Sludgecleaner STRAINPRESS®

Manufacturer: Huber Technologies

Coarse material separator for municipal and industrial sludge and process water
 Screening, dewatering and discharge in one working process
 Continuous coarse material separation under pressure
The STRAINPRESS® is a horizontal pipe-shaped coarse material separator which consists of inlet and driving zone, screening and press zone and finally a discharge section with a conical pressure regulating device. The coarse material is separated continuously under pressure and periodical cleaning of the screening zone by backwashing is not required.

THE ADVANTAGES OF THE HUBER SLUDGECLEANER STRAINPRESS®
 The STRAINPRESS® system can be integrated in a closed pipeline system.
 Screening, dewatering and transport of the coarse material in one operation.
 No second pump is required for the screened sludge owing to the closed and compact in-line system.
 Continuous coarse material separation under pressure with a loss of pressure between 0.4 and 0.6 bar
 Washing off sludge or backwashing is not necessary.
 The horizontally moveable screw can be re-adjusted to ensure continuously perfect screen cleaning.
 Fully-automatic continuous or intermittent operation.
 Little space required, easy subsequent installation into the pipeline.
 Insensitive to varying feed volumes or coarse material structures
 The automatic pressure requlating conus ensures uniform dewatering even with strongly varying coarse material quality and concentration.
 When handling sludges with heavily varying DS and coarse material content, the pressing screw starts to work in dependence of the operating pressure (filter cake resistance).

Key features:
 Coarse material screening and dewatering to approx. 45 % DS content
 Closed pipework system
 Pressure-fed system (in-line) for any type of sludge including viscous and grease containing sludge
 Reduces plant operation and maintenance costs and increases the operating reliability of downstream sludge treatment systems, such as thickening, digestion, dewatering, hygienisation, drying, etc.
 Perforations of 0.4 to 10 mm for solids/liquid separation also in industrial applications
 Throughput capacity of up to 110 m³/h for sludge, up to 200 m³/h for process water
 Reliable perforated plate cleaning without the need for any external water and without brushes, no back flushing required
 Automatic pressure cone system for maximum dewatering efficiency
 More than 1,000 installations worldwide
