6 Benefits of Screw Press Compactors

Screw press compactors comprise of a basic unit that is available in three sizes, and is used in all machines. They also have standard or customized accessories to customize the machine to meet the customer’s existing production facility as best as possible.

Screw press compactors are a hydraulic-automatic-feed control system which maintains uniform compacting of materials all the time, without any risks of overloading.

They can quickly and effectively compact different kinds of materials and separate liquids from solids like water from washed plastic. Other benefits these compactors offer are:

1. Saves money

These machines can help save money through fewer pickups, quicker and increased compaction and practically no maintenance.

2. Environmentally friendly

Screw press compactors are green in nature because their minimal power transmission is lost through the electric drive system. Besides, the absence of hydraulic fluid means no EPA problems and minimal mess or spillage on the ground.

3. Minimal staff and handling

The compactors can compact as much as 5 times faster than conventional hydraulic compactors. As they can be fed continuously, the controller needn’t wait for the material to be processed before adding more material.

Besides, the huge capacity and sleek design of screw press compactors make it a feasible option at the start, or the end of a production line. As the start and stop can be controlled manually or automatically with sensors, this in turn helps minimize handling manpower.

This is because there is no need of having an operator in between the separation and final compacting process. All this in turn helps save time, money and manpower while quickening the compaction process.

4. Practically no maintenance

As mentioned above, the machine doesn’t have many parts that constantly move. This in turn means it requires minimal maintenance, as they anyway generally have an automatic lubrication system.

All it may require is the refilling of its grease tank. Machines that are easy to maintain always lead to less downtime, and improved productivity.

5. Clean and efficient

Screw press compactors run rather quietly without problems you usually encounter with hydraulic systems. The absence of hydraulics also means that there is no worry of dangerous spillage that can lead to fines.

6. Smaller footprints

As screw press compactors are smaller in size than other compactors, they easily fit into small spaces while you can still use larger receiver bins. Besides, it being a smaller footprint leads to reduced installation costs, and once again, savings.
