Description
The SD sludge press is a specialized device engineered for dewatering sludge from both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment processes. It is designed to achieve a sludge dryness level ranging from 18 to 25%.
In this system, sludge is propelled through wedge-wire drums by a conveying screw. A key phase of the dewatering process involves the flocculated sludge losing water as it progresses through the system. This dehydration is facilitated by the gradual reduction in the volume of the chamber, a result of the unique conical shape of the spiral shaft and the variation in the spiral pitch.
An integral part of the SD sludge press is its cleaning system, which operates both inside and outside the drums. This system is crucial for maintaining the cleanliness and efficiency of the wedge wire, ensuring consistent performance.
The main advantages of the SD sludge press include:
- Excellent value for money, particularly when compared to other dewatering systems.
- Extremely simple installation and operation, making it user-friendly and easy to integrate into existing processes.
- Very simple maintenance requirements, reducing downtime and operational costs.
In typical installation and operational scenarios, maintenance primarily involves the replacement of brushes, which is generally required after 2 years of use. This straightforward maintenance procedure ensures the long-term reliability and efficiency of the sludge press.
