Dewatered paper reject

De-watering reject from industrial production

  • From waste to fuel by increasing dry matter content
  • Save disposal-site costs – either by delivering a drier product or by finding alternative solutions
  • Reduce waste amounts and transport costs by removing water from reject material

Before waste paper can be converted into recycled paper, all undesirable material must be separated out. This reject has a high water content and it can be compacted and de-watered using the  RUNI Screw Compactor.

Draining in a RUNI Screw Compactor reduces the water content of the reject from 65 % to 35 %, making it dry enough for use as combustible material in energy production, instead of ending in a landfill. The lower water content also means lower transport costs. The drained water can be recycled in the separation process.
