Which Machine to Choose?

The RUNI screw compactors for dewatering come in two different sizes: The SK240 and the SK370. Which to choose depends on the capacity needed and the size of the material.

The SK240 is suitable for handling packaging sizes up to 1 liter. It can dewater 7.000 aluminum cans containing 33 cl, 5.000-litre Tetra-Pak, or 5.000 0,5 liter PET-bottles.

With the SK240, the following densities of these compacted packaging materials can be reached:

• Alu cans: 400 kg/m3
• Tetra-Pak®: 500 kg/m3
• PET-bottles: 225 kg/m3

The same machine can dewater different materials, but they must be sorted before entering the RUNI if you want to sell the dry packaging for recycling.

The SK240 is available with a standard vertical hopper or conical hopper. Customized hoppers can also be made. The compactor can be fed manually, via a conveyor, or with a tip-container.

Benefits of the SK240:

• Easy destruction of faulty or expired products. The machine separates and compacts in one continuous flow.
• Save space and handling costs through rapid and efficient waste management.
  • Compaction rate of PET bottles: 8:1.
  • Compaction rate of aluminum cans: 20:1
• Profit from selling separated liquid and compacted packaging.
• Decreasing costs associated with bringing rejects to landfill, as they can now be sent to incineration with a much lower water content. The weight of the waste is also reduced, decreasing the transportation costs.
• The amount of manual labor associated with handling the waste can be reduced.
