A screw press is a piece of equipment commonly used in industrial production and agriculture to separate liquid and solid components from materials. It separates the liquid in the material through mechanical pressure, so as to realize the dehydration process. This kind of equipment usually adopts a spiral structure, hence the name screw press.
introduction
As an important separation equipment, screw press plays an indispensable role in many industries. Its appearance has greatly improved the efficiency of material dehydration, and has the advantages of simple operation, energy saving and high efficiency. This article will introduce the working principle, structural characteristics and application fields of the screw press dehydrator, hoping that readers can have a deeper understanding of the equipment.
working principle
The screw press mainly relies on the screw blades on the screw shaft to propel the material, and gradually increases the screw pitch during the process of propulsion, thus forming a gradually enlarged pressing chamber. When the material enters the press cavity through the screw shaft, the material is forced to move forward due to the action of the screw blade, and a high-pressure area is formed in the cavity.
In the high-pressure area, the liquid components in the material will be subjected to greater pressure and thus be discharged through the filter holes in the wall of the spiral chamber. The solid component maintains a relatively stable state in the high-pressure region due to its own compression resistance. When the material continues to advance and enters the tail of the press chamber, the screw pitch decreases, and the press chamber gradually becomes shallower, forming a smaller pressure area. In this area, the remaining liquid is squeezed out further, while the solid components are gradually pushed out of the outlet of the device.
Structural features
The structure of the screw press mainly includes the inlet, the screw shaft, the screw blade, the pressing chamber, the discharge port and other parts. Among them, the screw shaft is the most important part of the equipment, which drives the screw blade to rotate and pushes the material forward. The shape and size of the pressing chamber can be adjusted according to different material characteristics to obtain better dehydration effect. The equipment is usually made of high-quality stainless steel to ensure the corrosion resistance and stability of the equipment.
Application field
Screw presses are widely used in industrial production and agricultural fields, and their main applications include but not limited to the following aspects:
4.1 Industrial wastewater treatment: A large amount of wastewater is produced in the process of industrial production, which contains many solid particles and suspended solids. The screw press can efficiently separate solids and liquids in wastewater, reduce wastewater discharge, and meet environmental protection requirements.
4.2 Mine tailings treatment: After the mine extracts ore, a large amount of tailings will be produced, which contains water and a certain proportion of solid slag. Through the screw press dehydrator, the water content of the tailings can be reduced, and the cost of storage and treatment can be reduced.
4.3 Food processing: In the process of food processing, the screw press can be used for dehydration of vegetables, fruits and other materials to improve the efficiency and quality of food processing.
4.4 Sludge treatment: A large amount of sludge will be generated after urban sewage treatment, and the water in the sludge can be removed by a screw press to reduce the volume of the sludge, which is convenient for subsequent treatment and disposal.
Summarize
As a common separation equipment, screw press plays an important role in industry and agriculture. Its working principle is simple and efficient, and its structure is reasonable and practical. It is widely used in wastewater treatment, tailings treatment, food processing, sludge treatment and other fields. With the continuous development of science and technology, the screw press will continue to be improved and innovated in the future to better meet people's needs for environmental protection and efficient production.
