DEWATERING SCREW PRESSES

Screw presses are used to dewater materials of different consistencies. The purpose of dewatering varies according to the material:

• Improve the material behaviour for further processing
• Improve storage life / conservation of the material
• Reduce weight and / or volume in order to reduce transportation or dumping costs
• Increase gross calorific value

Vetter screw presses are used to dewater various materials in different industries, such as corn husks, corn germs and wheat gluten, brewery spent grains, spent coffee grounds (extracted), potato pulp, residues of various vegetables and fruits, barley mash, compost, organic waste, reject sludge, ensilage material (grass, rye, corn) and many more.
