What is KDS Separator?

Versatile Wastewater Treatment Device

- Solid-liquid Separation / Sludge Thickening
A solid-liquid separator is used for various purposes, such as industrial wastewater/livestock wastewater treatment, residue removal from industrial wastewater and sludge thickening. One of the problems that conventional machines have is that their filter screens get clogged easily. Cost and labour are required to remove the clogging. We developed the cutting-edge mechanism with a unique self-cleaning function. The filter does not clog without backwash water. KDS separator enables reduction in installation cost, life-cycle cost. Besides, the footprint is smaller.

- Sludge Dewatering
KDS separator works as an efficent sludge dewatering device, as well. The original pressurization mechanism reduces water content and the amount of discharge. Besides, the discharged cake has been composted or utilized as cement raw material. This contributes to 3R(Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).

Features and Advantages of KDS Separator

STEP.01

Installation

Point ▶ Small Footprint - 1/3 of conventional devices

ADVANTAGE.001-1

KDS separator does not require a wide space and its noise and vibration is very little. Therefore, it is possible to design and install in a client's existing space.

STEP.02

Operation

Point ▶ Clog-free - Stable Processing. Problem-free!

ADVANTAGE.002-1

Kendensha's unique 'self-cleaning' mechanism prevents clogging on the screen, so backwash is not required. Treatment capacity reduction due to clogging does not occur. In short, continuous and stable operation is possible.

■No Need for Backwash

By our original self-cleaning mechanism, backwash is not needed during operation. It reduces water consumption and is environmentally friendly, as well.

■Silent, Low Vibration and Low Power Consumption Design

KDS separator is able to be driven by a small motor because it is designed not to put a heavy load on it.
Since the motor is small, its noise and vibration is low comparing to machines with large motors mounted. The power consumption is reduced to 1/10.

STEP.03

Waste treatment

Point ▶ Applicable for wide variety of sludge properties. Easily adjustable!

ADVANTAGE.003-1

An Example of KDS Separator Installation (livestock wastewater)

Variations in sludge properties are accommodated by adjusting the rotational speed of the oval-plate units and the pressure of the pressure plate. Complex adjustments are not required.

For example, if your priority is treatment capacity, increase the rotational speed of the oval-plates and reduce the pressure of the plate to improve it.
On the contrary, if you want high dryness of discharge cake, you can reduce the water content by slowing down the oval-plate units' rotation and increasing the pressure of the plate.

When the sludge properties are such that pressurisation causes a huge amount of solids to leak into the filtrate (e.g. containing quite an amount of oil), the clarity of the filtrate can be improved by reducing the pressure of the plate.An adjustable pressure plate, attached at the top of the filter screen, dewaters sludge and gradually reduces the volume of it. Dewatering ability has been improved by adjusting the speed of oval-plate rotation and the plate pressure according to the sludge properties.

KDS Separators are in use as a solid-liquid separator or a sludge dewatering device in various fields.

Application Examples

  • Livestock wastewater
  • Waste oil (grease trap, machine oil, etc.)
  • Plant wastewater
  • Plastic recycling wastewater
  • Food processing wastewater etc.
STEP.04

Maintenance

Point ▶ Customer Support

ADVANTAGE.004-1

Consumable parts are replaced by exchanging a whole module. This makes quick restoration possible. By standardizing consumable parts, the supply is stabilized and the cost of maintenance is reduced.

In case of malfunction, please check with Troubleshooting and contact us if the problem is not solved.
