Industrial Dewatering Screw Press for Paper and Plastic Waste Compaction
.
The Challenge: Reducing High Volume & Weight of Wet Waste
A facility in the packaging industry needed an efficient method to drain and compress mixed paper and plastic waste streams. The goal was to significantly reduce the material’s water content, weight, and overall volume before landfill disposal, minimizing transport and tipping fees.

The Solution: High-Compression Dewatering Screw Press
We manufactured a robust Dewatering Screw Press designed for effective solid-liquid separation of heterogeneous waste materials.

- Compression Mechanism: The core auger design forces wet waste material along a tapering barrel, physically squeezing out the water.
- Adjustable Dewatering: The unit features a specialized centripetal discharge flap at the outlet. This innovative mechanism allows the operator to precisely adjust the back-pressure, controlling the final dryness and density of the compressed material.

The Result: Significant Cost Savings and Volume Reduction
The implementation of the screw press drastically reduced the water weight of the waste, making disposal more economical. The resulting compressed ‘pucks’ are dense and manageable, optimizing logistics and delivering measurable ROI through reduced landfill transport costs.
