No need to change operational settings even when sludge concentration fluctuates
Sewage treatment plant in Japan
Sewage treatment plant in Japan
This sewage treatment plant was planning to renew its dewatering machine due to aging of the existing centrifuge. The new dewatering machine was required to have a lower running cost than that of the centrifuge, and to maintain a stable dewatering performance despite fluctuations in sludge properties since we know seasonal fluctuations in sludge properties have a significant impact on the moisture content of dewatered cake in the existing dewatering machine.
Plastic bottle recycling plant in Mexico
This recycling plant was using a filter press to dewater sludge, but the amount of sludge increased from the time of the installation. The sludge that exceeded processing capacity was therefore transported as liquid. Since the liquid sludge transportation alone costs the company fifty thousand dollars every month, they were looking for a new dewatering machine capable of handling the whole volume of sludge with a single unit.
Nippoh Chemicals CO.,LTD. (Japan)
Operators had to make frequent check-up and maintenance with the existing belt filter press before introducing the VOLUTE™ Dewatering Press. Sludge condition changed time to time that dilute sludge often spilled over from the side of filter cloth, making operators to clean up machine every three hours.
Coffee manufacturing plant in Thailand
An instant coffee manufacturer in Thailand had dewatered sludge with a filter press. 10 to 20 percent of the coffee beans is oil, which has caused clogging of the filter and trouble to stop the equipment for maintenance.
Manufacturing Plant of Synthetic Fiber Materials in Indonesia
Before installation of VOLUTE™ Dewatering Press, they threw cake into their dryer after dewatering by their belt press . Drain of Synthetic Fibers purified from oil was not suitable for micro-organisms and was low MLSS. In addition , sludge concentration from thickening tank was quite low(6,000mg/L). So, Water content in Sludge cake became 92% by belt press machine. Because of throwing the soft sludge like Tofu, the load was pretty high.
Meat processing factory in Japan
This factory had used multi disc type dewatering equipment for long time; however, they had been facing problems such as aging and lack of throughput of the equipment. Due to a limited space for the dewatering equipment, they were looking for compact dewatering equipment with larger capacity.
Dairy in Japan
Although this factory had been using a belt press in many years, they have replaced it for VOLUTE™ Dewatering Press for aging.
Glass Recycling Factory in Japan
This factory recycles glass and processes them into small pieces which can be used for making glass bottles. Nevertheless, the pieces of glass need to be washed before having been shipped to another factory where the final product will be made and this cleaning water needs to be treated somehow. They had been using a belt press for dewatering sludge generated from their wastewater treatment plant, but because of its age, they started looking for a new sludge dewatering system.
Juice Producer in France
After a successful pilot test has been carried out, AMCON successfully installed one of our biggest models, ES-351 in the Juice factory in France. Although they had been using a belt press until then, they were not satisfied with its performance and they were always looking for an alternative solution for their sludge dewatering until they found VOLUTE™ Dewatering Press.
Komagata Foods Co., Ltd. (Japan)
Komagata Foods Co., Ltd., manufacturing feed for fish cultivation, used to use a belt filter press, but they had always faced clogging problems because of the oily sludge. They also suffered from spillage over from the side of filter cloth, making operators to keep their eyes on the machine all day.
