Meat Processing
Screw press dewatering of meat processing wastewater sludge
Dewatering Meat Processing Sludge
Meat processing plants produce effluent laden with fats, oils, grease and protein, generating a heavy DAF float that is notoriously difficult to dewater. The screw press copes with this greasy sludge because its slow-turning screw and self-cleaning gaps resist blinding and blockage.
The fully enclosed housing contains the strong odours typical of this sector, and stainless-steel construction meets food-industry hygiene expectations.
Typical Sludge & Process Parameters
| Parameter | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Sludge type | DAF float + biological |
| Feed concentration | 2–6% DS |
| Cake solids | 16–24% DS |
| Key challenge | FOG content and odour |
