ready to provide detailed, personalized guidance.
Q1: Can I rent a mobile filter press from Loway?
Loway is primarily a manufacturer of new equipment. However, we work with many Equipment Rental Companies globally. Buying a robust Loway mobile press allows you to build a high-ROI rental fleet. For specific short-term needs, contact us, and we may refer you to a local partner.
Q2: Does the unit require an external power source?
Standard units require a site connection (e.g., 380V/480V, 3-Phase). For remote sites without grid power, we can integrate a Diesel Generator directly onto the trailer chassis, making the unit 100% self-sufficient.
Q3: Can you customize the trailer to be road-legal in my country?
We offer “Site Towable” trailers as standard. For fully “Road Legal” trailers (with DOT/EU-compliant lights, brakes, and VIN), we can either custom-build to your local standards or mount our skid onto a chassis you provide locally to ensure full compliance.
Q4: How do you handle cake discharge on a mobile unit?
Since the unit sits on a trailer, ground clearance is limited. We typically integrate a Foldable Screw Conveyor or Belt Conveyor under the press. It folds up during transport and deploys during operation to move filter cakes into a dumpster or pile.
Q5: What happens if the pump vibrates too much during operation?
We use vibration-dampening mounts for all pumps and control panels. Additionally, the skid frame is engineered with reinforced cross-bracing to absorb dynamic loads, ensuring the system remains stable even on uneven ground.
