As Sri Lanka rapidly transitions towards a more industrialized economy, the demand for sustainable and cost-effective waste management solutions has never been higher. Specifically in sectors like Textile manufacturing in Gampaha, Gem mining in Ratnapura, and Tea processing in the Central Highlands, the need for efficient sludge dewatering is paramount. Manual filter presses have emerged as the "Gold Standard" for SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) across the island due to their robust design, zero-to-low electricity consumption for clamping, and incredible durability in tropical climates.
At Changzhou Jovios Equipment Co., Ltd., we understand that a Sri Lankan factory owner looks for more than just a machine; they look for operational reliability and ROI. Our manual filter presses are engineered to handle high-salinity coastal environments and the rigorous demands of the BOI (Board of Investment) industrial zones, ensuring compliance with the Central Environmental Authority (CEA) discharge standards.
Our manual filter presses utilize a specialized Screw Jack or Manual Hydraulic mechanism. Unlike fully automated systems that require complex PLC programming and high-voltage stabilized power—which can be a challenge in some rural Sri Lankan regions—our manual units offer:
Components are treated with anti-corrosive coatings to withstand the high humidity of the Colombo port area and coastal processing plants.
Achieve up to 75% solid content, significantly reducing the cost of sludge transport and disposal in municipal landfills.
The manual clamping system requires no electrical power, making it ideal for remote mining sites or eco-friendly tea estates aiming for carbon neutrality.
Compliance with CEA (Central Environmental Authority): Sri Lanka's environmental regulations are becoming stricter. Industrial discharge must meet specific BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Suspended Solids) levels. Our manual filter presses act as the primary separation stage, ensuring that the filtrate meets the baseline for secondary treatment or direct discharge where applicable.
Supply Chain Advantage: By sourcing from our China-based factory, Sri Lankan buyers benefit from the China-Sri Lanka Free Trade Agreement (FTA) frameworks and lower freight costs compared to European alternatives, without sacrificing German-standard engineering quality.
Changzhou Jovios Equipment Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer and solution provider specializing in solid-liquid separation. Located in Changzhou National High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Jiangsu Province, China, the company operates a modern manufacturing base covering more than 50,000 square meters.
Our experienced R&D team consists of more than 30 senior engineers. We independently design, develop, and manufacture a complete range of filtration equipment, from 250mm lab units to massive 2000mm automatic systems. For the Sri Lankan market, we emphasize our Manual Screw Jack and Manual Hydraulic models for their unbeatable cost-to-performance ratio.








Our manual filter presses are used in Nuwara Eliya and Ella for tea seed oil filtration and concentrate recovery. The use of food-grade virgin polypropylene plates ensures no contamination.
In Ratnapura, gem pits produce high volumes of muddy water. Our portable manual units help miners separate silt to reuse water and comply with environmental safety laws.
With Colombo's skyline expanding (Port City), our hydraulic manual units are perfect for onsite treatment of piling slurry and concrete washing wastewater.
The "Coconut Triangle" (Kurunegala, Chilaw, Puttalam) utilizes our stainless steel manual presses for high-clarity oil filtration and processing.
