Internally Fed Rotary Drum Screen for Vegetable Wash Water Recycling
In industries like vegetable processing, effective water management is crucial. With increasing concerns about water conservation and the costs associated with wastewater treatment, recycling vegetable wash water has become an ideal solution for sustainability. A customer recently inquired about a system capable of treating 80 cubic meters per day of vegetable wash water. The goal is to recycle this water for future vegetable washing processes or repurpose it for irrigation.
An Internally Fed Rotary Drum Screen is an excellent solution for this type of application. It operates by feeding the wash water internally into the drum, where the solids are separated from the water by the fine mesh of the drum screen. As the drum rotates, solids are trapped on the surface and continuously removed by a cleaning mechanism. The cleaned water flows out for further treatment or reuse.
With its durable design and robust stainless steel construction, the internally fed rotary drum screen is particularly suitable for vegetable wash water, where high levels of organic matter, dirt, and vegetable residues are present. The system ensures a high-efficiency solid-liquid separation, helping remove particulates before the water undergoes further purification steps.
For this specific system, with a flow rate of 80 m³/day, the rotary drum screen can handle fluctuating loads and varying particle sizes. The filtered water can then be further processed through advanced filtration or disinfection units to meet quality standards for vegetable washing or irrigation.
This technology not only ensures water reuse but also reduces the environmental impact by minimizing water waste and ensuring efficient solid removal. It’s a sustainable and cost-effective solution for vegetable processing plants aiming to maximize water efficiency and meet environmental standards.
