Our Philosophy on Manufacturing and Environmental Responsibility

At Filtaquip, we are dedicated to providing efficient, eco-friendly dewatering equipment manufacturing solutions that prioritise sustainability without compromising performance. As a South African OEM, we specialise in solid/liquid separation and dewatering equipment, including electrowinning equipment, filter presses and high-pressure feed pumps, designed to optimise sludge management and resource recovery for mining, chemicals and industrial clients.

Every piece of equipment we manufacture is engineered around a simple principle: performance and environmental responsibility aren’t a trade-off. Our filter press systems are designed to maximise solids recovery and minimise water usage, producing a filter cake with less than 25% moisture content — easy to handle, transport and dispose of sustainably, while the recovered filtrate is clean enough to recycle back into the process. This approach reduces our clients’ water footprint, lowers tailings dam volumes, and supports compliance with increasingly strict environmental regulations across the mining and industrial sectors.

Our services include flexible filter press rental options, maintenance contracts and refurbishment programmes, ensuring the longevity of your dewatering equipment and reducing unnecessary capital replacement. We also offer advanced electrowinning equipment and electrorefining systems for metal extraction and processing — including cathode blanks, busbars and tank house components — along with expert consulting, laboratory and pilot testing services to help clients select and optimise the right equipment for their application before committing to capital investment.

With a focus on precision engineering, we deliver complete turnkey solutions — including design, civils, fabrication, erection and commissioning — to meet your operational needs while minimising environmental impact. From initial feasibility testing through to on-site hot commissioning and operator training, Filtaquip supports clients at every stage of the dewatering equipment and electrowinning equipment lifecycle, backing every installation with responsive after-sales support and a commitment to sustainable, cost-effective operation.
