    Screw extruder for sediment dewatering in stacks

    Product Review:

    Screw extruder for sediment dewatering in stacks is a type of dewatering machine capable of cost reduction at sewage plant construction.

    Several automatic filter grid sets are implemented into the unit, which replace traditional sieve filtration. Self-cleaning filter technology ensures continuous and stable separation of sediment from water.
    Powerful squeezing force resulting from changing the screw diameter and pitch, as well as small clearances between the rotating and static rings, results in efficient sediment dewatering. It is a new type of equipment for separation of solids and liquids.

    Design Principle:

    Main housing of dewatering equipment consists of static and travelling rings mounted on one another. A spiral shaft passes through them and forms a filter. The forward section is the concentrator area, and the rear section is the dewatering area. The clearance between the static and moving filter rings and the pitch of spiral shaft increases gradually, moving the sediment from the concentration area to the dewatering area. While the spiral shaft rotates and delivers the sediment from the concentration area to the dewatering area, it keeps the travelling rings in constant motion, thereby cleaning the filter clearance and preventing fouling.

    Following gravity flow in concentration area, the sludge is moved to the dewatering area. Through the process, as the clearances between the filters and the filtration pitch gradually decrease, and due to the blocking effect of the back pressure plate, there is significant internal pressure on the sediment, reducing its volume for sufficient dewatering.

    Product Advantages

    System engineering takes into account the sludge morphology at your specific facility. High-precision assembly of the screw pair prevents jamming and premature wear. ASMEX PETROCHEM technological solutions ensure maximum water extraction with minimal reagent costs, guaranteeing the achievement of target moisture levels.

    FAQ

    What is the main advantage of stack dewatering compared to centrifuges?

    Screw technology consumes significantly less electricity and does not require a complex foundation. The process occurs through the gradual compression of the sludge by the screw flights, producing a dry cake with minimal noise. This is an ideal solution for medium-sized treatment facilities in Uzbekistan, where resource conservation and ease of maintenance are important.

    How is clogging of the filter rings prevented when handling greasy wastewater?

    The drum design consists of moving and fixed rings that continuously clean each other as the screw rotates. This eliminates the need for flushing with large amounts of water and prevents clogging of the gaps, even when handling wastewater from food or textile industries. Automatic self-cleaning maintains stable performance 24/7.

    Is it possible to adjust the moisture content of the discharged sludge?

    Yes, the cake moisture content is controlled by varying the screw speed and adjusting the outlet pressure plate. This allows the machine to be adapted to various sludge types, from excess activated sludge to heavy industrial sediments. The resulting product is ready for transportation and disposal, reducing logistics costs.
