Food Processing
Sludge dewatering for the food and beverage industry
Food Industry Sludge
Food processing generates high-strength wastewater with elevated BOD, COD, fats, oils, and grease. The resulting sludge — whether from biological treatment, DAF systems, or chemical precipitation — typically has challenging dewatering characteristics.
Screw press technology is particularly well-suited for food industry applications. The self-cleaning design handles greasy and fibrous sludges without clogging, while the enclosed, low-maintenance operation meets the hygiene and reliability standards required in food production environments.
