Screw Press for Seaweed Dewatering 

Seaweed presents unique challenges for mechanical size reduction that standard industrial shredders and grinders are not designed to address. Fresh seaweed is tough, fibrous, slippery, and contains significant quantities of water and dissolved salts, while dried seaweed is brittle, hygroscopic, and prone to generating fine dust. Kerone’s Seaweed Shredding and Grinding Systems are specifically engineered to handle both wet and dry seaweed across a wide range of species and moisture contents, using cutting geometries, screen configurations, and drive systems optimized for marine algal biomass. Kerone’s engineering team conducts material characterization tests on client-specific seaweed species before finalizing equipment selection and configuration, ensuring that the system delivered to site is precisely matched to the application. The company’s systems are fabricated from food-grade corrosion-resistant materials with hygienic design principles, making them suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical-grade seaweed processing.
