PLT Series Presses
Method Of Operation
The PLT press utilizes a shaftless spiral to transport solids. The spiral axis is aligned in an upward slope, typically in a range 5° - 35°angle.
The solids are fed into a receiving hopper where free liquid is removed through a drainage zone screen. The spiral draws solids along a transport section. At the end of the transport section solids are forced into a screen cylinder for compaction and extraction of water. An active shower cycle with a special selection of nozzles is applied over the outside surface of the screen cylinder. After compacting the solids plug is broken up and discharged by gravity through a chute.
During the transport and compaction process the solids are washed. A small fraction of the shower water flows down the transport tube counter current to the solids creating a sluice box effect. In the compaction zone, solids fines and waste effluent are flushed away with fresh water during active showering and compaction.
Application:
The PLT press is available in a variety of sizes with screws ranging from 8 to 16 inches in diameter. The transport zone can be lengthened to suit site conveying requirements.
The capacity of the PLT may vary due to characteristics of the solids material and the slope of the unit.
