- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on the material and desired dryness.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor power varying based on screw size and application.
- Contact materials
- As stated, stainless steel contact parts are standard for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food processing, while the frame is mild steel.
- Screen mesh size
- The 2mm hole mesh specified is suitable for coarse separation; finer meshes are available on other units for different applications.
- Footprint
- A screw press of this model size typically requires a floor area of approximately 2-4 square metres, plus space for maintenance and material handling.
- Maintenance requirements
- Regular cleaning of the screen and screw, lubrication of bearings, and inspection of wear parts like the screw and screen are typically required.
