Screw compactor KDM-360
Large screw compactor for large volumes of waste
The screw compactor Ecopolymer KDM-360 is the largest Ecopolymer equipment for compacting foam, plastic, polystyrene, polypropylene. It is recommended for the annual volume of waste processing over 50 tons.
Used foam packaging and packaging materials (such as fish boxes, consumer and digital packaging, etc.) in retail and industry take up a lot of space and require frequent removal. If you regularly accumulate foam plastic waste, this equipment will be an excellent helper for you.
Greater pressing force
The KDM-360 screw compactor is a powerful, versatile piece of equipment that compresses a wide variety of materials, including dense and tough materials (such as hard polymers) that other equipment cannot handle.
Therefore, the screw compactor Ecopolymer KDM-360 solves the problem not only of saving space in the warehouse, but also of saving money on the disposal of foam plastic.
Thanks to the use of a compactor, you can save or even make money on the sale of ready-made compressed blocks.
This screw compactor can compact foam (polystyrene, Styrofoam, EPS) in a ratio of up to 50:1!
In practice, this means that it used to take about 50 trucks to haul away the Styrofoam waste, but now it’s only one truck!!
Saving space, saving costs and the opportunity to earn extra
Thanks to Ecopolymer screw compactor, you can:
– save space in the warehouse;
– reduce costs for waste removal and disposal;
– to make a profit from the sale of ready-made compacted blocks.
Ready-made blocks are easily carried and transported
After passing through the screw compactor, compressed foam takes up much less space and is much easier to transport.
The compactor compresses the foam packaging in a ratio of 50:1‼️
That is, before, it took about 50 trucks to remove foam waste, and now – one truck‼️
Different configurations for a large number of materials
Materials can be loaded manually into the hopper at an angle of 45°. Or in a vertical hopper, using a conveyor belt.
Various built-in sensors ensure easy operation with automatic start and stop function and adjustable speed.
You can also place a compactor under the silo and buy an automatic block divider (guillotine).
Big auger, more power
The larger auger ensures tight pressing of even hard and complex materials.
A more powerful front crusher
For particularly hard and dense materials, a more powerful preliminary crusher can be installed.
It is available in various configurations and engine sizes.
Simple and clear technology
The equipment is equipped with a hopper into which the material is loaded; a preliminary shredder that grinds it; and an auger that presses it into dense blocks (briquettes).
Push-button control greatly simplifies the operation of the equipment
Our equipment can be operated using a programmable control system. You can program, for example, flow control, feed control, automatic shutdown when an empty hopper is detected, etc. operations
The control cabinet greatly simplifies the work with the screw compactor.
Compaction of expanded polypropylene (EPP)
After the foamed polypropylene (EPP) waste enters a powerful shredding unit and under the action of an auger, it will turn into briquetted blocks.
These briquettes can be palletized and sent/sold for recycling, for example 20 tons, by truck or container.
You can see how the pressing process takes place in the video.
