Horizontal screw press separators for biogas plants
Achieve efficient solids-liquid separation with continuous operation, ideal for transforming waste into valuable resources like organic fertilizers and biogas feedstock. This technology enhances waste management by compressing and conveying materials with high-performance precision.

Separates Solids from Liquids in Waste Streams
The SEPCOM Horizontal Screw Press Separator from WAMGROUP is designed to enhance waste processing efficiency in renewable energy and environmental sectors. Utilizing a robust screw conveyor mechanism, it achieves high-efficiency separation of solids and liquids through a combination of mechanical compression and gravity. With its SINT engineering polymer components, it offers durability and resistance to wear, making it ideal for continuous and automatic operations in biogas plants and wastewater treatment facilities. The unit effectively handles applications ranging from biogas digestate to agricultural and industrial sludge, producing valuable outputs like fiber-rich soil amendments and nutrient-rich liquid fertilizers. Key features include a self-cleaning screen that reduces maintenance downtime and customizable options for diaphragm outlets and screw types, ensuring adaptability to specific operational needs. The SEPCOM is constructed with stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance, and its integration capabilities allow seamless incorporation into existing production lines.
