Abstract (en)

[origin: US5713268A] PCT No. PCT/EP95/00920 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 24, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 24, 1996 PCT Filed Mar. 13, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/25006 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 21, 1995A screw press in which a screw continuously dewaters a suspension. The screw has a threaded section and a downstream compression section with a variable squeeze, and the screw is powered to forward the suspension. A housing accommodates the threaded section and the compression section with the variable squeeze. The suspension is admitted in dilute form at an intake at one end of the press. At another end of the press, the suspension is delivered in dewatered form downstream of the compression section through an outlet. The housing is in the form of a wire basket permeable to liquids and impermeable to solids, and is axially displaceable back and forth adjacent the unthreaded compression section between a non-operating position and an operating position to vary an effective length of the basket. This effective length is zero in the non-operating position for emptying the press. The effective length and the resulting pressure on the compression section corresponds to a desired parameter in the operating position. The compression section, furthermore, is free of separate elements that comprise a squeeze.
