Most wastewater treatment processes generate sludge as a by-product, and its disposal can be expensive. Sludge dewatering offers an effective solution by reducing the moisture content, weight, and volume of sludge, thereby lowering transportation and disposal costs. Efficient dewatering also helps optimize energy, water, chemical, space, and manpower requirements, making it an essential part of modern wastewater treatment operations.
The SBS-Amcon Volute Screw Press is a Japanese-technology, fifth-generation sludge dewatering system designed for continuous, automatic, and clog-resistant operation. Engineered for demanding industrial applications, it efficiently dewaters both biological and chemical sludge across a wide range of incoming solids concentrations, from 2,000 mg/L to 70,000 mg/L. With a dry solids processing capacity ranging from 1.0 kg/h to 1,250 kg/h, the Volute offers reliable performance, ease of operation, and low energy consumption. Its advanced design provides an efficient alternative to conventional sludge dewatering systems, including traditional screw presses.
