High-Capacity Washer Compactors Compress More Debris, Save More Money

In wastewater operations, washer compactors perform a deceptively simple function: to reduce debris volume for handling and disposal. But a lot of factors can complicate this process, including atypical wastewater debris, inconsistent debris volumes, and solids that cling to and/or jam the auger.

It was with these challenges in mind that Duperon expanded the capacity of its washer compactor. Using two 10” augers running in counter rotation, the new higher-capacity washer compactor can handle a wide range of debris with minimal jamming and less risk of overflow. It can continuously process up to 450 cubic feet of debris per hour with a peak capacity of 600 cubic feet per hour, which it can maintain for up to two minutes. Although designed for high capacity, the self-adjusting compaction housing allows it to efficiently process debris even at low debris volumes. The Duperon high-capacity washer compactor offers a wide range of benefits to any wastewater operation.
