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.
Typical Results
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Sludge type | Dairy biological + DAF |
| Cake DS | 17–21% |
| Operation | Enclosed, automatic |
