Screw Press Dewatering Systems: The Countless Applications

In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, businesses are continually seeking innovative solutions to optimize their processes, reduce waste, and enhance sustainability. At French Oil, we take pride in our commitment to delivering cutting-edge technologies that meet our clients’ diverse needs. One such area where our expertise shines, specifically, is in custom screw press dewatering systems.

The Design

At French, our engineers have developed screw press and fiber press designs renowned for their long-lasting durability and decades of exceptional performance. Featuring advanced technology that ensures accurate regulation of discharge moisture, our range includes custom-designed dewatering presses for both virgin and recycled wood pulp. Moreover, you can select from a variety of drive and control systems to find the perfect fit for your specific needs, and our team of skilled French engineers is readily available to guide you in making the optimal choice.

Pulp Dewatering Systems

The French series of LP (low-pressure) pulp dewatering presses are also meticulously designed to deliver unparalleled control over discharge moisture to excel in efficiently separating liquids and solids from moisture-laden fibrous materials. Furthermore, by operating with a feed consistency ranging from 2% to 4% and discharging at 25% to 35%, these presses are available in four primary models: LP-1890, LP-18120, LP-28150, and LP-28200, offering a daily capacity range from 50 to 300 bone-dry metric tons. Select the perfect model that aligns with your application requirements and experience the remarkable engineering prowess of French technology in action.

Screw Press Applications:

Here is a compilation of the most prevalent applications where our premium, tailor-made screw press dewatering systems excel:

Pulp Washing and Bleaching:

The paper industry relies heavily on efficient pulp washing and bleaching processes to produce high-quality paper products. That’s why our custom screw press designs are adept at extracting water and chemicals from pulp, resulting in a cleaner and more refined material. This not only improves the quality of the final paper but also helps in reducing chemical usage and water consumption, making your paper production process more sustainable.

Paper Recycling and De-Inking Operations:

As the world embraces sustainability and environmental consciousness, the demand for recycled paper is on the rise. Our screw presses, for instance, play a crucial role in paper recycling and de-inking operations, as they effectively remove ink, contaminants, and excess water from the recycled paper pulp. By partnering with French Oil for these processes, your paper recycling plant can significantly reduce water usage and energy consumption, contributing to a greener future.

High Consistency Refining of Primary Pulp and Rejects:

Optimizing paper production relies heavily on efficiently refining primary pulp and rejects. That’s why our team of experts engineers our custom screw press designs to handle high-consistency refining effortlessly. By precisely extracting water and fiber from the material, our presses improve the refining process’s efficiency, leading to higher-quality paper products and reduced waste.

Liquid Removal before Pulp Storage and Transport:

To ensure smooth storage and transportation of pulp, it is essential to remove excess liquids effectively. So, our screw press applications excel at precisely this task, reducing the moisture content in pulp to the desired level before storage or transport. This not only improves the handling of pulp but also minimizes the environmental impact of the entire process.

Concentration of Waste Treatment Sludges:

Waste treatment sludges can pose significant challenges to industries, both economically and environmentally. Fortunately, our screw press designs offer an effective solution for concentrating waste treatment sludges. By reducing the moisture content, the volume of waste is minimized, which leads to easier disposal and potential resource recovery.

Excess Water Removal from Various Materials:

Apart from paper-related applications, our screw press designs are versatile enough to handle excess water removal from various materials like corn fiber, corn germ, alfalfa, and more. Furthermore, the ability to efficiently extract moisture from these materials opens up opportunities for multiple industries, including agriculture and biofuel production.
