Let’s Save Water

& The World –

Choquenet is a French engineering company specializing in solid–liquid separation, with more than 100 years of experience.

Founded in 1925, the company has developed strong expertise in the design and manufacture of filter presses and thickeners, equipment widely used in industries such as mining, float glass, sugar, and chemicals.

A filter press is a machine that separates solids from liquids in a slurry.

It works by pumping the slurry into a series of chambers lined with filter cloths.

The liquid passes through the cloth while the solids are retained and form a compact “cake.”

This process allows plants to recover valuable materials, recycle water, and reduce waste.

Choquenet has installed more than 5,000 filter presses worldwide, including 4,000 automatic units.

Over the last 40 years, its references show about 2,000 units installed, of which 40% are in the mining sector.

Geographically, 46% are in Europe, 17% in Africa, 16% in the Americas, and 15% in Asia.

Applications include nickel, copper, bauxite, alumina, precious metals, and industrial minerals.

Mining operations face increasing pressure to maximize recovery, minimize water consumption, and ensure stable plant performance.

Choquenet’s filtration solutions help you recover more value from your process while reducing environmental impact.

To support you, we provide laboratory testing of your slurry, allowing our engineers to determine the best filtration conditions before any investment.

If you want to know how dry your slurry can be dewatered, contact us and let our laboratory find out.

With more than a century of experience, you can rely on our expertise.
