    Section 2 Operating The cleaned material can be conveyed directly to a container through the discharge pipe. 2.2 Technical Description The wash press is designed as a spiral press to wash organic dissolvable materials out of coarse and fine screened material. The spiral press then dewaters, compresses and transports the material.
  • Page 17: Operating Procedure

    Section 2 Operating A gear motor drives the spiral. The drive shaft to the spiral passes through a sealed thrust bearing box, which takes all of the thrust from the pressing operation, and prevents pressed liquid from entering the gear box. 2.3 Operating Procedure 2.3.1 Normal Operation A.
  • Page 18 Section 2 Operating For long periods of shut-down, the discharge pipe should be purged of screenings, which could harden in the pipe and cause a blockage when the equipment is re- started. The pipe can be purged by running ice through the press until all the screenings are purged.
