Screw press separator for biogas digestate treatment
Optimize your biogas plant’s efficiency with a robust solution for separating solids from liquids in digestate, ensuring maximum resource recovery and streamlined waste processing.

Separates Liquid and Solids for Biogas Production
The SEPCOM Biogas Horizontal Screw Press Separator from WAMGROUP is an innovative solution for separating solids and liquids in biogas production and industrial waste processing. Its unique design includes a compensator hopper tank and a self-adjusting counter-pressure diaphragm, enabling efficient separation of materials such as digestate, sludge, and manure. This equipment processes a diverse range of materials, producing high dry solids content for applications like composting, fertilization, and renewable energy. Capable of handling up to 65 m³/h, it operates continuously with mechanically compressed separation. The system features a durable, self-cleaning SINT engineering polymer screw and screen, which ensures minimal energy use and reduces maintenance costs. Stainless steel construction offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for diverse industrial environments. For seamless integration, it offers customization options like various screw types and screen basket sizes to suit specific operational needs.
