Screenings Washing Dewatering Press — Headworks

Convey, wash, and dewater headworks screenings in a single integrated unit — simplifying operations and cutting disposal costs.

What is a Screenings Washing Dewatering Press?

Screenings washing dewatering presses combine conveying, washing, and dewatering of headworks screenings into a single integrated unit. Raw screenings from bar screens enter the unit wet, odorous, and loaded with fecal matter — they exit as a compacted, washed material ready for bagging and disposal. By consolidating three functions into one machine, these units simplify the headworks equipment layout, reduce the number of systems to maintain, and directly lower ongoing disposal costs through volume and moisture reduction.
