Function
The company’s screw presses are based on a shaftless screw conveyor, which transports the material into the press unit. Material is dewatered in the unit’s perforated dewatering zone. A plug of dewatered material is formed at the outlet end due to the resistance created by the distance between the end of the spiral and the weight-loaded outlet shutter.
The shaftless spiral makes the screw press particularly suitable for materials that tend to stick to, and tangle with, a shaft. Materials with variable particle sizes and irregular shapes can also be transported without problem using shaftless screw conveyors. Shaftless spirals reduce maintenance needs, as they can work filled to a far greater degree in the conveyor.
