Esmil Corp., a leader in advanced sludge dewatering solutions, proudly offers the MDQ-500 Multi-Disk Screw Press, the largest and most powerful sludge dewatering press available. Designed to meet the demands of large-scale industrial and municipal applications, the MDQ-500 sets a new benchmark for efficiency and reliability in sludge management.
The most important factors influencing the performance of multi-disk screw presses are the diameter of the screw and the length of the drum. The newly designed MDQ-500 features an impressive drum diameter of 20-inch, representing a significant leap in technology compared to previous models. The press improvement process required Esmil engineers to overcome challenges related to maintaining perfect disk flatness, ensuring the drum’s structural integrity, and enhancing the screw’s edge resistance to wear.
Esmil’s engineering team expertly managed these challenges, resulting in a press that provides exceptional performance and durability. These are the key features of the new MDQ-500:
- Enhanced Disk Thickness: The dewatering zone features disks with a thickness of 3.5 mm, which significantly boosts durability and resistance to wear.
- Strengthened FREA-Metal Screw Edge: The edge of the screw is strengthened with a robust layer of FREA-metal, a high-hardness alloy from Japan. For especially abrasive sludge, an additional protective layer of up to 3 mm can be utilized.
- Durable Drum Frame Design: The drum features a single-unit frame, which boosts its strength and improves its ability to resist deformation from high sludge pressures.
The MDQ-500 series offers the highest dewatering capacity among multi-disk screw presses, capable of processing up to 2,700 lbs DS/hr of aerobically stabilized WAS sludge. The hydraulic capacity is up to 90 gpm per drum. A single MDQ-500 unit can be equipped with up to six dewatering drums, making it ideal for large-scale operations. Additionally, this press is suitable for use in containerized dewatering plants, providing flexibility for mobile or temporary installations.
When analyzing dewatering presses, it is essential to take into account the diameter and length of the drum, as these factors directly influence the sludge processing capacity. Additionally, the rigidity of the drum frame, the thickness of the protective layer on the screw, the flatness of the rings, and the efficiency of the automation system in preventing overloads are all fundamental elements that contribute to the reliability and longevity of the equipment.
The MDQ-500 Multi-Disk Screw Press shows Esmil Corp.’s commitment to quality and innovation, providing excellent sludge dewatering for various uses. Whether used in a permanent location or a mobile container unit, this press is a strong and efficient choice for managing high levels of sludge.
