Screw press optimization service

Optimally dewatered pulp, sludge or reject with screw presses

    Perlen PM7 stock preparation
    The screw presses for virgin and recovered pulp applications are installed as key components for stock dewatering, washing processes and water circuit separation processes.

     

    Regular maintenance and servicing is required to ensure that the dewatering performance of your screw press is always optimal. Our service portfolio includes not only the maintenance of fiber screw presses but also various services for reject and sludge screw presses.

      • Reduced outlet consistency or capacity
      • Increased torque, speed or fiber content in filtrate
      • Difficulties to stabilize the process
      • Shaking, plugging, spitting

      Please have a look in our brochure to find all typical signs.

          Upgrades and rebuilds

            InfiltraScrewpress by Voith
            Our upgrades and rebuilds are aimed at adapting capacity, enabling a change of raw material, e. g. to furnish or a different grade, and energetically optimizing the subsequent dispersion system.

             

            Changes in the dispersion requirement in terms of stock quality or energy savings have a direct effect on the screw press. Also raw material changes up to grade changes or capacity adjustments make an optimization of the screw press necessary. For this purpose we have a comprehensive toolbox at our disposal.

            Your benefits with our screw press upgrades and rebuilds

            • Capacity increase
            • Energetically optimization of subsequentdispersion system
            • Adaption to new requirements
            • Change of raw material possible

            FreeFlow for screw presses by Voith
            Upgrade to FreeFlow

            By adapting the flow in the inlet zone thru specifically calculated, designed and positioned openings in the screw flight, a FreeFlow from the stock suspension towards the mid pressure dewatering section is achieved. This eliminates the need to have inlet pressure and increasing capacity up to 10 %, under very stable running conditions.
