As U.S. utilities face rising disposal costs, regulatory tightening, and increased pressure to “Buy American,” many wastewater operators are rethinking how they handle sludge. For a growing number of facilities, the solution is mechanical dewatering — and proudly made in the U.S.
The Rotary Fan Press, designed and manufactured by Prime Solution, is part of a new generation of dewatering equipment that is not only engineered for performance, it is built in America, by American workers.
While traditional dewatering methods can be messy, energy-intensive, or space-consuming, the Rotary Fan Press delivers compact, continuous and low-maintenance performance with high cake solids and minimal operator oversight. Facilities that select or switch to this system report lower hauling costs, cleaner operations, and, perhaps most important, peace of mind — knowing they are supporting domestic jobs and manufacturing.
With tariffs, supply chain instability, and shifting federal funding priorities, more municipal leaders are committing to Build America, Buy America. The Rotary Fan Press is a direct way to align infrastructure upgrades with those values. It’s not just sound engineering, it’s good policy.
Visitors to WEFTEC 2025 can see the Rotary Fan Press in action and talk with engineers and sales professionals from Prime Solution at Booth #6723, Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 in Chicago. Email info@psirotary.com for information about the Prime Solution booth reception on September 30.
