Bokashi Cycle Vincent KP16 Screw Press with Horizontal Auger Hopper Optimized Loading Option

Bokashi Cycle offers to its clients a Vincent Corporation KP16 screw press with an optimized feed stock loading option for more efficient dewatering and control.

Screw Presses are efficient dewatering units to press and extract liquids from various types of feed stock allowing operators to separate the liquids from the remaining solid "cake" formed in a single operation. 

These dewatering units are able to produce from 500 to 1500 gallons per hour depending on the water or liquid content of the feed stock and the screw rate optimization.

The rate of liquid discharge is dependent upon the turning screw rate and the amount of pressure applied to the cone end of the machine and some optimization work needs to be done to work out the ideal conditions for separating liquid from solids when working with different materials that are to be dewatered.

The Vincent KP16 can be operated by top loading feed stock as is frequently done. With the auger hopper modified option available it can be run far more efficiently and safely allowing the auger in the hopper to load feed stock at an optimal rate synchronized with the KP16 screw throughput for best performance. In so doing problems of bridging can be minimized or completely avoided.

Since the auger in the hopper can be reversed, it is possible to back feed stock out of the KP16 if it is required at any time avoiding down time related to having to manually unload material in a vertical loading operation where forward movement has ceased efficient dewatering. Overloading of the press can be avoided.
