⚠️ Dewatering hazardous, abrasive sludge with heavy sand and hydrocarbons is a challenge that often destroys conventional equipment.

This is exactly what the VOLUTE DUO™ was built for. Thanks to its frictionless twin-screw design, the moving rings never touch the screws, allowing the machine to process highly abrasive material with a longer lifespan.

The raw data in our latest video speaks for itself. Watch the pilot test of the RVP-241 and the results of the installation of the VOLUTE DUO™ RVP-501 effortlessly handling an extreme industrial environment.

Key Performance Data:
- Extreme Conditions: The sludge contains a staggering 76.3% inorganic content (sand/grit) at 11.3% Total Solids.
- Outstanding Dryness: Reaching 43.3% Cake Solids, significantly reducing sludge disposal costs.
- Clear Filtrate: Achieved a 99.6% Capture Rate.
- Low OPEX: Polymer dosing (YESfloc COEX88) was kept to a minimal 4.29 g/kg-DS.

Take a look inside our latest 30ft Plug & Play container heading to a potable water treatment plant in Ireland! 🇮🇪💧

What is packed inside?
- The VOLUTE DUO™ RVP-601 (our frictionless twin-screw press)
- Kozegho automated powder polymer make-up system
- AMCON ESB Screw Conveyor for sludge cake discharge

The real game-changer for site operators is the layout itself. We built this unit with extra internal working space and full side-door access.

Your operators gets complete, unrestricted access to the entire dewatering ecosystem. No squeezing through narrow aisles to check on the process. Just open the sides, and the technology is right in front of you.

Contact us and let’s discuss your custom containerised sludge dewatering solution.

Another fully equipped Plug & Play container is leaving our production facility and heading to its new site! 🚛💨

Building new infrastructure for sludge dewatering usually means dealing with months of construction permits, multiple contractors, and complex system integration.

Our containerised solutions bypass all of that. What you see in the video is a complete, factory-tested dewatering ecosystem built around our clog-free VOLUTE™ dewatering press. Once it arrives on site, simply connect the piping and power supply, and you are ready to dewater. No civil engineering, no hassle.

Stay tuned for our next post, where we will take a detailed look at the exact technology packed inside this mobile unit! 🔍

Paper mill sludge is notoriously difficult to dewater. Add a thermal dryer to the mix, and traditional centrifuges often hit their limits. 🛑⚙️

Recently, a Polish paper manufacturer tested the VOLUTE DUO™ to optimise their sludge line. They needed a machine that could handle a highly fluctuating mix of primary, biological, and DAF sludge while delivering maximum dryness for a downstream thermal dryer.

The VOLUTE DUO™ showed incredible operational flexibility:
– Achieved an impressive 43.7% DS, ensuring the most economical operation of the thermal dryer.
– Consistently delivered >40% DS with a minimal active polymer dosage of just 2.8 g/kg-DS.

Unlike high-speed decanters, the non-contact twin-screw design of the VOLUTE DUO™ handles abrasive and fibrous mixtures effortlessly, with minimal wear and zero clogging.

Are you planning to upgrade your sludge treatment line? Contact us for a pilot test.

A major Polish paper manufacturer planned to optimise its sludge management by incorporating a subsequent thermal sludge drying system. The customer operates two dewatering machines – an older type designed exclusively for highly fibrous sludges and a newer decanter centrifuge. However, these tech...

What happens when highly abrasive glass sludge meets the VOLUTE DUO™? ⚙️💧
In the glass manufacturing industry, dewatering is a major operational challenge.

Traditional equipment struggles with rapid wear and tear due to the highly abrasive nature of the sludge, leading to frequent downtime and costly parts replacement.

See how we solve this in our latest on-site video.

The VOLUTE DUO™ is engineered specifically for these harsh conditions. Thanks to its unique non-contact design, the screw and the rings never rub against each other. This eliminates internal friction, significantly limiting mechanical wear and extending the lifespan of the components.

The result? A highly reliable, fully automated dewatering process with zero daily maintenance.

Dewatering abrasive hydrocarbon sludge from petrol tank cleaning is notoriously tough on equipment. Sand, inorganic matter, and heavy oil can easily destroy conventional presses and centrifuges. ⚙️

To solve this, we engineered a complete, mobile Plug-and-Play solution! 🎥 Check out the video below to see this robust ecosystem in action.

At the heart of our new skid is the VOLUTE DUO™ Dewatering Press. Thanks to its frictionless twin-screw design, it handles highly abrasive sludge effortlessly—without clogging or severe wear.

Combined with an integrated Microwave TS meter and Polymore system, the entire unit optimizes chemical dosing automatically and runs 24/7 unattended.

Just connect your piping and power, and you are ready to dewater.
