View DetailsAustralia's industrial sector is undergoing a massive transition driven by strict environmental regulations, water scarcity, and the push for circular economy practices. From the mining hubs of Western Australia and Queensland to the agricultural processing facilities in Victoria and New South Wales, efficient solid-liquid separation has become a operational necessity.
Single screw presses have emerged as the technology of choice for dewatering applications across these diverse sectors. Unlike traditional belt presses or centrifuges, the modern single screw press offers a low-speed, high-torque mechanism that significantly reduces energy consumption while delivering exceptional cake dryness.
As local industries face rising energy costs and stringent EPA guidelines regarding waste disposal, investing in robust, highly efficient dewatering machinery is no longer optional—it is a critical strategy for maintaining operational viability and compliance.
The engineering behind a single screw press relies on a continuous, mechanical squeeze. The material enters the feed hopper and is gradually moved forward by the rotating screw. Because the pitch of the screw flights decreases towards the discharge end, and the shaft diameter often increases, the volume between the flights is progressively reduced. This creates a high-pressure zone that forces liquid out through the surrounding screen basket while retaining the solids.
Key technical innovations in modern screw presses include:
Our dewatering and concentration solutions are tailored to meet the rigorous demands of several key Australian industries:

Operating a 54,000+ sqm facility with over 120 staff, including 3 senior engineers and 20+ specialized engineers.
Procuring heavy industrial equipment like single screw presses requires careful consideration of local compliance, engineering standards, and ongoing support. For Australian buyers, ensuring that machinery complies with local regulations is paramount.
Jiangsu Zongheng Concentrating and Drying Equipment Co., Ltd. addresses these requirements through a robust compliance framework:
Get answers to common technical and operational questions regarding single screw presses.
Depending on the material, a single screw press can achieve cake dryness ranging from 25% to over 50% DS (Dry Solids). For organic materials like corn fiber or spent grains, dryness typically exceeds 40%.
A single screw press operates at very low speeds (1-5 RPM) compared to centrifuges (3000+ RPM). This results in up to 80% lower energy consumption, significantly lower noise levels, and reduced wear and tear.
Yes. We manufacture pressure components to comply with AS1210 (or ASME equivalent) and supply electrical control panels built to AS3000 standards, featuring local components like Rockwell or Siemens.
Maintenance is minimal due to the low operating speed. Key tasks include periodic inspection of the screen basket for blinding or wear, checking the screw flight hard-facing, and lubricating the main bearings and gearbox.
