Press screw separator PSS 3.2-780

Product catalog summary

Overview: The FAN Press Screw Separator (PSS) is a versatile machine designed for solid-liquid separation in various industries, including agriculture, biogas, slaughterhouses, food processing, pulp and paper, and plastic recycling. It is capable of handling both thick and thin slurries and is constructed primarily from stainless steel for durability.

Specifications: The PSS can process materials with solid content ranging from 0.1% to 20%. The dryness of the separated solids can be adjusted between 25% and 55% total solids (TS). The machine is designed for high capacity and low power consumption, with models offering capacities from 40 to 350 m3/h depending on the model and application.

Key Features: The PSS includes a patented oscillator unit that enhances performance by inducing oscillating pressure into the liquid. The auger is hard-coated for longevity, and the machine features a self-cleaning screen to prevent clogging. An optional flushing device is available for applications like slaughterhouses to maintain screen cleanliness.

Applications: In agriculture, the PSS is used for manure management, reducing volume, odor, and nutrients, and facilitating irrigation. In biogas and bio-ethanol plants, it aids in solid-liquid separation before and after biological treatment. The food industry uses it for treating various waste streams, while the pulp and paper industry employs it for sludge dewatering and fiber recovery.

Technical Innovations: The PSS features a newly designed inlet housing with a tooth-system to prevent long fibers from causing blockages. Augers can be customized with special coatings for abrasive or acidic materials, and the machine includes adjustable components to handle different material consistencies.

Conclusion: The FAN Press Screw Separator is a robust and efficient solution for diverse separation needs across multiple industries, offering customizable features to enhance performance and longevity.

FAN Press Screw Separator PSS The PSS is fed by pump or gravity from a holding tank. It is also The FAN Press Screw Separator PSS possible to feed the PSS by hopper. The optimal feeding method depends on the raw material consistency and the site conditions. • The FAN PSS can handle thick (20% solids) as well as thin slurries (down to 0.1% solids) • Dryness of the separated solids can be adjusted between 25% and 55% TS (depending on application Inside of the inlet section, an oscillator unit (patented) inducts oscillating pressure into the liquid. This leads to an improved performance and a higher...
