Fraccaroli e Balzan S.p.A.
About
Fraccaroli & Balzan S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer founded in 1969 in Pescantina, Verona, by Tiziano Fraccaroli and Carlo Balzan. With over 8,000 plants installed worldwide, the company produces three primary filter press configurations: single piston side beam models accommodating 5–120 plates, one piston overhead beam models with 20–100 plates and integrated robotic plate handling, and four piston overhead beam models supporting 80–190 plates for maximum throughput. Their model range spans plate sizes from 300×300 mm to 2,000×2,000 mm (FB/300 through FB/2000 series). All presses feature hydraulic power units for automatic operation, recessed chamber or membrane plates, plate shakers, cake blow and wash systems, and tele-assistance via SIM card or internet. Beyond filter presses, Fraccaroli & Balzan manufactures clarifiers and settling units for gravity sedimentation, compact treatment plants integrating clarification and filtration, and mobile treatment plants for clients who relocate frequently such as quarrying and mining operations. Slurry feeding pumps are offered in centrifugal, diaphragm, or single screw configurations at pressures from 5–6 bar up to 16 bar. The company operates an in-house laboratory for filterability testing and chemical dosing optimization. All products are manufactured in Italy with CE and UL/CSA certification. Applications span stone processing, ceramics, engineered stone, aggregates, mining, concrete, recycling, tunneling, steel, and chemical processing.
Key Products
Chamber and membrane filter presses with side beam design supporting 5-120 plates, offering simple operation and high productivity with open-top access for maintenance.
Overhead beam filter presses supporting 20-100 plates with integrated robot for automatic plate opening/closing and cloth washing, balancing productivity with automation.
High-performance overhead beam filter presses supporting 80-190 plates with four-piston hydraulic system and robot assistance for the fastest cycle times and maximum throughput.
Elastic membrane plates for filter presses that provide additional compression during the dewatering cycle, achieving very low moisture content in the filter cake; available in mixed or full membrane configurations.
Decantation and clarification plants for wastewater treatment that remove suspended solids through gravity sedimentation, producing clean overflow water and concentrated underflow sludge.
Integrated wastewater treatment plants combining clarification and filtration in a compact footprint, designed for smaller operations or space-constrained installations.
Portable, easy-to-assemble and transport wastewater treatment and slurry dewatering plants for customers who frequently relocate operations, such as quarrying and mining companies.
Comprehensive accessories including hydraulic power units, plate shakers, cake blow and wash systems, automatic cloth washers, drip trays, core blow units, and tele-assistance systems for remote monitoring.
Centrifugal, diaphragm, or single screw pumps for feeding slurry into filter presses at pressures from 5-6 bar up to 16 bar, matched to application requirements.
In-house laboratory service for testing customer wastewater and slurry samples to determine filterability, optimal chemical dosing, and treatment process design, plus filtration test kits for customer use.
