ABSTRACT:
A sludge processor is provided which enables rapid disassembly and reassembly for changing between a sludge thickener configuration and a press configuration, and for enabling rapid disassembly for cleaning in the press configuration. The processor includes a frame with opposite sides and roller-holding bearing devices at the opposite sides for holding rollers about which a belt extends past a sludge dewatering region. The bearing devices can be arranged in a first configuration (FIG. 2) wherein the belt (12A) extends in an even path, and a second configuration (FIG. 1) wherein the belt extends in a tightly convoluted path so it and material thereon is squeezed between adjacent rollers. The bearing devices (50, FIG. 4) are releasably mounted to the frame sides to enable rapid conversion, and to enable rapid removal of the rollers for cleaning the processor when used in the second configuration. Each side of the frame includes a plate with a hole (60) having a narrow inner part (64) and a wider outer part (62). Each bearing device includes a block (52) with grooves (72, 74), the block fitting into the outer hole part and then sliding into the inner hole part, with the opposite walls of the inner hole part sliding into the grooves of the block. A clamp (82) can be attached to each block to press against the extreme outer side of the hole to hold the bearing device in position.
