Dewatering screw conveyor for screenings

Optimize your wastewater treatment process with a conveyor solution that effectively dewaters screenings, reducing volume and disposal costs while ensuring seamless integration into your existing system.

Conveys and Dewaters Screenings Efficiently

The Dewatering Screw Conveyor from Bucher Unipektin is engineered for precise dewatering in wastewater treatment and environmental applications. It features a robust screw dewatering mechanism that transports and reduces the volume of screened solids, enhancing solids disposal efficiency. The conveyor handles up to 10 tons per hour with a screw speed of 20 rpm, powered by a 3 kW motor. It is designed for the continuous and automated dewatering of screenings, suitable for municipal and industrial water treatment processes. The equipment supports integration into existing systems, offering separate water drainage for effective flushing water management. Constructed for durability, the conveyor includes a self-cleaning grid that minimizes maintenance efforts. Ideal for recycling and waste management, it is available with corrosion-resistant materials for enhanced lifespan and chemical compatibility.
