Rotary Drum Sludge Thickening and Dewatering Machine FTE-1000
Compact, CE-Certified Belt Press Dewatering for Small-Scale Municipal and Industrial Applications
Model: FTE-1000
Belt Width: 1000 mm
Treating Capacity: 12–20 m³/h
Dried Sludge Output: 90–180 kg/h
Product Summary
The FTE-1000 is a rotary drum type sludge thickening and dewatering machine that combines a rotary drum thickener and a belt press in one system. It accepts sludge with inlet consistency of S.S. 0.6–1.5% and produces dewatered cake with water content between 75–85%. With a compact footprint and fully automated operation, it is ideal for small to mid-sized municipal wastewater plants, industrial facilities, paper mills, and printing & dyeing operations requiring continuous sludge dewatering at capacities up to 20 m³/h.
Key Selling Points
Integrated Thickening + Dewatering: Rotary drum thickener pre-concentrates sludge to optimize belt press performance, achieving water content as low as 75%.
Compact 1000 mm Belt Width: Space-saving design ideal for small plants with limited footprint, while still delivering up to 20 m³/h throughput.
SS304 Construction: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel ensures long service life and reduced maintenance.
CE Certified: Complies with EU machinery and EMC directives, with certificate number M.2025.206.C130494, valid until 2030.
Energy-Efficient Motor Package: Total installed power from 0.55 kW driving motor plus drum thickener motor, minimizing operational costs.

FAQ
What is the inlet consistency requirement for the FTE-1000?
The FTE-1000 can handle sludge with suspended solids concentration between 0.6% and 1.5%. For sludge with higher consistency, we recommend pre-dilution.
How much does the FTE-1000 reduce sludge water content?
The dewatered cake typically contains 75% to 85% water, depending on sludge type and polymer dosing.
What is the power consumption of the FTE-1000?
The driving motor is rated between 0.55 kW and 1.1 kW, and there are additional agitator and drum motors. Total installed power is minimal, making it energy-efficient.
Is CE certification available?
Yes, the machinery is CE certified under the Machinery Directive and EMC Directive. The certificate number is M.2025.206.C130494, issued by UDEM, valid until November 2030.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The MOQ is 1 unit. We accept FOB and CIF delivery terms.
What are the payment terms?
Payment terms are 30% deposit in advance and 70% balance before shipment. We also offer factory inspection and pre-shipment inspection.
Can the FTE-1000 be used for industrial sludges?
Yes, it is suitable for municipal, industrial, paper mill, and printing/dyeing wastewater treatment applications.
