Product Description

Comprehensive Description of STARK Sludge Dewatering Machine

The STARK Sludge Dewatering Machine is a cutting-edge solution for the solid–liquid separation needs of industrial and municipal wastewater systems. Built with advanced engineering principles and industrial-grade materials, it streamlines the entire sludge management process—from inlet to discharge—ensuring cost-effective, continuous, and low-maintenance operation.

Working Principle

The system begins with sludge feeding into a pre-thickening chamber where polymer conditioning optimizes flocculation. Conditioned sludge is then processed via one of three main configurations:

  • Screw Press: Applies slow-rotating spiral pressure and self-cleaning rings to dewater sludge with high organic content while minimizing clogging and energy use.
  • Belt Filter Press: Utilizes gravity drainage, wedge pressing, and shear zones to efficiently reduce moisture content in large-volume continuous applications.
  • Plate and Frame Filter Press: Applies high-pressure mechanical squeezing, ideal for achieving the lowest possible residual moisture for high-value disposal or reuse scenarios.

System Composition

Each STARK sludge dewatering unit comprises the following integrated modules:

  • Sludge Inlet & Flocculation Tank – Enables pre-conditioning with coagulants or polymers.
  • Dewatering Chamber – Depending on model, features screw shaft, belt tensioning rollers, or filter plates.
  • Filtrate Collection System – Captures and redirects separated water for recycling or discharge.
  • Drive & Control Panel – PLC-integrated, allowing customizable operation and automatic fault alerts.
  • Stainless Steel Housing – Ensures durability in corrosive environments, with anti-rust surface treatment.

Energy Efficiency and Operation

The STARK machine is optimized for energy conservation. The screw press model consumes as low as 0.1–0.2 kWh per ton of sludge treated. Low-noise motors and variable frequency drives (VFDs) ensure smooth startup and speed regulation without shock loads.

Operational modes support 24/7 unattended runtime, and the user-friendly interface makes it easy to monitor status, adjust pressure, and perform emergency stops. All models include maintenance-free bearings and automatic cleaning systems to reduce downtime.

Versatile Applications

Thanks to modular design and multiple capacity options, STARK sludge dewatering machines are ideal for:

  • Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs)
  • Industrial manufacturing (chemical, textile, paper mill)
  • Food and beverage processing plants
  • Pharmaceutical and cosmetic wastewater facilities
  • Livestock farm effluent treatment

This versatility, coupled with superior dewatering efficiency, makes STARK a reliable choice for sustainable sludge reduction, regulatory compliance, and cost minimization.
