Reliable Separation Technology

General Features

Filter Screw Press FSP

Compact filter screw press for separation of all kind of contaminated liquids containing fibers in suspension, e.g. slurry/liquid manure, digestate, distillers wash, vegetable peelings, waste from slaughterhouses, rejects, waste water.

Wide range of applications in agriculture and different industries, like meat processing industry, pulp and paper industry, plastic recycling, wood processing industry, food processing industry.

Filter Screw Press FSP can handle incoming mediums with a solid content of 0.5-15 % TS and achieves a dryness of 25-35 % (in some applications up to 50 % and more) in one step.

Process Description

Reliable Separation Technology

Process Description

Filter Screw Press FSP

Material to be separated is fed via inlet pipe or inlet hopper to the inlet housing of the filter screw press by pump or gravity.

A rotating, dual-pitch press screw auger transports the material into the filter screen where free liquid drains through the screen slots and is discharged from the filter screen housing by pipe.

Solids captured by the screen build up a filter layer on the inner screen surface. The filter layer, which allows the filtering out of particles with a smaller dimension than the slot size of the screen, is constantly moved towards the press screen by the flights of the press screw.

Reliable Separation Technology

Process Description

Filter Screw Press FSP

A solid plug is continually formed, extruded and replaced at the end of the screw flights in the press screen area of the FSP.

Further moisture is removed from the solid plug as it is pressed against the spring-loaded door mechanism of the solid discharge regulator. Liquid drains out through the outlet pipe of the press housing.

Dry solids leave the FSP via the partially open doors of the discharge regulator. The solid plug is constantly renewed by fresh material conveyed by the press screw and the process continues.

Advantages of FSP Stainless Steel Construction

Filter Screw Press FSP

All parts of the machine are made out of Stainless Steel (with the exception of the gearbox and motor housing).

Ensures a long lifecycle of the entire unit even when using highly corrosive materials.

Advantages of FSP Drive Adapter

Filter Screw Press FSP

Drive adapter connects the gearbox to the press screw.

Parallel shaft helical gear motor or parallel shaft helical gear with coupling and motor available.

Gearboxes with IEC or NEMA motor flange allow you to use motor manufacturer of your choice.

High grade and efficient bearing and seal system (incl. axial face seal and grease chamber) guarantees long life time and avoids leakage and water damage.

Strong Press Screw All press screws with strong flights (10mm) over the whole length of the screw auger increased pressing power and longer lifecycle! Press screw coated in special tungsten carbide hard coating for extra strength recoating possible. Screw press is supported at both ends by the drive adapter and shaft cone of the discharge regulator. Exact fitting into the screens and perfect cleaning of inner screen surface.

High Performance / Low Maintenance Filter and Press Screen

Filter Screw Press FSP

Combination of filter screen and press screen adds100mm or 150mm (see model types) to the dewatering area allowing for greater separation.

Filter and press screen are separated from each other by a plastic ring so they do not wear at their faces.

Reliable Separation Technology

High Performance / Low Maintenance FSP Filter and Press Screen

Filter Screw Press

The flights of the press screw end

in this plastic ring, so the solid plug only builds up in the press screen, therefore no pressure in the filter screen. The very strong plug screen is fixed in the press body and resists high pressures. End of the flights not located in the screens, there can be no excessive wear at this position (as known from other separators), plastic ring takes all the wear.

Filter Screw Press FSP

Press housing including mounted press screen and discharge regulator with spring-loaded door mechanism can be quickly opened (4 bolts) and easily moved to the side.

Hence the filter screen and the press screw can be dismantled without removing the solid plug first.

Closing doors of the discharge regulator allow you to start the machine without forming a start-up plug first.

Minimal downtime during service and maintenance.

Lateral opening (DN 200) in the inlet housing gives access to the hub of the screw with no need for disconnecting inlet pipe (for reasons of maintenance and cleaning).

Exchangeable wear plates in the inlet housing provide a parallel intersection from inlet housing into the screen (no step).

Slotted holes in the wear plates prevents rotating of fibrous material with the auger.

Fields of Application

Filter Screw Press FSP

Agriculture and Biogas Plants

The FSP can separate cattle, pig and poultry manure, as well as digestate from biogas plants.

The volume of manure is reduced by 10 30%, depending on the type and TS of manure.

The separated solids are produced at 25 30% dry matter and be easily stored and spread on the fields.

Reliable Separation Technology

Fields of Application Agriculture and Biogas Plants

Filter Screw Press FSP

The separated liquid is reduced in smell, the solid fraction has practically no smell.

The nutrient content of the liquid is reduced, with up to a 20% reduction in Phosphorus.

The separated liquid can be re-used in flushing systems.

The separated liquid does not need to be mixed before application to the fields and by be transported through standard irrigation systems.
