Siemens Expands Dewatering Solutions into Mining Market

"IPM has a strong reputation in the mining market with their filter presses," said Dave Spyker, Executive Vice President of the Industrial Segment for Siemens Water Technologies. "The acquisition expands our filter press line of products and related services further into the global mining market, and into other industries as well, including chemical and remediation."

IPM will continue to operate out of its office in Manchester, New Hampshire. The company provides a line of filter presses that are robust and highly automated, offering shorter filter press cycle times and high speed shifting, resulting in reduced cost. IPM filter presses provide such high cake dryness that thermal drying equipment may not be needed further, reducing operating expenses. The IPM filter press will be incorporated into the existing Siemens dewatering product portfolio, which includes the J-Press line of filter presses.
