SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR MECHANICALLY REMOVING LIQUID FROM MATERIAL

Abstract: a system for dewatering a material comprising a slitter, wherein the slitter receives the material, separates the material into a plurality of clumps, and deposits the plurality of clumps of material substantially evenly on a conveyor belt. the conveyor belt is partially porous to allow water to pass through but preventing material from passing through. the conveyor belt is operable to convey the material from the slitter to a compression zone; the compression zone comprises at least one high pressure press. the compression plates engages the material positioned on the conveyor belt. at least one knife positioned proximate the at least one compression plate operable to remove material from the bottom surface of the at least one compression plate after a compression cycle; and at least one drain positioned under the conveyor belt to carry water removed from the material away from the conveyor belt.
