Sludge dewatering screw press SEPCOM Biogas Horizontal

Presentation SEPCOM Biogas Horizontal is a horizontal screw press separator for solids-liquid separation. With a compensator hopper tank, a self-adjusting counter-pressure diaphragm and special screw profiles, it treats a range of materials from biogas plants, industrial processes and livestock slurry. The modular SINT engineering polymer screw enables easy adaptation to different materials and applications.

Function The machine comprises a feeding section with compensator tank and overflow hopper. A stainless steel casing houses a screw conveyor and a cylindrical screen basket that conveys and separates solids from the liquid phase passing through the screen. The solid fraction is pushed toward the counter-pressure diaphragm outlet where a material plug forms, enabling automatic operation and preventing the liquid phase from flushing through. The drive unit includes an electric motor and a gear reducer with a splined output shaft directly coupled to the conveyor screw. SEPCOM Biogas Horizontal is specialized for digestate treatment from biogas plants.
