Data-Driven Sludge Dewatering Built Around Your Process

Effective industrial sludge dewatering reduces disposal costs, improves operational efficiency, and supports environmental compliance. We deliver advanced sludge thickening and dewatering systems across the UK, Ireland and beyond, helping facilities minimise waste volume and control long-term operating costs.

Our VOLUTE™ screw press technology provides reliable, low-speed dewatering with consistent performance and lower lifecycle energy demand — maximising sludge cake dryness and solids retention.

Unlike generic suppliers, we take a data-driven, site-specific approach. Through laboratory sludge testing, we provide accurate performance forecasts including:

Expected sludge cake dryness
Filtrate quality and solids retention
Flocculant optimisation
Energy usage projections

This ensures your sludge dewatering system is engineered around your exact sludge characteristics, delivering efficiency, stability, and predictable costs.

Why a Volute Disc Screw Press for Sludge Dewatering?

Cost-Effective Sludge Dewatering

The screws inside the cylinder of the VOLUTE™ rotate at a very low speed – approximately 2 to 4 rpm – and consume very little energy. It reduces the power consumption in kWh per ton of dry solids by up to 90% in comparison with a centrifugal dewatering machine.

Low Noise Levels for Safe Working

A centrifuge is a device that operates noise level can go up to 100 to 120 dB with the VOLUTE™ range oise and vibrations are almost negligible, ranging from around 60 to 70 dB. When the screw press is running, at no stage of its operation does it make more noise than two people having a conversation.

Water-Saving Design

VOLUTE™ screw presses use the moving rings to create a unique self-cleaning mechanism to keep the filter element clean and “open”, whereas competing technologies use large amounts of (pressurised) rinsing water for this purpose. That explains the major savings in rinsing water consumption that VOLUTE™ offers.

Compared to a belt press and a centrifugal dewatering machine with the same throughput, a VOLUTE™ uses 90 to 95% less rinsing water.
