Fibrous material dewatering press
Efficiently remove excess moisture from a variety of fibrous materials, enhancing process continuity and improving material handling in your production line.
The VetterTec Mechanical Screw Press is engineered for efficient dewatering across multiple industries, ranging from agrifood production to environmental applications. This system employs a simple yet effective screw compression mechanism, expertly designed to handle fibrous materials by leveraging mechanical or hydraulic operations with infinitely variable speed control. Ideal for processing products such as wheat gluten, corn fibers, and citrus fruit peels, it excels in delivering compact, dry solids out of slurry inputs. Tailored for both continuous and variable-speed operations, the VetterTec Screw Press integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, ensuring energy efficiency and process reliability. Constructed from high-grade materials, it offers enhanced corrosion resistance and longevity, suitable for aggressive environments. With an option for customization and compliance with industry standards, it ensures seamless integration and operational excellence in your production line.
