Case Studies

Dairy Case Study

Reliable dewatering of dairy biological and DAF sludge

Representative Project Profile

The following describes a representative application scenario for a screw press in this sector, based on typical process data and equipment configurations. It illustrates how a solution is scoped — final performance is always confirmed with your actual sludge.

The Challenge

A dairy plant needed to dewater biological and DAF sludge rich in fats and proteins, with strict hygiene and odour requirements and limited operator availability.

The Solution

An enclosed screw press with automatic operation contained odours and ran unattended between shifts. Self-cleaning discs handled the fatty sludge without frequent intervention.
