OPTIMUM-CVROTARY PRESSDEWATERING...Municipal and IndustrialWaste Water Applications

THE FOURNIERPRESS TECHNOLOGYThe FOURNIER PRESS is in the forefront of municipaland industrial sludge dewatering technology.The principle of operation is simple. Sludge is fed intoa rectangular channel, and rotates between two parallelrevolving stainless steel chrome plated screens. Thefiltrate passes through the screens as the flocculatedsludge advances within the channel. The sludge continuesto dewater as it travels around the channel, eventuallyforming a cake near the outlet side of the press.The frictional force of the slow moving screens, coupledwith the controlled outlet restriction, results in theextrusion of a very dry cake.The benefits derived from using the FOURNIER ROTARYPRESS have been well documented and are translatedinto huge savings for the customer by meansof performance, operation and maintenance.

HOWIT WORKS...Sludge is fed at low pressure into a space betweentwo parallel filtering elements.As the free water comes away from the sludge,solids accumulate in the channel until enough pressureis generated against the outlet gate.The filtering element’s slow speed rotation generatesenough back pressure to dewater the remainingsolids and extrude a dry cake.Low maintenance, low power consumption and reducedpolymer usage translate into lower operating costs.Principle of operationSLUDGESEALCOVERSTATIC MECHANICAL COMPONENTROTATING MECHANICAL COMPONENTDEWATERING SLUDGE (CAKE)FILTRATE FLOWSCREENCAKE FORMATIONINTERIOR OFCHANNELOUTLET FORFILTRATEASLUDGEFEEDFILTRATE FILTRATE RESTRICTION ZONEACAKEEXTRUSION
