Abstract

An apparatus for separating substances of different flowability includes a housing base, a hollow drum having a perforated peripheral surface which is arranged on the housing base and is driven in a revolving manner, a continuous press belt pressed from outside against the hollow drum, while wrapping around a portion of the circumference of the hollow drum, and which, together with the hollow drum, forms an intake wedge for the material to be pressed. The press belt is mounted by at least one drive roller and at least one bearing roller, and is distinguished by the fact that the drive roller is mounted on a bearing support. The bearing support is arranged on the housing base so as to be adjustable in terms of position. A corresponding method is also provided for adapting the apparatus.
