The screw press is a machine used for dewatering sludge from industrial or water purification processes.
It works by means of a worm screw system that gradually compresses the sludge inside a cylindrical chamber. During the movement of the screw, excess water is expelled through filters or screens, leaving the compressed solids behind and thus reducing the volume of the material.
The compact design and energy efficiency make the screw press ideal for applications where significant volume reduction is required.
It is particularly suitable for sludge with high liquid content and can operate continuously with low maintenance. Its versatility allows it to be used in various sectors.
