The Dehydris Twist based on proven Bucher Unipektin piston press technology, represents one of the most innovative and efficient systems on the dewatering market. It is fed with drinking water sludge or pre-thickened wastewater sludge conditioned with reagent.
The press, equipped with semi-solid drainage elements, operates in cycles (from 2 to 3 hours). Each cycle is made is made up of 3 entirely automated phases: supply phase, pressing/filter cake fragmentation phase and discharge phase.
