De Olifant, Burdaard Each revolution of the screw lifts of water. The drive to the Archimedes' screw that pumps water into the polder is from a 38-cog gear wheel meshing with the "great spur wheel". This drives a 25 stave gear wheel which drives a "wallower" (30 cogs). The "wallower" drives a gear wheel with 31 cogs. This drives a cast iron gear wheel with 48 teeth. This drives the Archimedes' screw via a cast iron gear wheel with 60 cogs on the axle of the Archimedes' screw. This Archimedes' screw has an axle diameter of and is diameter overall. It is inclined
Dewatering screw press One modern approach even removes the screen in favor of a system of fixed and moving rings, which often eliminates solids buildup entirely. The most commonly known screw press of this design is said to have been invented by famous Greek mathematician Archimedes and is known as the screw conveyor. The screw conveyor consists of a shaft, which is surrounded by a spiral steel plate, similar in design and appearance to a corkscrew. This design is used in a multitude of screw presses. There are some machines of this and also of similar design that are not screw presses at
