Mechanical dewatering

Reliable mechanical dewatering with the industry’s most favored bark press

Mechanical dewatering allows more efficient use of various biomasses and ensures a more energy-efficient burning process

Mechanical dewatering is a cost-effective solution for paper and pulp mills, as well as production plants that handle large bark flows. The result of long-term design development, Saalasti Press is the most popular mechanical bark press on the market. The Saalasti Press bark press makes mechanical dewatering reliable and efficient.

With Saalasti’s extensive experience in the industry and state-of-the-art expertise, our machines guarantee reliable mechanical dewatering

Expert maintenance and support services

Cost-effective, flexible and long-lasting solutions

Better processing of various kinds of biomasses

Increased calorific value and energy efficiency of the materials.
Compression distributes the moisture evenly throughout the material, allowing for easier boiler adjustment.
Compression also increases the density of the material, which in turn facilitates further processing.

Continuous development and materials testing ensure you can continue to gain the full benefit of material flows as they change over time

We work closely with our customers to continually test and further improve the handling of new material flows with various Saalasti machines

Mechanical dewatering reduces the carbon footprint and operating costs of power plants

Mechanical dewatering is a highly cost-effective solution for production facilities, enabling even more extensive use of materials and lower harmful emissions.

Mechanical dewatering of various kinds of biomass reduces the water content and increases the calorific value. Drier and more energy efficient biomasses reduce the need for auxiliary fuels, thereby significantly cutting production plant operating costs and the carbon footprint.
