Screw Press Dewatering System

 
Itons Screw presses provide an easy to operate and maintain dewatering system. It can be used in the same applications where belt presses, centrifuges, and filter presses have traditionally been used, as well as in more traditional screw press applications such as those in the stillage, sludge, and pulp & paper industry.
 
Dewatering is continuous and is accomplished by gravity drainage at the inlet end of the screw and then by reducing the volume as the material being dewatered is conveyed from the inlet to the discharge end of the screw press. Proper screw design is critical, as different materials require different screw speeds, screw configurations, and screens in order to dewater to a high outlet consistency while maintaining an excellent capture rate.
 
Screw press can be used in an extremely wide variety of liquid-solid separation, or dewatering applications. It provide higher cake solids than competing dewatering equipment while being easier to operate and maintain. Completely engineered skid mounted systems are available in numerous sizes.
