[A Must-Read for First-Timers!] Benefits and Key Points of Renting a Sludge Dewatering Machine

For those considering renting a sludge dewatering machine for the first time, this article contains essential information. Renting can provide effective solutions when a replacement machine is needed due to a breakdown or overhaul of an existing unit, or when an increase in sludge requires additional capacity that the current setup can’t handle. Here, we’ll explore the benefits of renting a machine and some key points to consider.

What is a Sludge Dewatering Machine?

A sludge dewatering machine is used to dewater (extract water) sludge generated in wastewater treatment plants and various manufacturing facilities. By reducing the sludge volume, it helps reduce disposal costs and minimizes environmental impact. The water separated from the sludge is returned to the drainage process, eventually being released back into natural water bodies once treated, thereby promoting the natural cycle.

Benefits of Renting a Sludge Dewatering Machine

Renting a sludge dewatering machine offers several advantages, particularly in terms of flexibility, trial opportunities, and maintenance support.

Flexible Duration of Use

Temporary Needs: Renting provides a quick and easy solution for temporary increase in sludge volume or when your existing dewatering machine is down for repairs or maintenance. This allows for a substitution during specific periods only, reducing overall costs.

Opportunity to Test Our Equipment

Trial Before Purchase: If you’re considering a new purchase or need to update an existing dewatering machine, renting allows you to test its performance and handling in a real setting before committing to purchase a product.

Maintenance and Support

Rental case-study of our Sludge Dewatering Machine

Here is a case-study of how sludge dewatering machine rentals have been utilized.

Case Study: Manufacturing Plant of Automotive Parts

At this plant, sludge is generated from two systems: industrial wastewater and domestic wastewater. For years, industrial wastewater sludge had been dewatered using a filter press, while sludge from domestic wastewater was removed by vacuum extraction. When considering an upgrade, the plant sought out a machine capable of handling both types of sludge.

Our process began with a sample test of the sludge to assess the machine’s dewaterability. However, since the client had concerns about switching to a new machine with different features  compared to the filter press they’d been using for years, we decided to bring an actual unit on-site for testing. The test results were favorable, but the client requested a rental unit for about one month so they can operate the machine continuously to address any additional concerns that may arise.
