Pulp and paper screw press separator
Achieve high-efficiency solids-liquid separation in pulp and paper processing with a horizontal screw press designed to handle diverse materials—from biogas plant side streams to livestock slurry—ensuring optimal material recovery and reduced waste management costs.

Separates Solids from Liquids in Various Slurries
The SEPCOM Pulp and Paper Horizontal Screw Press Separator from WAMGROUP is engineered for efficient solids-liquid separation across various industries. Its unique design incorporates a stainless steel screw conveyor and a cylindrical screen basket, ensuring optimal separation of solids from liquids. The self-adjusting counter-pressure diaphragm facilitates automatic operation, preventing liquid flushing and maintaining consistent output.
Ideal for biogas plants, pulp and paper processing, and wastewater facilities, this machine is adept at handling high moisture content materials such as livestock manure and organic household waste, producing end products like recycled paper, organic fertilizers, and bioenergy feedstocks. With a processing capacity of up to 65 m³/h and a maximum dry solids output of 32%, it suits both continuous and semi-automatic operations.
The separator features a modular screw made from anti-wear SINT engineering polymer, promoting cost-effective maintenance and operation. Its durable, self-cleaning screen basket requires minimal upkeep, while various diaphragm and screen basket options allow customization to specific application needs. This versatile unit integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, significantly reducing waste management costs and improving operational efficiency.
