Sod peat production involves the use of screw press machines. Although the designs of such machines differ in details, they have a number of similar parameters including the highest power intensity throughout the entire production cycle. Sod peat forming conditions are investigated in order to reduce the process energy intensity without losing sod density and, therefore, strength. Laboratory experimental dispersion and moulding of peat are done with a screw press having five speeds, three interchangeable nozzles and two screws with different step of turns. The moisture of the feedstock, the effective power and capacity of the press, the specific energy of the process are determined. The findings show that the most rational operating modes of a screw press consist in the blend of screw rotation speed, nozzle diameter and step of screw turns.
