The replacement parts for VOLUTE™
Thanks to every one using our unique VOLUTE™ Dewatering Press, Amcon has reached over 3000 installations in 67 countries, 6 continents across the globe.
In order to ensure that the VOLUTE™ dewatering press operates to the best possible standard, we would like to advise you about the consumable parts.
VOLUTE™ dewatering press has two consumable parts that in time will need to be replaced 1. Moving Rings in dewatering zone(s) and 2. V-screw(s). When you feel that the throughput has dropped or the dry solid content has decreased, please check the hours displayed on the cumulative operation timer.
※This life span is just a reference. The life span will be based on the sludge type and setting of the operation.
There is another way to check if it is time to replace the parts.
You only have to look at the dewatering zone and see whether the rings are moving or not.
| Moving Rings in Dewatering zone | Screw | |
| Model 100～130 | 5000 hours | 10000 hours |
| Model 200～400 | 10000 hours | 30000 hours |
