Dewatering Equipment
Equipment for dewatering residues and sludge.
Rotary Press
Be it municipal or industrial wastewater treatment, the Fournier Rotary Press represents a revolutionary change in sludge dewatering. The rotary press is at the heart of the dewatering process, completed by sludge and polymer feed systems.
The principle of operation is simple, sludge is fed into a rectangular channel, and rotated between two parallel revolving stainless steel chrome plated screens. The filtrate passes through the screens as the flocculated sludge advances within the channel. The sludge continues to dewater as it travels around the channel, eventually forming a cake near the outlet side of the press. The frictional force of the slow moving screens, coupled with the controlled outlet restriction, results in the extrusion of a very dry cake.
