Specialized Zones Optimize Dewatering Process
Engineering Wisdom Provides Long Term Value

After all the tests are in, and the studies compelte, the Winklepress stands alone as the clear winner in high-performance dewatering. The Winklepress combines advanced high durability engineering, precision workmanship and long life materials into a single masterpiece of performance and value.

Zone Approach dewatering: There are 5 key zones that allows the Winklepress to optimize the dewatering process through this Engineered approach to dewatering.

1. Conditioning Zone: Optimized dewatering begins with the proper conditioning of the slurry. Each Winklepress is equipped with a proprietary variable orifice in-line polymer mixer that combines polymer and slurry instantly to facilitate rapid flocculation. This design allows the Winklepress to use the lowest dosage of polymer and achieve the highest cake solids over all other competitors.
2. Gravity Dewatering Zone: This zone quickly removes excess liquids and thickens the incoming slurry to improve its dewatering properties. Rapid drainage is encouraged with the use of proprietary design chicanes.
3. Vertical Wedge Dewatering Zone: The Winklepress is the only Belt Press that features a Vertial wedge zone. Using the natural effects of gradually increasing pressure imposed by gravity on the depth and weight of the slurry-this zone further reduces the volumes of the suspension in preparation for pressing. The Winlepress wedge is fully adjustable with four, easily accessible maunal actuators. This unique design makes process adjustments and system optimization possible without the need to stop the Winklepress or interrupt the dewatering process.
4. Preliminary Dewatering Zone: In this zone , the sludge is introduced to direct pressure-point-loading as it is conveyed, is is sandwiched between both dewatering belts and around the unique Winklepress dandy roller. As the belts move around the dandy roller, the effects of shear pressure are introduced to the sludge. The shear affect is created by the speed differences of the belts as they move around the circumference of the roller.
5. Full Pressure Dewatering Zone: The full pressure dewatering zone of the is accomplished with gradually increasing pressure levels both linear and shear to achieve maximum dewatering without embedding the slurry into the belts.
