Vincent - Model KP Series -Continuous Dewatering Screw Presses
The KP Series Screw Presses are our most popular, probably because of relatively low cost. They are best suited for applications like produce waste, which requires less torque than offered by the VP and CP Presses. The KP`s with screws up to 16` diameter use hollow bore gearboxes, while units larger than that use foot mounted gearboxes. The screens are not quite as long. Units 16` and smaller use one air cylinder instead of two to actuate the discharge cone, and they include the rotating cone feature.
Introduced in 2014, the KP-L Series Screw Press features the tapered shaft design, longer screen, and additional compression stages of our aggressive VP Series combined with the lower horsepower requirement and price point of our standard KP Series. This hybrid design offers superior liquid separation capability for lower torque applications such as spent brewers’ grain, pectin peel, and fruit juicing.
