International technology group Andritz has expanded its screw press range to meet the dewatering needs of wastewater or industrial treatment plants and will present it during WEFTEC at New Orleans Oct. 8-12.

The Andritz C-Press screw press provides high performance combined with compact design, and a low operating cost in the sludge dewatering process. With its direct drive system and conical shaft with constant screw pitch, the C-Press has a feed capacity ranging from 4 to 418 gpm, with an outlet capacity from 44 to 2,866 lbs/h. 

In addition to a long life cycle, the press also offers easy operation, low maintenance and reduced water consumption. The screw speed is automatically adjusted according to the input oscillation, ensuring a continuous flow with optimized performance in drying and capture rate, even during the washing phases. The C-press complies with all regulations on such issues as safety, hygiene and environmental protection.

With a high- performance system, the C-Press maximizes the basket's open area, featuring high specific capacity and excellent capture rate. The screw speed is automatically adjusted, according to the input oscillation, ensuring a continuous flow with optimized performance in terms of drying and capture rate, even during the washing phases. 

“The equipment offers low consumption of water for washing,” says Andritz National Sales manager Bruce SoRelle. “We do not need to stop the sludge feed to carry out washings, so we operate continuously with greater productivity.”

Andritz will attend WEFTEC at Booth 2037.
