Selecting a screw press is a highly technical decision, with its core performance and long-term operating costs embedded in key technical parameters. Understanding these parameters helps you identify truly efficient, stable, and cost-effective equipment from a wide range of products.
Primary Core: Processing Capacity and Dryness
Processing capacity (typically expressed as the hourly output of dry sludge or wet sludge volume) is a fundamental parameter. However, note that rated values are often theoretical figures under ideal conditions. Actual throughput is significantly influenced by sludge properties (e.g., concentration, viscosity, composition). Closely related is the final sludge moisture content (or dryness), which directly determines sludge reduction effectiveness and subsequent disposal costs. An excellent machine should deliver stable, low moisture content while maintaining processing capacity.
Energy Consumption and Operating Costs: Drive Power and Rinse Water Consumption
As a continuously operating machine, energy consumption represents a major long-term operational cost. Key considerations include the main drive motor's power rating and variable frequency drive configuration, which affect the equipment's adaptability to varying sludge loads and energy-saving capabilities. Additionally, the self-cleaning of filter screens requires rinse water. Rinse water pressure, cleaning frequency, and water consumption per cycle are crucial indicators for evaluating operational economics and environmental adaptability.
Structural Durability: Materials and Design Details
Equipment longevity determines maintenance frequency and lifecycle. Key parameters include:
Main Body Material: Typically 304 or 316 stainless steel, affecting corrosion resistance.
Screw Shaft and Filter Plates: Material (e.g., wear-resistant alloy coating), machining precision, and clearance design directly impact wear resistance and long-term dewatering performance.
Bearings and Transmission Components: Design lifespan and sealing performance determine whether the equipment can operate stably over the long term without significant leakage.
Adaptability Parameters: Adjustment Range and Automation Level
An excellent screw press should demonstrate strong adaptability to operating conditions. Key considerations include backpressure adjustment range (directly affecting dryness), processing capacity adjustment capability, and automation control level. Equipment featuring intelligent control systems (e.g., automatically adjusting operating parameters based on sludge load) significantly reduces operational complexity and ensures optimal performance under varying feed conditions.
As a manufacturer with an independent R&D system and physical production facilities, Jiangsu Longdai Environmental Protection Group Co., Ltd. delivers value beyond merely providing standard equipment specifications. Leveraging project experience across multiple export markets, we integrate these abstract parameters with your actual operating conditions to recommend the most suitable, cost-effective solutions across the entire lifecycle. This ensures equipment specifications reliably translate from paper specifications into on-site performance.
