MVA-FF Force Feeding Pumps are ideal for centrifuged & dehydrated sludge and dewatered sludge recovery further to mechanical dehydration (eg to a belt-press, screw-press, centrifuge, filterpress)

Construction: 

• PCM Chloroprene stator with hole for temperature sensor
• Hard chromed rotor
• Packing gland sealing with greaser
• Rectangular Hopper (1000mm X 275mm) with open Archimedean screw on the shaftline

PCM EcoMoineau™ MVA-FF Force Feeding Progressive Cavity Pumps

Viscous, pasty, sticky, high-solids, or solid-containing fluids are common in many environmental applications. They are suited to harsh conditions requiring the use of well-adapted pumps. The MSH is constructed with an Archimedean screw for manual or gravity feeding of highly viscous or low flow fluids. Depending on the product being pumped, you will have the choice of using the closed or open Archimedean screw.

Open Archimedean screw: perfectly meeting the transfer constraints of sticky products, it allows the fluid to circulate between its core and its perforated coils, thus avoiding any risk of compaction. The Archimedean screw with open coils is the best solution to the risk of possible overflow of the hoppers.

Closed Archimedean screw: specially designed for non-sticky viscous products, it offers a very high conveying efficiency thanks to the optimized surface of its turns. The Archimedean screw with closed coils guarantees optimal force feeding of the sludge.

The MF will fit into small spaces thanks to a design that replaces the connecting rod with an armatureless floating stator and an elastomeric pad. The flexibility of the stator and pad allows the rotor to rotate off-center, with the rotor directly linked to the motor. This allows for a shorter pump body.

Capable of transferring a wide range of viscous or solid-based fluids, these pumps offer very good suction capacity and are ideal for diluted polymer dosing.

Construction of Ecomoineau MF Compact Progressive Cavity Pump

The PCM EcoMoineau™ MX pump is the ideal choice for industries seeking a high-performance, robust, and user-friendly pumping solution.
It is Suitable for transferring viscous and abrasive (particle-laden) fluids, and requires very little maintenance compared with lobe pump technology.

The large inspection doors create easy access to the pump body for cleaning and monitoring of pump operation.

Maintenance in place

The PCM Ecomoineau™ MX contains a multitude of design features that make installation, operation and maintenance easier than ever before.

• Rotor and stator can be replaced in a matter of minutes
• The seal can be changed by simply disconnecting the drive
• The shaft line (rotor, coupling rod, driving shaft) can be removed without disconnecting the pipes
• The integrated version comes with a smaller diameter, self-positioning mechanical seal

Peristaltic pumps with low operating speeds are ideal for abrasive products. The transfer is carried out inside the hose without agitating the fluids. They are also the perfect solution for handling corrosive products, as only the hose is in contact with the fluid.

The hose is the wear part within the pump, so maintenance is low-cost, and easily handled on-site.

• Cast iron body
• EPDM or NR hose
• No dynamic sealing – no expensive sealing system to replace
• Low energy costs thanks to low operating speeds
• 100% leakproof body to hold the fluid in case of hose rupture

ANDRITZ rotating drum screens – Girapac and Girasieve – are enclosed, compact, and stand-alone units, for pre-treatment of industrial and municipal wastewater.

These rotating drum screen provides high solid/liquid separation, as well as sieving, desanding, degreasing, and additionally, the Girapac allows compacting and bagging of waste in one unit.

Operating Principle

The effluent feeds a distribution tank before passing over the upper part of the filter drum. Then, it passes through the filter screen, and waste particles larger than the mesh are deposited on the drum and carried away towards the discharge zone. The particles removed when coming into contact with the scraper drop into the screw compactor. The water falls through the lower part of the drum, ensuring self-cleaning of the filter screen by eliminating the remaining impurities. An internal washing ramp is used to complete the cleaning of the drum.

In the Girapac system, the waste is conveyed by a shaftless screw towards a compacting zone and then drops into a plastic bagging unit. Filtrates generated in the compacting zone are guided to the drum filtrate tank.

A container CIP system is ideal for maintaining tanker hygiene.

• Fully automated plug and play system, customised to suit your wash requirements
• Enhanced driver/operator safety, no chemical handling required
• Data capture system comes standard for easy recording keeping and auditing (option for SCADA control system)
• Options for water and chemical reuse systems

The average lifetime of an Andrtiz filter press is over 30 years.

With Andritz filter presses, the highest dry substance (DS) content can be achieved without additional heat consumption, and even smaller particle sizes can be retained in the filter press. Andritz will provide the right filter plates, cloths, or other components to achieve the exact degree of dewatering required.

Filter element technologies:

Chamber Filter Presses

Less peripheral equipment, resulting in lower investment and OPEX costs: Chamber filter presses are reliable and robust in many different applications. The plate pack consists of uniform chamber plates with a recess of 15- 50 mm to receive the filter cake. The standard material for chamber plates is polypropylene.

Possible operating pressures: 6 bar, 15 bar, and 30 bar.

Membrane Filter Presses

Higher DS content obtained with membrane filter presses: Membrane filter plates are designed in the same way as the chamber plates. A flexible membrane is secured to the support body. The membrane is
impermeable and compresses the cake within the chamber after the filtration process has been completed. Liquid or gas can be used as the membrane inflation medium.

Inflation pressures up to 30 bar are possible, and in special cases even higher.

Plate & Frame Filter Presses – Sheet Filters

Quick filter cloth change for process filtraton: The chambers in this type of filter press are formed by combining polypropylene filter plates and frames. This creates chambers of 5-40 mm, depending on frame thickness. Plate and frame type filter presses are suitable for pre-coating filtration, which is used in the beverage industry for clear filtration.

Operating pressures up to 6 bar.

The modular, eco-friendly design uses 10% less power than most other PCP on the market. Designed to minimise operating costs, the Ecomoineau is easy to operate and service. The smaller footprint makes it easier to install and integrate into your process too!
