Make, Model & Classification
| Name | Screw Press Separator |
| Model | SOLIDRY Separator |
| Classification | Dehydration/Dewatering/Desiccation |
Operations
| Description or Purpose | Dewatering of Thick (20% solids) as well as Thin slurries (down to 0.1%solids) with dryness adjustable between 25% and 55% (Depending on application and model) ideal for waste products washed out in a liquid stream. |
| Operating Principles | The PSS is fed by pump or gravity from a holding tank. It is also possible to feed the PSS by hopper. The optimal feeding method depends on the raw material consistency and the site conditions.In the slotted screen, the fibrous solids are screened out from the liquid. The fibers build up a layer which also acts as a filter to separate finer particles from the liquid. The auger flights convey this layer to the solids outlet. The screen surface is cleaned and a new filter layer is formed. The dryness of the solid cake can be adjusted by the number and position of the weights |
| Additional Information | • The FAN SOLIDRY Separator is self-cleaning • The Unit has a high capacity and produces dry solids • The FAN Separator produces solids at moisture that is optimum for composting • The maintenance of the FAN Separator is minimal and requires no special training • The most important parts like screen and auger are made of stainless steel. • Increases the efficiency of following waste water treatment systems • The power consumption of the FAN PSS is very small. |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
