By compacting and dewatering water-containing rejects, Skjern Paper has significantly reduced both transport and disposal costs – while also creating a more sustainable process where the water is reused in production.

When Systec Plastics Eisfeld replaced their screw presses with six RUNI SK370 screw compactors in the washing line for PE film, the result was significantly lower energy consumption and 50% less moisture in the plastic flakes.

By drying washed plastic film in RUNI's screw compactors, Folldal Gjenvinning reduces energy consumption by up to 150 kW per hour per production line – while bringing the residual moisture down to just 10-15%.
