Ecopolymer -Â Model KDM-240 -Screw Compactor
The KDM-240 compacts different types of waste, for example, EPS packaging for household appliances in the ratio of 50:1, density at the output is approximately 300 kg/m3. Waste is loaded into a hopper, where it is previously shredded by a two-rotor shredder. Shredding and compacting of materials is then carried out by the screw and tailored barrel.
The driving force of a compactor is a screw. A screw is used to transform the power of rotational movement into horizontal propulsion, which provides a pressing power.
Advantages of a screw compactor:
- continuous compacting of materials;
- high density of materials compacted because of high pressure;
- low energy consumption because of high torque;
- extra heat is not required, friction of materials is used instead.
Screw compactors have two main attributes:
- they compact different types of materials fast and efficiently;
- they separate liquids from solids, for example, water while plastic is washed.
Usually both this attributes are equally necessary and are used simultaneously.
Individual solutions
All screw compactors have a general block, but we can offer customized solutions, that will meet special demands of any manufacturing process. The heart of the unit is a hydraulically operated automated material-feeding control system, which ensures even compacting of all materials without overloading a compactor.
Minimum work for a machine operator
High capacity of a screw compactor and its size make it possible to locate it directly in a processing line or at the end of a production line for convenient materials feeding into a hopper of a compactor.
The great advantages of screw compactors:
- best solutions for a business, which use innovations offered by our engineers, the developments of our company and its broad experience in this field;
- continuous compacting of materials;
- high density of materials compacted because of high pressure;
- low energy consumption because of high torque;
- extra heat is not required, friction of materials is used instead;
- strong, easy to handle, designed for hard work.
The screw compactor for industrial use
- reducing costs for storing and waste transportation through fast and efficient processing;
- minimum energy consumption;
- possibility to earn money selling compacted materials for recycling;
- compactor is an ideal solution for different kinds of polymer dust compacting;
- according to a custom request it can be equipped with different accessories to meet our customers’ production requirements.
