Once the washing cycle is complete, an automatic valve opens, allowing the wash water to drain through perforations in the trough. In the next step, the washed screenings are discharged, and the compaction and dewatering process occurs simultaneously, all in a single operation, ensuring efficient handling and processing of the screenings.
The screw then pushes the screenings through the pressure zone, where they are compressed, dewatered, and compacted. After this, the screenings are discharged through the discharge pipe, either into a dumpster for disposal or into a bagger for further handling. This final step ensures that the screenings are efficiently processed and ready for disposal or transport.
Feeding through a HUBER Launder Channel HLC
The screenings drop from the screen or conveyor into the HUBER Launder Channel HLC. Screened wastewater or process water is then used to flush the screenings through the launder channel into the trough of the HUBER Screenings Wash Press WAP® SL. This flush water also serves as the wash water in the trough, ensuring effective cleaning and dewatering of the screenings during the washing process.
Feeding Directly from a Screen or Conveyor
The screenings drop directly from the screen or conveyor into the trough. Screened wastewater or process water is then introduced directly into the trough, where it serves as wash water to clean the screenings during the washing process.
