Peter Zauner Sep 16, 2010:
belt fiter press vs. belt press I note sibsab's and szkott's comments. <br>I would, however, like to quote Metcalf & Eddy, "Wastewater Engineering" 4th Edition, McGraw-Hill, 2003, Chapter 14 "Treatment, Reuse and Disposal of Solids and Biosolids" where the terms "belt-filter press" and "belt press" are used synonymously. In particular, Figure 14-42 on page 1565 is titled "Schematic diagram of a belt-press dewatering system [...]".
szkott Sep 16, 2010:
hinged belt filter (HBF) I see you used hinged belt filter. Why not close the this question?
szkott Sep 16, 2010:
Endlesss belt filter /Endlosbandfilter The endless belt filter is also hinged. I don't think the hinges are necessarily important - I think the German name was chosen only to differentiate between the two machines, i.e. the endlosfilter and klappbandfilter are otherwise very similar.

See below, the endlosbandfilter typically has a "klappband" too, yet it's not called endlosklappbandfilter in German.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The filter belt according to claim 6, wherein said separable connection for the guide strips is a hinge connection.

8. The filter belt according to claim 6, wherein said separable connection for guide strips is a *hinge connection* which comprises a row of parallel wire loops projecting from each end face of the guide strips, and locking pins cooperating with respective wire loops to constitute the *hinge connections*.
szkott Sep 16, 2010:
Not "Belt Press" "Asker: it's a belt press, but this one is hinged"
I don't think belt press is correct. Belt filter or belt filter press - the emphasis seems to always be on the *filter* with these machines. Check the wikipedia link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_filter) it looks almost identical to the machine at your link: http://www.leiblein.de/de/filtertechnik/klappbandfilter.html
Peter Zauner mentions "belt filter press" in his answer, that's why I now support his answer.

or belt filter press
Note from asker:
it's a belt press, but this one is hinged
Peer comment(s):

neutral Sabine Akabayov, PhD : und was ist mit "Klappband"?
9 hrs
neutral szkott : I support this answer now, but "Belt Press" is wrong. Belt filter or belt filter press, but not "belt press" - that's for printing as far as I can tell @ sibsab, You could translate klappband literally (hinged-belt), but it's probably wrong.

horizontal belt filter

"The belt filter [is] sometimes called a belt filter press"

"Improvements
The effectiveness of the operation can be increased by creating a pressure difference across the filter cloth. The filter cloth is directed though a zone where either pressure or vacuum pushes water from the filter cloths and ultimately to drain. [2]"

Tese improvements are called "pressure belt filter" and "vacuum belt filter"

I added "horizontal", because it differentiates this one from the others on the website. The German terms on the website are also not the only possible names for the belt presses listed - there is some variation in the naming, even in German.
The continuous belt press is also NOT horizontal - it's the only one that could have been otherwise mistaken for this horizontal press, which also has a continuous band albeit "hinged".

Note from asker:
I found this translation as well, but google search results for this name don't satisfy either. I'm still convinced there must be another (more common) name
