Description
Mobile Skid-Mounted sludge dewatering system

1.Product Overview
The DAGYEE Mobile Skid-Mounted Sludge Dewatering System is a pre-assembled, fully integrated dewatering solution designed for rapid deployment and temporary applications. Mounted on a rugged steel skid, this system includes all necessary components—flocculation tank, screw press dewatering unit, control panel, and associated piping—in a single transportable package. It offers the flexibility to move between sites and handle varying sludge loads.
2. Working Principle
The system operates on the same proven screw press dewatering principle, with flocculated sludge entering the thickening zone where free water drains through the ring gaps. The sludge then moves to the dewatering zone where increasing pressure squeezes out remaining water. The main difference is that all components are integrated onto a single skid, allowing for fast setup and relocation.
The integrated design includes:
-
Screw press dewatering unit
-
Flocculation tank with sludge mixer
-
Support frame and water outlet tank
-
Electrical control panel
-
Optional odor elimination system
3.Technical Advantages
-
Rapid Installation — Eliminates lengthy on-site construction
-
Cost Effective for Temporary Projects — No permanent facility investment required
-
Easy Relocation — Can be moved between sites as project demands change
-
Minimal Civil Works — No special foundations or concrete pads needed
-
Low Operation Cost — Same energy and water savings as stationary units
-
Fully Automatic — PLC-controlled with touch screen interface

4. Technical Specifications

Each technology has appropriate applications. The selection depends on specific site requirements including sludge characteristics, available labor, energy costs, and budget constraints.
What this means for you:
-
Want the driest cake possible? Get a centrifuge. But budget for power and repairs.
-
Have almost no budget upfront? Get a belt press. But plan for labor and water.
-
Want the lowest total cost and least headache? Get our screw press.

6. Selection & Maintenance
Selection Worksheet
To select the appropriate model, calculate your dry solids production rate.
Step 1: Measure or estimate your sludge flow rate in cubic meters per hour.
Step 2: Measure your inlet solids concentration in percent or grams per liter. One percent solids equals ten grams per liter.
Step 3: Calculate dry solids per hour: Flow rate × Solids concentration × 10 (for grams per liter to kilograms per hour).
Step 4: Multiply by 1.5 to provide margin for variations.
Step 5: Select a model with dry solids capacity exceeding this number.
Example Calculation
Sludge flow: 8 cubic meters per hour
Inlet solids: 2 percent (20 grams per liter)
Dry solids: 8 × 20 = 160 kilograms per hour
With margin: 160 × 1.5 = 240 kilograms per hour
Recommended model: DAG-301 or DAG-302 depending on flow characteristics
Free Laboratory Testing
DAGYEE maintains a pilot-scale test unit for customer sludge samples. The test procedure requires approximately five liters of representative sludge.
The test report includes:
-
Achievable cake solids content
-
Recommended polymer type and dosage
-
Filtrate quality measurements
-
Recommended model based on test results
There is no charge for this service. Shipping costs for the sample are the responsibility of the customer.
Maintenance Planning
The maintenance program for this equipment is substantially simpler than for belt presses or centrifuges.
