The fixed rings form a static structure whereas the moving rings ensure continuous self-cleaning while the screw is in motion. The gap between the fixed and moving rings varies from 0. However, when the screw is in operation, the size of the gaps changes continuously, thus giving a smooth dewatering process. The filtrate that results from the dewatering process as the flocculated sludge is compressed, flows through these gaps into a collection tray located under the machine.
The filtrate can gravitate from this tray to the head of works or any other suitable location. An adjustable pressure plate is mounted at the end of the screw. This allows the already dewatered sludge to be compressed even more to increase the dewatering efficiency, thus producing dewatered sludge cake. The Dewatering Screw Press machine is made of stainless steel.
The modern screw press overcomes these disadvantages by having the screw surrounded by a screened surface. In other words, the cylinder walls are made into a screened surface. And, instead of a piston, the material is conveyed toward the discharge by a helicoid screw. The best known form of a helicoid screw is a screw conveyor.
Archimedes gets credit for having invented the screw conveyor. It consists of a shaft about which is wound a spiral steel plate, much like a cork screw. The screw conveyor is supported in a trough, and material is admitted to one end of the trough. When the screw is turned, the material is moved to the other end of the trough. This mechanism is used in a range of screw presses. Some screw presses have no openings in the barrels that surround the screw.
Thus the mechanism does not separate liquids from solids. The best known example is a plastic injection molding machine: pellets of plastic are admitted at one end; the barrel surrounding the screw is heated; and molted plastic discharges at the other end and is pushed into the injection molding die.
Another such press is the cooker-extruder which is used to produce pretzels and other snack foods. Flavored bakery dough is admitted at one end of the screw and cooked snack foods are extruded through the other end. Lauren brings a fresh approach to content.

The screens are less susceptible to clogging than the filter media used for other thickening and dewatering processes.
As with all thickening and dewatering processes, the product solids or cake content is dependent on the feedwater sludge quality. The cake solids content has been shown to be inversely proportional to the volatile solids VS of the feed sludge. All comments are moderated and may be edited or deleted at any time.
