How It Works: The 3-Stage Dewatering Process
Our Multi-Disc Screw Press utilizes a unique structure of fixed and moving rings to filter sludge. The process is divided into three critical stages to ensure maximum solid-liquid separation.
1. Thickening Zone (Flocculation & Gravity Filtration)
Sludge is first mixed with polymer in the flocculation tank to form “flocs.” As the sludge enters the initial part of the screw cylinder, gravity filtration takes place. The gaps between the moving and fixed rings allow the free water to drain out rapidly while the solids are moved forward by the screw shaft.
2. Dewatering Zone (Compression & Pressing)
As the sludge moves toward the discharge end, the pitch of the screw becomes narrower and the space inside the cylinder decreases. This creates high internal pressure. The moving rings continuously clean the gaps, preventing the mesh from clogging, while the pressure forces the remaining water out of the sludge.
3. Discharge Zone (Sludge Cake Formation)
In the final stage, the sludge is compressed into a “sludge cake” with low moisture content. The pressure is regulated by the back-pressure plate at the outlet. The result is a dry, manageable cake ready for transport or disposal, significantly reducing your waste volume.

Technical Advantages: Built for Industrial Performance
Why is the Kopay Multi-Disc Screw Press the preferred choice for wastewater engineers?
Non-Clogging Construction: The continuous movement of the rings ensures the filter gaps are cleaned automatically. It is ideal for oily sludge that typically clogs belt presses or centrifuges.
Minimal Operator Attention: The system is fully automated. Once the parameters are set, it requires very little manual supervision.
Low Vibration & Noise: Unlike high-speed centrifuges, the screw press operates at low speeds (2–4 rpm), resulting in a quiet and stable working environment.
Superior Material Quality: Constructed with high-grade SUS304 or SUS316 Stainless Steel, our machines offer excellent corrosion resistance and a service life of over 15 years.
Energy & Water Savings: The low-speed motor consumes 90% less power than a centrifuge and requires significantly less wash water compared to a belt filter press.

Tackling High-FOG Food Wastewater: Superior Dewatering with Proven Results
Food processing wastewater, characterized by high levels of Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG), presents a unique dewatering challenge. Conventional centrifuges often struggle with the greasy, sticky sludge, leading to high chemical consumption, frequent clogging, and inconsistent cake dryness.
Our Multi-Disc Screw Press is engineered specifically for such demanding applications. Its staggered disc design and controlled pressure progression allow for gentle yet effective dewatering of greasy sludges without shearing the flocs. The result? You achieve stable cake dryness below 80% while dramatically reducing operational costs.
Don’t just take our word for it. See the data from our clients:

—Success Case: Solving Oily Sludge Clogging for a Large Poultry Processing Plant
Project Location: Southeast Asia
Application: Slaughterhouse Wastewater Treatment
Equipment: Kopay KSP-302 Multi-Disc Screw Press
The Challenge:
The client, a large-scale poultry processing facility, was struggling with high-fat, oily sludge. They were using a traditional Belt Filter Press, which required:
Constant Cleaning: The filter belts clogged every 2 hours due to the high grease content in the sludge.
High Water Usage: Over 10m³ of high-pressure wash water was used daily just to keep the belts clean.
Manual Labor: Two full-time operators were needed to monitor the machine and manually clean the filter mesh.
Our Solution:
Kopay International replaced the aging belt press with our Multi-Disc Screw Press (KSP-Series). Unlike the belt press, our screw press uses a unique “Fixed and Moving Ring” structure that is self-cleaning and specifically designed for oily and greasy sludge.
The Results:
24/7 Automated Operation: The plant shifted from manual monitoring to a fully automated “set-and-forget” system.
90% Water Savings: Because our screw press is self-cleaning with the internal rings, the wash water requirement dropped by 90% compared to the belt press.
Low Moisture Cake: The final sludge cake moisture was consistently maintained at 75%–80%, making it easy to transport and dispose of.
Minimal Power Consumption: The system runs on a small 1.5kW motor, reducing the facility’s electricity bill significantly.
ROI (Return on Investment):
By reducing water consumption, labor costs, and chemical (polymer) waste, the client reported that the Kopay Multi-Disc Screw Press paid for itself in just 10 months.
—Is the Multi-Disc Screw Press Right for Your Project?
Many factories realize too late that a “cheap” belt press ends up being more expensive due to maintenance and water costs.
Kopay International provides a Free Sludge Analysis:
If you are dealing with oily, greasy, or thin sludge (less than 1% concentration), our technical team will help you size the correct Multi-Disc Screw Press model to ensure long-term, clog-free operation.
