Washer/Compactor Brochure

The Schreiber Washer Compactor washes out organics in a batch sequence and dewaters screenings. Screenings enter the washer section of the unit and are agitated by a rotating shaftless screw while wash water is added. As the screw agitates in forward and reverse motion, organic substances are loosened from the screenings and drain back to the process stream. The washed screenings are transferred over a barrier at one end of the wash trough into the compactor section below. The screenings are subsequently dewatered by the action of a compactor screw and conical discharge. The pressed screenings are then conveyed through a larger diameter discharge pipe.

The Schreiber Washer Compactor is manufactured in three model sizes with inlet lengths ranging from 3’-8” to 7’-10” and screenings capacities of 20 ft3/hr to over 100 ft3/hr.

Once washed and compacted by the Schreiber Washer Compactor screenings material is significantly reduced in both volume and organics, resulting in disposal cost savings. Washed, dewatered, and compacted material will pass the Paint Filter Test for disposal approval.
