Case Studies
Paper Mill Case Study
Dewatering fibrous pulp and paper 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 paper mill produced large volumes of fibrous primary and biological sludge. Fibre content and volume demanded a robust, high-throughput dewatering solution with low maintenance.
The Solution
A large screw press exploited the good drainage of fibrous sludge to achieve strong cake solids at high throughput. Self-cleaning discs prevented fibre blinding, minimising downtime.
Typical Results
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Sludge type | Fibrous primary + biological |
| Cake DS | 20–30% |
| Throughput | High |
