Getting solids out of the plant efficiently is often the largest controllable line item in a wastewater budget. We represent mechanical dewatering platforms built to cut hauling costs and operator time.
Self-cleaning, low-water, low-power sludge dewatering
A slow-turning screw moves sludge through a drum built from alternating fixed and moving discs. As the screw turns, the moving discs continuously agitate and self-clean the filtration gaps between them, which keeps wash water and polymer use low compared to belt or centrifuge alternatives.
The design handles sludge with high fats, oils, and grease content — material that tends to clog belt presses — and does it at a fraction of the power draw, running quietly enough to sit in an occupied building.
Because the drum assembly is modular, plants can commission a press with one or two drums installed and the mechanical, electrical, and control provisions in place to add drums later as flow grows — capacity added without swapping the machine.
Continuous mechanical dewatering for a range of sludge types
The multi-roller disc press moves conditioned sludge through a series of rollers and discs for continuous mechanical dewatering, offering an alternative mechanical profile where a screw press or belt press isn't the best fit for the sludge characteristics on site.
A complete dewatering system in a container or on a trailer
A mobile dewatering plant packages the press, sludge feed pumps, polymer system, and controls into a container or trailer built and tested before it ever reaches site. Connect sludge, water, and power, and the system is ready to run.
That speed makes mobile units a practical answer for emergency capacity, a plant upgrade in progress, or a temporary permitted operation — without waiting on a full capital project and a construction schedule.
Mobile sludge dewatering plants deploy in days, not months — a practical bridge for emergency capacity, plant upgrades, or seasonal peaks.
From a single piece of replacement equipment to a full plant process flow, PLZ Water Tech works alongside your team to design, size, and source the right technology.
