De Water - De Water Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Dewatering washed produce such as fruits and vegetables in food processing.
• Separating solids from liquids in waste treatment or recycling operations.
• Extracting excess water from aggregates or minerals in construction and mining.
• Draining processed ingredients in confectionery or snack food production.
• Removing liquid from bulk materials prior to further processing or packaging.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Capacity for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on material density and desired moisture reduction.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, with power consumption varying based on motor size and conveyor length.

Construction material

De-water conveyors are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, especially in food applications.

Conveyor type

Commonly features a perforated belt or vibrating screen design to facilitate liquid drainage.

Footprint

The footprint for this class of equipment can vary significantly, typically from 2 to 6 metres in length and 0.5 to 1.5 metres in width, plus access space.

Drainage mechanism

Often incorporates a collection tray or tank beneath the conveyor to capture drained liquids.
