Sludge Dewatering Machine

Screw Press Sludge Dewatering Machine

The spiral stacker (screw stack sludge dewatering machine) is a new type of solid-liquid separation equipment. It utilizes the screw extrusion principle, precise coordination between fixed and movable rings, and a step-by-step pressurization design on the spiral shaft to achieve integrated sludge concentration and dewatering.

    Product Introduction

    Its core structure comprises a concentration section and a dewatering section. The spiral pushes the sludge, gradually compressing it. The filtrate is discharged through the gaps between the rings, ultimately forming a low-moisture sludge cake. The device operates stably, requiring no filter cloth or centrifugal device, making it suitable for continuous, automated operations.

    Efficient Dehydration, Energy Saving and Consumption Reduction

    The low-speed screw shaft (2-4 rpm) consumes only one-third of the power of traditional equipment, reducing sludge moisture content from 99% to below 80%, significantly reducing sludge volume.

    The self-cleaning filter slot design eliminates the need for frequent flushing and saves up to 70% water.

    Fully Automatic Operation, Easy Maintenance

    The integrated electronic control system supports 24/7 unattended operation.

    Simple operation requires only regular lubrication and component inspection, reducing maintenance costs by 50%.

    The modular stainless steel construction means only the screw shaft and the running ring require replacement, resulting in a lifespan of over five years.

    Main Applications

    Municipal Environmental Protection

    Dewatering activated sludge from sewage treatment plants to reduce transportation and landfill costs.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Our popular products include: vehicle-mounted sludge solidification units, diaphragm filter presses, sludge dewatering machines, as well as engineering design and installation services for municipal sludge and sand-washing sludge treatment.

    How to choose the right filter press model based on material properties?

    Selecting a filter press model depends on key material properties: particle size (to determine filter cloth mesh), viscosity (affects required pressure), corrosiveness (dictates filter plate material, e.g., PP for mild corrosion, stainless steel for strong), and solid content (influences filtration area and cycle time). High-solids materials need larger filtration areas, while abrasive materials require wear-resistant plates. Match pressure ratings to material viscosity—thicker slurries need higher pressure (1.0–2.5 MPa) for effective dewatering.

    What to do if filter plates leak?

    First, stop operation and check:

    1. Filter cloths: Replace damaged or misaligned cloths that disrupt sealing.
    2. Filter plate seals: Inspect for cracks, wear, or debris; clean seals or replace plates if damaged.
    3. Pressure imbalance: Ensure uniform pressure across plates (adjust hydraulic system if uneven).
    4. Plate alignment: Realign plates if shifted during operation. Test with low pressure after fixes to confirm leaks are resolved.
    Do filter cloths need regular replacement? How often?

    Yes, filter cloths require regular replacement as they clog, tear, or degrade over time, reducing filtration efficiency. Frequency depends on material: 4–8 weeks for abrasive/viscous materials (e.g., mining slurries); 3–6 months for less harsh materials (e.g., food-grade liquids). Signs to replace early: slower filtration, increased pressure, or visible damage (holes, fraying).

    Is installation and operation training provided after purchase?

    We offer installation and operation training post-purchase. This typically includes on-site installation guidance, hands-on operation training (e.g., setting parameters, troubleshooting), and documentation (manuals, video tutorials). Some provide follow-up support for 1–3 months to ensure operators master key functions, especially for automated or custom models.

    If the power supply is not the issue, how to fix the machine tripping and shutting down?

    Check these common causes:

    1. Overload: Motor may be overworked (e.g., excessive slurry feed); reduce load or inspect for jammed components (e.g., filter plate movement).
    2. Faulty sensors: Pressure or temperature sensors may trigger safety shutdowns; calibrate or replace malfunctioning sensors.
    3. Hydraulic system issues: Low oil level or clogged filters can cause pressure spikes; check fluid levels and clean/replace filters.
    4. Electrical connections: Loose wires in control panels may interrupt power; tighten connections and inspect for short circuits.
