Esmil Corp., a leader in advanced sludge dewatering solutions, proudly offers the MDQ-500 Multi-Disk Screw Press, the largest and most powerful sludge dewatering press available. Designed to meet the demands of large-scale industrial and municipal applications, the MDQ-500 sets a new benchmark for efficiency and reliability in sludge management.

Multi-disk screw presses rely on the screw diameter and drum length to achieve optimal performance. The MDQ-500, with its impressive 500 mm drum diameter, represents a significant advancement over previous models. The press's development involved overcoming challenges related to maintaining perfect disk flatness, ensuring the drum’s structural integrity, and enhancing the screw's edge resistance to wear.

Esmil's engineering team successfully addressed these challenges, delivering a press that offers superior performance and longevity. Key features of the MDQ-500 include:

• Thicker disks: The dewatering zone is equipped with disks that are 3.5 mm thick, providing increased durability and resistance to wear.
• FREA-metal screw edge: The screw edge is reinforced with a thick protective layer of FREA-metal, a high-hardness Japanese alloy. For particularly abrasive sludge, up to 3 mm protective layer thickness is available.
• Robust drum frame: The drum's single-unit frame design enhances strength and resistance to deformation under high sludge pressures.

The MDQ-500 series offers the highest dewatering capacity among multi-disk screw presses, capable of processing up to 2,700 pounds DS/hr of aerobically stabilized WAS sludge. The hydraulic capacity is up to 90 gpm per drum. A single MDQ-500 unit can be equipped with up to six dewatering drums, making it ideal for large-scale operations. Additionally, this press is suitable for use in containerized dewatering plants, providing flexibility for mobile or temporary installations.

When evaluating dewatering presses, it's crucial to consider the drum's diameter and length, as these parameters determine the sludge processing capacity. Moreover, the rigidity of the drum’s frame, the thickness of the screw’s protective layer, the flatness of the rings, and the effectiveness of the automation system in preventing overloads all play critical roles in the equipment’s reliability and lifespan.

The MDQ-500 Multi-Disk Screw Press is a testament to Esmil Corp.'s dedication to innovation and excellence, offering unmatched sludge dewatering performance for a variety of applications. Whether installed in a permanent facility or a containerized plant, this press provides a robust and efficient solution for managing large volumes of solids.
