Screw compactor for wastewater treatment
Optimize waste management with a versatile screw compactor designed for efficient dewatering and compaction of solids in wastewater treatment, reducing screenings volume and enhancing operational efficiency across a range of processing environments.

Conveys, Dewaters, and Compacts Waste Material
The WASTECOM CPS Screw Compactor from WAMGROUP is engineered to enhance solid-liquid separation in wastewater treatment plants, catering to municipal, industrial, and food processing environments. This equipment uniquely combines conveying, dewatering, and compacting into one streamlined process, leveraging a shaftless heavy-duty spiral and modular design for reliable and versatile performance. Operating on an intermittent basis, it efficiently reduces waste volume by up to 40%, accommodating various applications such as dewatering sludge cakes and processing food waste.
Its robust construction features a trough made from stainless steel and a high-density polymer liner, ensuring durability and low friction. The absence of intermediate bearings and contact components minimizes wear and maintenance requirements, making it particularly suited for handling fibrous materials without risk of machine locking. With low energy consumption and noise levels, the WASTECOM CPS integrates seamlessly into existing systems, supported by customizable options such as drive guard, control panel, and compaction washing systems, delivering a sustainable solution for modern waste management challenges.
