Description

“RUNI SK240 screw compactor is the smallest of the RUNI machines that can dewater and separate solids from liquids.The SK240 can dewater expired or wrongly labeled products or any other products that require destruction for whatever reasons. These products include aluminum cans, PET bottles, Tetra-Pak, cosmetics, etc.

When the machine separates, compacts, and creates two waste streams in one continuous process, the liquid is pressed out through a matrix and can go directly into the drain or (if edible) be collected and used for animal feed or sent to anaerobic digestion plants for the production of biogas. The compacted packaging material is slowly pushed out of the exit chute and can easily be collected in containers. After compacting, the packaging becomes so dry that it can be sent to incineration at a lower cost or sold for recycling. Installing the compactor close to the production area helps increase the certainty of carrying out the destruction. It saves costs on manual handling, storage, and transportation.

The SK240 is suitable for drying rejects from plastic washing plants and dewatering wet stickers and labels. Anaerobic digestion plants can also benefit from the SK240 as it can dewater the reject from food waste and squeeze out extra biomass for the pulper. Dewatering the reject with a RUNI SK240 makes the reject dry enough for incineration instead of ending up as an expensive and polluting waste at a landfill.”
