08/20/2024Screw press is a vital piece of equipment used for dewatering spent grains, a byproduct of the brewing process. It can reduce the moisture content of spent grains to below 60%, making them easier to handle, store, and transport. At Furui Machinery, our screw dewatering machine is available in various models with capacities ranging from 0.2 to 50 tons per hour. Moreover, the screw press is also suitable for various types of biomass waste, such as grape pomace, soybean residue, sawdust, green wheat, coconut shells, and more. Welcome to contact us for more details.
Advantages of Dewatering Spent Grains
Using a screw press for dewatering spent grains offers several advantages:
1. Moisture Reduction
Spent grain usually contains 80-85% moisture. A screw press effectively reduces the moisture content in spent grains to about 60%. This process can reduce the volume and weight of waste, lowering the cost and effort needed for further processing.
2. Improved By-Product Value
- Animal Feed: Dewatered spent grains are rich in protein and fiber, making them an excellent livestock feed. The dewatering process reduces moisture content, making the grains easier to transport and store. In addition, reducing moisture content increases the shelf life of the feed.
- Composting: Dewatered spent grains can be composted and used as fertilizer. It is also used as a substrate for growing mushrooms.
- Biogas Production: Dewatered spent grains can be used in anaerobic digesters to produce biogas.
- Dewatered spent grains can be used as a growth medium for growing mushrooms.
3. Cost-Effectiveness
Investing in a screw press dewatering machine results in significant cost savings for breweries. Breweries can lower their transportation and disposal costs by reducing the moisture content of spent grains. Moreover, the reduced waste volume also saves on storage space and handling expenses.
4. Environmental Sustainability
Using brewery dewatering equipment contributes to environmental sustainability. By effectively extracting water from the spent grains, the liquid and solid can be processed separately. Besides, the dewatered solids will lower energy consumption in further processing (such as drying), leading to lower environmental impact.
