Dewatering & Depackaging

De-packaging and liquid separation is a key process in volume and weight reduction of waste products. The process separates liquid from containers in order for the component parts to be recycled and reused.

Typical applications include: cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, distribution, paper mills, breweries and food & beverage manufacturers. Furthermore, a new application has recently been tried and tested for use in anaerobic digestion plants.

PRM Waste Systems offer several different machines for dewatering and depackaging

The Runi screw compactor is most suited to packaged materials including:

Packaged food waste
PET bottles
Cans
PE film
Cosmetics

The Vincent screw press is for organic, fibrous material such as:

Raw food waste
Fruits and vegetables
Tobacco
Manure
Crops
Paper and pulp

The FLEXIDRY is a food waste depackager that separates organic material from its packaging. FLEXIDRY technology reduces damage to packaging and therefore avoids mixing inerts with the organic matter. Thanks to the PERFORATION-COMPRESSION-SCREENING process, FLEXIDRY requires little preparation of the incoming biowaste and no filtration equipment for the organic matter.
