Rotary Fan Press - Pureworld Solutions Inc.

SMALL FOOTPRINT • BIG IMPACT
THE PRIME RO TA RY FA N PRESS : R E V O L U T I O N A R Y D E W A T E R I N G
TECHNOLOGY FOR MUNICIPALITIES, INDUSTRIES A ND AGRICULTURE.
The Prime Rotary Fan Press® uses fundamental physics: friction and
pressure to force water out through the path of least resistance.
When biosolids enter the press, pressure increases as waste moves slowly
through a tapered channel. Friction intensifies as the solids compress
against two rotating filter screens, filtrate takes the path of least resistance
and drains through the screens.
Although dryness of biosolids varies
per application, it averages between
18-24 percent, with some applications
achieving as high as 60 percent.
SIZE MATTERS
FREE STANDING SYSTEMS
The compact design of the Prime Rotary Fan
Press® (RFP) integrates easily into any facility
because it does not require structural building
modifications. Its small footprint ranges from 40-80
square feet, making Prime the dewatering system
with the highest throughput per area of floor space.
The Prime Free Standing System adapts easily into
existing or new applications for dewatering. With
several sizes available and model expandability,
the space saving, totally enclosed, low speed
operation allows for easy integration for almost any
application.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
SKID MOUNTED SYSTEMS
Thanks to its compact and self-contained systems,
installation is streamlined, saving time and space.
Each RFP Skid System is pre-wired and preplumbed, ensuring a simple and successful
installation.
CAKE OUT
LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS
The RFP has one of the lowest life cycle costs of
any dewatering equipment available. Slow rotation
(< 1 rpm), combined with minimal moving parts
in each dewatering channel, reduce maintenance
costs, saving you down time — and most of
all money — ensuring a simple and successful
installation.

easy integration into your facility’s system. These
enclosed units offer high throughputs within a
compact space.
MOBILE TRAILER SYSTEMS
Our Mobile Systems give you the flexibility to move
where you need dewatering. Whether you have
more than one facility, service other facilities, or
just need to save on the cost of building a new
facility, we can provide a complete turnkey mobile
system, with trailer sizes ranging from 14' to 53'.
EMULSION POLYMER SYSTEM
The design of the 36" and 48" RFP allows for future
growth at your facility: You can double your current
throughput while still maintaining a small footprint.

HIGH PERFORMANCE • LOW COST
AUTOMATED SELF-CLEANING
Use the automated self-cleaning feature daily
to reduce system maintenance and wash water
consumption, improve dewatering efficiency, and
extend machine life.
FULLY ENCLOSED
Protect operators from odor, noise and exposure to
harmful pathogens and aerosols, as well as protect
the surrounding environment from spills that can
lead to corrosion.
SIMPLE MAINTENANCE
Unlike other dewatering alternatives, the RFP
does not require specialized maintenance. Many
RFP replacement parts are available through local
vendors. Better yet, facility personnel can perform
system maintenance tasks, minimizing downtime
and repair costs.
“In 45 minutes, anyone can figure out the
touch screen. It’s easy to operate. We dreaded
shutting down the old belt press because
it took an hour to restart. This Rotary Fan
Press® is like a light switch. Once I dial it in
and set it up, nothing changes no matter how
often I turn it off and on.”

GREATER HIGHS
SAFE AND EASY
Typical dry cake solids range from 18-26% for
anaerobically digested biosolids, 15-20% for
aerobically digested biosolids, and 20-32% for
mixed primary and secondary sludges.
The simple, robust design of the RFP makes it userfriendly, requiring minimal supervision. A simple
push of a button will quickly startup or shutdown
the system.
The Prime Rotary Fan Press® can handle flows up
to 260 GPM and can produce nearly 4,000 pounds
of dry sludge per hour.
BETTER LOWS
An EPA approved dewatering technology, the RFP
is considered a green dewatering alternative, due
to its minimal electrical energy and wash water
requirements, which provide significant cost savings
while reducing the facility’s carbon footprint.
YOUR PRIME SOLUTION FOR
MUNICIPAL, INDUSTRIAL AND AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS.
Prime Solution meets the biosolids dewatering needs of municipalities and industries that face the
combined pressures of restricted budgets, government performance demands, limited footprint, and
biosolids handling requirements.
LOW POWER REQUIREMENTS 3/4 - 5 HP
(DEPENDING ON MODEL)
Few mechanical parts combined with the slow
revolution of the RFP reduces noise, shear, and
vibration, to increase functionality, minimize
maintenance and improve life cycle costs.

Listed results are typical of applications tested and are not a guarantee. Your results may vary from those listed above. All capacities/loadings depend upon the type of sludge to be dewatered. Primary
sludges typically will dewater faster than secondary sludge’s. For secondary sludge’s derate the dry solids capacity by 30 - 40% as typical for achieving maximum cake dry solids.
