Advanced Screw Press Dewatering Technology from GN Solids Control
In today’s environmental and industrial landscape, effective sludge management is essential. Whether in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), industrial waste treatment, mining tailings, or food processing facilities, operators are continuously seeking solutions that combine efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
One of the most advanced and energy-efficient solutions in solid-liquid separation is the Screw Press Sludge Dewatering System, and GN Solids Control has become a leading manufacturer in this field.
How the Screw Press Technology Works
The GN Screw Press is based on a continuous dewatering process that utilizes a rotating screw shaft within a fixed stainless-steel cylindrical screen. As sludge enters the feed zone, it is gradually compressed by the screw’s pitch reduction and the built-in backpressure plate.
This controlled compression gently squeezes water out of the sludge through the fine screen openings, resulting in high solid recovery and a significant reduction in moisture content.
The system integrates automatic polymer dosing, ensuring the flocculated sludge forms strong, filterable flocs that enhance the dewatering performance.
Key Advantages of GN Screw Press Systems
-
Low Energy Consumption: The slow rotational speed of the screw minimizes power usage compared to traditional belt presses or centrifuges.
-
Low Noise and Vibration: Ideal for continuous operation in municipal or industrial environments.
-
Minimal Maintenance: No high-speed bearings or complex hydraulics; all components are durable and easy to service.
-
Compact Design: The modular system saves space and allows easy installation or retrofitting in existing facilities.
-
Automatic Operation: Fully PLC-controlled with remote monitoring capability for unattended operation.
-
Material Options: All major wetted parts are made of SS304 or SS316, ensuring long-term corrosion resistance even under harsh conditions.
Applications Across Industries
GN’s Screw Press Dewatering Systems are widely applied in:
-
