Poultry Processing Sludge Dewatering Project in Manila, Philippines: MDSP-352 Multi-Disc Screw Press Case Study
1. Project Overview
Location: Manila, Philippines
Industry: Food Processing (Poultry & Meat)
Machine Model: Multi-disc screw press | Sludge dewatering machine (Model MDSP-352)
The Goal: To replace an aging belt press and reduce sludge volume by 70% to lower landfill disposal fees.
2. The Challenge
The client, a major poultry exporter, was struggling with high-fat, oily sludge that caused their traditional belt press to clog constantly. The old system required a dedicated operator 8 hours a day just to wash the filter cloths, leading to massive water waste and secondary pollution. Furthermore, the outlet cake was too wet (over 85% moisture), making transportation costs financially unsustainable.
3. The Kopay Solution
We recommended an integrated system centered around the Kopay MDSP-352. Unlike traditional methods, our Multi-disc screw press wholesaler solution features a self-cleaning mechanism that thrives in oily environments.
To ensure the highest reliability, the unit was equipped with Schneider Electric PLC and SEW-Eurodrive motors. We also integrated an Auto Polymer Preparation Unit supplier to automate chemical dosing, ensuring that the sludge flocs were perfectly formed before entering the press.
4. Technical Performance Data
This data was recorded after 30 days of stable operation, proving the efficiency of the Kopay system.
| Parameter | Before Kopay (Belt Press) | After Kopay Installation (MDSP-352) |
| Inlet Sludge Concentration | 1.2% (Oily) | 1.2% (Oily) |
| Outlet Cake Dryness | 14% – 16% | 22% – 26% |
| Daily Operation Time | 8h (Manual Supervision) | 24h (Fully Automated) |
| Wash Water Usage | 15 m³/day (High Pressure) | < 0.5 m³/day (Self-Cleaning) |
| Power Consumption | 7.5 kW | 2.2 kW |
5. Project Outcome & ROI
By increasing the cake dryness and reducing the weight of the waste, the client successfully reduced their sludge hauling frequency from daily to just twice a week.
To further automate the facility, a Sludge Cake Conveyor factory was installed to transport the dry solids directly to the disposal truck. The client reported a total operational saving of $3,200 per month, meaning the Sludge dewatering machine manufacturer investment reached full ROI in less than 14 months.
For plants looking for even higher volume reduction, we are now discussing the addition of a Wastewater Sludge Dryer to achieve 10% moisture content.
“By increasing cake dryness to 25%, the client reduced their weekly sludge hauling trips from 5 times to 1 time, saving approximately $3200 per month.”
