What Is Screw Press Type Solid-Liquid Separator?

JX Filtration August 16, 2024 Presser

A Screw Press Type Solid-Liquid Separator is a machine used to separate solid particles from liquids in a mixture. It operates using a screw mechanism that applies pressure to the mixture, forcing the liquid to pass through a filter or screen while retaining the solid material.

How It Works:

Feed: The mixture of solid and liquid is fed into the machine.
Screw Mechanism: A screw (auger) rotates within a cylindrical screen or filter. As the screw turns, it gradually compresses the mixture.
Separation: The liquid is forced out through the small openings in the screen, while the solid material is moved along by the screw.
Discharge: The separated liquid is collected and directed away from the machine, while the compressed solids are discharged from the end of the screw.

Applications:

Agriculture: For separating manure into liquid fertilizer and solid compost.
Food Processing: To separate pulp from juice, or to extract oil from seeds.
Industrial: In wastewater treatment to remove sludge or separate liquid from industrial byproducts.

This type of separator is valued for its efficiency, low maintenance, and ability to handle a variety of materials with different moisture contents.
