How It Works
The screw press operates through a continuous mechanical process:
Sludge Feeding – Thickened sludge enters the machine.
Gradual Compression – A rotating screw conveys sludge while increasing pressure, squeezing out water.
Filtration – Water passes through a screen, while dewatered sludge is discharged.
Key Advantages
Low Energy Consumption – Operates at lower power compared to centrifuges.
Minimal Maintenance – Fewer moving parts reduce wear and tear.
Quiet Operation – Ideal for urban wastewater plants.
High Solids Capture Rate – Achieves up to 90-95% solids content in the cake.
