DAGYEE Screw Press Sludge Dewatering Equipment
Why Choose DAGYEE Screw Press?
Managing sludge disposal is one of the biggest operational challenges for wastewater treatment plants and industrial facilities. Traditional dewatering methods often come with high energy bills, constant clogging issues, and intensive manual labor.
The DAGYEE screw press sludge dewatering equipment offers a smarter alternative. Engineered with a patented moving ring design, this machine delivers consistent performance, minimal maintenance, and exceptional solids capture—all in a compact footprint that fits where other equipment won't.
Whether you're treating municipal biosolids, food processing waste, or industrial effluent, the DAGYEE screw press is built to handle the toughest applications with ease.

2. Working Principle
Dewatering Stage: The screw shaft rotates slowly, pushing sludge forward. As the chamber volume decreases, pressure builds, forcing water out through the gaps between moving and fixed rings while solids form a cake and discharge.
Self-Cleaning Stage: As the screw rotates, relative motion between moving and fixed rings automatically cleans the filter gaps, preventing clogging without frequent manual cleaning.

3. Key Advantages
- No Clogging: Self-cleaning action between moving and fixed rings eliminates clogging issues
- Low Energy: Only 2-5 rpm, consuming 1/3 the energy of Belt filter presses
- Fully Automatic: PLC control with programmable cycles, unattended operation
- Compact Footprint: 50% smaller than belt filter presses
- Low Water Consumption: Only 24-216 liters per hour for cleaning
- Wide Application: Handles low-concentration sludge (≥2000mg/L), no thickening tank needed
- Long Service Life: SUS304 stainless steel, corrosion-resistant, designed for 10+ years

6. Selection & Maintenance
Selection Guide:
- Lower inlet concentration requires larger capacity models
- Higher concentration (>20g/L) allows smaller models
- For uncertain sludge types, provide samples for lab testing
Selection Reference:
- <120 kg-DS/day: DL101 / DL131
- 120-300 kg-DS/day: DL202
- 300-800 kg-DS/day: DL301 / DL302
- 800-1500 kg-DS/day: DL302 / DL303
- 1500 kg-DS/day: DL352 / DL403 or multiple units in parallel

Daily Maintenance:
- Daily: Check motor current, operating sound, discharge effect
- After each shift: Rinse with clean water to prevent sludge drying
- Monthly: Lubricate bearings and gearbox
- Quarterly: Inspect ring stacks and screw shaft wear
- Annually: Full disassembly inspection and replacement of wear parts

8.Installation & Operation
Simple Installation
The DAGYEE screw press arrives fully assembled on a structural steel skid. All components—including the screw press, flocculation tank, control panel, and piping—are pre-mounted and wired. Installation requires only connecting power, feed, and discharge lines.
User-Friendly Operation
The PLC-based control system features a clear HMI touchscreen that displays real-time operating parameters. Operators can:
-
Set automatic start/stop cycles
-
Adjust screw speed to match sludge characteristics
-
Monitor motor load and alarm conditions
-
View historical performance data
Low Maintenance
With no complex filter belts to replace and no high-speed rotating parts, maintenance requirements are minimal:
-
Monthly lubrication of bearings
-
Quarterly inspection of ring stack wear
-
Annual drive unit service
