DEWATERING SCREW
Dewatering screws are devices designed to separate the liquid contained in sludge, leaving a mass of solids with reduced water content. They work by rotating a worm screw inside a set of rings that allow the supernatant to pass.
Robust Structure and Design:
They are built from strong, durable materials, such as high quality stainless steel (AISI 304/316).
Worm Screw:
The key component is a helical shaft that rotates inside the drum, moving the sludge towards the outlet and separating the water from the solid material.
Speed and Retention Time Adjustment:
Some models allow alteration of the rotation speed and sludge retention time inside the drum. This makes it easier to control the dewatering process.
Control and Automation:
Our models have automated control systems to enable programmed adjustment of parameters such as rotation speed, retention time and solids discharge.
Energy Efficiency:
Dewatering screws are designed to minimise energy consumption. This helps reduce operating costs compared to other equipment such as centrifuges.
Capacity and Size:
We offer a wide range of sizes and capacities to suit different sludge volumes and processing requirements.
Maintenance and Cleaning:
They need to be designed to facilitate maintenance and cleaning, so as to ensure prolonged continuous operation.
Pilot Testing Options:
We offer the possibility of pilot testing to evaluate the performance of our equipment with different types of sludge, so you can confirm the performance and operability of the system with those varied types.
