Water is widely used in stone cutting, grinding, and polishing to cool tools and remove stone particles. The resulting wastewater contains fine stone powder and should be treated properly to support cleaner production and water recycling.
Why Wastewater Treatment Matters
Effective treatment can help:
- Keep workshop floors and drainage areas cleaner
- Reduce solid buildup in tanks, pumps, and pipelines
- Support process-water recycling
- Simplify sludge collection and disposal
- Improve overall environmental management
How the System Works
A typical process is:
Stone Processing → Wastewater Collection → Solid-Liquid Separation → Sludge Treatment → Water Recycling
A filter press is commonly used to separate water from concentrated stone slurry. It produces a drier filter cake that is easier to collect and handle.
Choosing the Right Capacity
Treatment equipment should match the factory's actual production conditions, including:
- Number of processing machines
- Daily working hours
- Wastewater volume
- Slurry concentration
- Water recycling requirements
- Available installation space
Selecting equipment only by price may lead to insufficient capacity or unnecessary investment.
Planning and Maintenance
Wastewater treatment equipment should be considered together with the factory layout. Tanks, pumps, pipelines, filter presses, and sludge storage areas need sufficient space for operation and maintenance.
Regular inspection of pumps, pipelines, filters, hydraulic components, and tanks can help prevent blockages, leaks, and reduced treatment performance.
KAIDA STONE MACHINERY supplies stone processing equipment and sewage processing solutions. Its engineering team can provide suitable system proposals based on production capacity, factory layout, and customer requirements.
For modern stone factories, wastewater treatment is not only an environmental responsibility but also an important part of efficient production management.
