            Equipment for coal, mining, mrtallurgical and other branches of industry, 
              for machine-building and power stations:
              
              1. Automatic tower chamber filterpresses of KMP type Designed for filtering 
              slurries containing from 5 to 500 kg/m3 of suspended particles and forming cakes 
              with high hydraulic resistance. Filterpresses are produced with filtering area 
              from 12.5 to 38 sq. m. and equipped with automatic control system, hydraulic 
              plates clamping device and filtering cloth tightening device. Easy control and 
              maintenance, reliable operation.
              
              2. Plate-and-frame filterpresses ROR, ROM, RZR, RZM Designed for filtering neutral, 
              alcaline, acidic slurries with content of solid phase up to 500 kg/m3. Cotton, 
              polypropylene, polyether and polyamide fabrics are used as filtering elements. 
              Filterpresses are characterized by a developed filtering area from 2 to 140 
              sq. m., high degree of dewatering, simple reliable design and long service life.
              
              3. Automatic high capacity chamber filterpresses FKV Filterpresses with filtering 
              area of 200-600 sq. m. are designed for dewatering of the remnants of coal flotation 
              and waste-waters sludges. Introduction of filterpresses of FKM type will allow 
              to eliminate sludge accumulators contaminating the environment and to mechanize 
              service-personnel work as well as to reduce occupied production area by 2-3 
              times and specific material consumption - by 1.5-2 times compared to the conventional 
              types of equipment.
              
              4. Disc vacuum filters of DOO type Designed for separation of slurries with 
              content of solid phase up to 5000 kg/m3 which form the cakes requiring no washing 
              and not cracking. Introduction of one disc filter DOO 160 or DOO 250 allows 
              to reduce considerably filtering equipment park and production area occupied 
              by it. These filters are characterized by high capacity, low moisture content 
              of the obtained cake and simple maintenance.
              
              5. Belt vacuum filters LON, LOP, Belt filterpresses LMN Designed for filtering 
              aggressive and non-aggressive, quickly settling slurries with non-homogenous 
              solid phase (filters LON, LOP), for the dewatering of waste-waters cakes that 
              were primarily treated with flocculants (filterpresses LMN). Can be used in 
              coal enrichment process. Filtration is effected via filtering cloth on the outer 
              surface of rubber-fabric belt (LON), via descending filtering cloth (LOP), via 
              overlapping meshes in between of which slurry is fed.
              
              6. Leaf vertical filters MVR, MVV, MVJ Designed for filtering fine-dispersed, 
              easily evaporating, highly viscous, oxidizing toxic slurries. Filtration is 
              effected via filtering cloth or filtering mesh with precoat. Leaf vertical filters 
              are characterized by stable capacity, high efficiency and filtering purity. 
              
              7. Candle ceramic filters PKJ, PKO Are used for thickening and decolouring pressure 
              filtration of weakly concentrated slurries. Filtering area from 1 to 80 sq. 
              m. Ceramic candles fastened to the manifolds forming sections are used as filtering 
              elements. High capacity, developed filtering area, low maintenance cost - those 
              are the characteristic features of these filters.
              
              8. Apparatuses with mixing devices Envisages such processes as homogenization, 
              suspending, emulsification, dispersion, heat exchanging. Comprise the casting,
