FKC Screw Press

FKC is the worldwide leader in screw press dewatering technology for a wide variety of applications. All FKC screw presses and rotary screen thickeners are custom designed for each and every dewatering or thickening application. Put our experience with over 6,000 screw presses installed and operating worldwide to work for you.

An FKC screw press can be used in an extremely wide variety of liquid-solid separation, or dewatering applications. An FKC screw press can be used in the same applications where belt presses, centrifuges, and filter presses have traditionally been used, as well as in more traditional screw press applications such as those in the pulp & paper industry. FKC custom designs and manufactures screw presses from 100 mm (4") to 1500 mm (59") in diameter, with wetted lengths up to 9 meters (30').

The screw press is a very simple, slow-moving mechanical device. Dewatering is continuous and is accomplished by gravity drainage at the inlet end of the screw and then by reducing the volume as the material being dewatered is conveyed from the inlet to the discharge end of the screw press. The proper screw design is critical, as different materials require different screw speeds, screw configurations, and screens in order to dewater to a high outlet consistency while maintaining an excellent capture rate.
