RUNI Dewatering Equipment

The RUNI SK240 Screw Compactor can also be used as a dewatering/depackaging screw for PET bottles and ALU cans; The screw is adapted for this application which makes it possible to put full containers into the hopper and separate the PET or ALU from the contents.
This process optimises the recyclable value of the containers and allows the fluid to be disposed of in an environmentally conscious way.
The high pressure in a RUNI Screw Compactor is unsurpassed for separating liquids from dry matter. Due to the screw’s high moment, the process is often more efficient and uses less energy than many traditional methods such as centrifuging or heat drying. The liquid is pressed out through a matrix that is especially adapted to the material and the application. This property can be used for a number of interesting applications and RUNI has supplied solutions for the dewatering, draining, drying, separation and destruction of a wide range of products and materials.
