Fast press

The screw press is advanced dewatering equipment designed to remove water from sludge efficiently and effectively. Using a “screw press” mechanism, this equipment transforms liquid sludge into a dehydrated material, making it easier to handle, transport and dispose of.

The liquid sludge is fed into a cylindrical chamber that houses a helical screw. The screw propels the sludge along the chamber, compressing it against a flange. During this process, the solids-free water passes through a grate in the chamber wall and flows into a collection compartment, from where it is directed to the equipment outlet. The concentrated sludge is released through a small passage at the lateral ends of the flange.

Screw press specifications

Main components

Main machine: Where the dewatering of the sludge takes place.
Flocculation mixing tank: Used to prepare the sludge before dewatering.
Measuring tank: Measures the amount of sludge to be processed.
Electrical control cabinet: Controls and monitors the operation of the screw press.
Motors: Provide the energy needed to operate the equipment.

Benefits of the EP screw press

High dehydration efficiency:

It removes a significant amount of water from the sludge, reducing its volume and weight.

Reduced operating costs:

By reducing the volume of sludge, transportation and disposal costs are significantly reduced.

Durable material:

Made of 304SS stainless steel, the screw press offers durability and resistance to corrosion.

Easy to handle:

Dehydrated sludge is easier to handle, store and transport.
