Abstract
In a screw press, an outer tube ( ), over which a screen ( ) is tensioned, is divided into a freely rotatable condensing zone at the front half thereof, and a filtering and dewatering zone at the rear half thereof, a freely rotatable screw shaft ( ) is provided within the thus-divided outer tube ( ), filtered fluid is separated from sludge supplied to the starting end of the condensing zone by the screen ( ) of the outer tube ( ), and a cake is removed at a discharge port ( ) at the rear end of the outer tube ( ) of the filtering and dewatering zone. A sludge supply path ( ) is provided in the screw shaft ( ), a supply hole ( ) of this supply path ( ) is formed at the starting end of the outer tube ( ) of the condensing zone, and a scraper ( ) extends on the outer periphery of a screw vane ( ) from the starting end to the ending end. The scraper ( ) is caused to make pressured sliding contact with the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube ( ), so that filtering and dewatering are performed as the outer tube ( ) of the condensing zone and the screw shaft ( ) are rotated.
