SCREW COMPACTOR - SERCOMP

PRINCIPLE

A ribbon Archimedes screw pushes and presses the refusals through Ø3 m perforated metal sheet of the compacting strainer. At the end of it, a back pressure gate maintains the refusals until it forces its opening.
The drained water is gathered and then headed towards the pump station.

DESIGN FEATURES

The SERCOMP compactor are composed of the following features :

Casing made of stainless steel sheet with a opening corresponding to the working width of the sieve.
In its lower part, a polyethylene double lining reduces frictions and the wear of the screw.

Compacting area with two lateral doors containing the draining drum (strainer) with Ø3 mm perforated metal sheet : length of 500 mm.
In its lower part, this area includes a tubular pipe to retrieve drained water from compacting.

Two diameters available for our Archimedes high-gauge steel screw :150 or 200 mm, according to refusals capacity.

APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS

SERCOMP compactors are usually installed after screening or sieving equipment, in order to reduce the volume of the refusals and their content of water.
For urban application only, SERCOMP ensures a 50% reduction of the volume and a 25 % minimum (30% performance target) of refusals dryness.

OPTIONS

AISI 304 L standard construction, optional 316 L.
Diameter 300 mm for SERCOMP, for huge amounts of refusals to be compacted (after SERTELMAX for example).
Extension of the screw to convoy wastes further.
Automatic bagging system.
