Optimize Your Waste Handling with Luwa's Screw Compactor

The efficient disposal of waste material such as dust and fibres is crucial for maintaining clean, safe, and productive environments. Luwa’s Screw Compactor offers a smart, space-saving, and economical solution for compacting and conveying waste, seamlessly integrating with any dust and fibre separating unit. This innovative system is designed to automatically transfer separated waste to a central disposal point, significantly reducing manual intervention and ensuring hygienic operations.

The Screw Compactor operates by receiving waste material, which is then gripped by a worm shaft and propelled through a confined tube. A pneumatic cylinder controls the compaction pressure by adjusting clamping jaws at the tube exit, resulting in tightly compacted waste with minimal volume and zero dust emission.

Key Features of Luwa Screw Compactor

Continuous, Automatic Waste Disposal - Integrates easily with upstream dust/fibre filters, enabling automated 24/7 waste conveyance without manual collection.
Volume Reduction Through Compaction - Achieves a compacting factor of 2 to 3, reducing overall waste volume and simplifying disposal logistics.
Dust-Free Operation - Designed to contain dust within the compacted waste, enhancing workplace air quality and cleanliness.
Bag-Free System - Eliminates the need for frequent bag replacement, cutting down on operational costs and environmental waste.
Flexible Conveyance Angle - Capable of transporting waste material at an upward slope of up to 30°, offering flexibility in system design and plant layout.
Seamless Integration - Easily integrates with Luwa’s fine dust collection systems for optimal performance.

Labor Savings - Automated waste handling reduces manual intervention, enabling better manpower utilization.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly - Supports green manufacturing practices by reducing plastic bag usage and energy demand.

How Screw Compactor Works?

The Screw Compactor operates through a simple yet highly efficient mechanism. Dust and fibres from upstream separation units are directed into the compactor, where they are seized by a rotating worm shaft (screw conveyor). This shaft moves the waste forward through a specially designed conveying tube. At the tube’s exit, a pneumatic cylinder controls a set of clamping jaws that create back pressure, compacting the waste as it passes through. This ensures that the discharged material is tightly packed, significantly reducing its volume while fully containing any dust. The entire process is continuous, enclosed, and automated, providing a clean and efficient method of waste handling with minimal manual intervention.
