Description
Technical Parameters

The On-Site Sludge Dewatering Machine is a continuous solid-liquid separation system engineered for industrial and municipal wastewater treatment. By integrating gravity thickening and multi-disk screw extrusion, the unit reduces sludge volume by up to 80%–90%, directly lowering hauling and disposal costs. Designed for seamless integration into existing plant layouts, it operates reliably with minimal operator supervision.

 

Key Performance Snapshot:

  • Volume Reduction: 80%–90% reduction in sludge volume
  • Solid Recovery Rate: ≥ 95% solid capture efficiency
  • Operation Mode: Fully automated 24/7 continuous operation

 

 

Key Features

 

Anti-Clogging Design: Movable and fixed rings replace traditional filter cloth, preventing blinding and reducing wash water consumption by up to 85%.


Low-Speed Operation: Operates at 2–4 RPM, resulting in low mechanical vibration, minimal noise emission, and extended service life of internal components.


Compact Footprint: Combines thickening and dewatering zones into a single skid-mounted frame, requiring minimal vertical and horizontal installation space.


Continuous Auto-Operation: PLC-controlled integration enables unattended 24/7 operation with automatic polymer dosing and sludge feeding regulation.


Corrosion-Resistant Contact Parts: All wetted structural components utilize AISI 304 / 316L stainless steel, ensuring durability in aggressive chemical environments.

FAQ

 

Q: What is the typical lifespan of the filter rings and screw shaft?

A: Under standard municipal and industrial operating conditions with routine maintenance, internal filter rings and the screw shaft last 5 to 8 years before requiring overhaul.

Q: How does this machine handle oily or greasy sludge?

A: The self-cleaning ring design prevents grease from blinding the filtration gaps. Pre-degreasing or warm water flushing ports can be integrated for high-fat food processing applications.

Q: What polymer type and dosage are required?

A: Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM) is standard. Dosage typically ranges from 3 to 5 kg per ton of dry solid, verified through bench-scale jar testing.

Q: Can the unit operate outdoors?

A: Standard units are rated for semi-outdoor installation (under a roof). Fully weatherized, insulated enclosures with freeze protection are available upon request.

Q: What utilities are required on-site?

A: Three-phase industrial power (380V/415V/480V, 50Hz/60Hz), an industrial water supply for cleaning cycles, and a compressed air line (optional, model-dependent).

Q: What is the standard manufacturing lead time?

A: Standard configurations ship within 4 to 6 weeks. Custom-engineered or explosion-proof units require 8 to 10 weeks.
