The screw shaft is encapsulated within a housing including a hopper portion, transition portion, bearing portion and screen portion. A transition portion includes a radial gate valve which is angled such that the radial gate valve's axis of rotation is substantially parallel to the screw shaft threads. In addition, the screw shaft is supported by a first support at its proximal extremity and a second support towards its distal extremity. The support at its distal extremity includes one or more wear bearings which concentrically support the threads of the screw shaft in a frictional engagement manner. In operation, semi-solid materials are introduced to the screw press through the hopper portion inlet. Material is conveyed through the housing by rotation of the screw shaft until material collects within the screen portion. Material within the screen portion is compressed to force liquid through the screen mesh openings. Back flow of material is prevented by a radial gate valve. The angle of the radial gate valve with respect to the screw presses housing provides for greater pressure build up within the screen portion. Moreover, the use of wear bearings reduces wear to the housing and screen due to metal on metal contact with the screw threads and also provides for increased efficiency of the screw press operation. | 08-27-2009 |
