Mono volute screw press is designed to apply three functions into one unit, in which the three zones are conditioning zone, dewatering zone, and thickening zone. It is a sludge dewatering equipment able to run continuously and automatically perform sludge dewatering up to 80% to 85% of moisture content.

The main body of the volute screw press is composed of multiple fixed rings, washers, and moving rings. The screw shaft runs through it to form a filtering device. The front section is the concentration section and the rear section is the dewatering section. Completed together. The volute screw press replaces the traditional filter cloth and centrifugal filtration methods with a unique and delicate filter structure.

Working principle

Concentration: When the screw shaft rotates, the multiple moving and fixed rings(plates) located on the periphery of the screw shaft move relative to each other. Under the action of gravity, water is filtered out from the gap between the relatively moving rings (plates) to achieve fast sewage

Dehydration: The condensed sludge moves upwards and downwards with the rotation of the screw shaft, the pitch of the screw shaft gradually becomes smaller, the gap between the rings gradually becomes smaller, and the space of the spiral cavity also continues to shrink. Below, the internal pressure is gradually increased. With the continuous operation of the screw shaft, the water in the sludge is squeezed and discharged, and the solid content of the filter cake is continuously increased, and the continuous dehydration of the sludge is finally achieved.

Automatic cleaning: The rotation of the screw shaft promotes the continuous rotation of the moving ring. The device relies on the movement between the fixed ring and the moving ring to achieve a continuous self-cleaning process, thereby avoiding the problem of blockages commonly existing in traditional dehydrators.

Applications

• Concentration and dehydration of various sludge in municipal sewage treatment plants
• Industrial wastewater treatment plants (concentration and dewatering of various sludges in papermaking, tanning, textile, mining)
• Disposal of livestock manure in the livestock industry
• Recovery of drilling sludge
• Treatment of waste oil and sludge in refinery
• Treatment of sludge in the food processing industry

Advantages

• Power saving: less than 5% of the centrifuge
• Water-saving: less than 0.1% of belt filter press
  Provincial Medicine: 65% on average
• Save space: save 60% of investment in dehydration room
• Non-clogging: suitable for oily fiber sludge
• Low operating cost: less than 40% of belt filter press, less than 20% of centrifugal dewatering machine
