C.200 and C.200 Duo These Weima drainage presses remove moisture from a wide range of shredded and chipped materials, including plastic rejects and fines. Depending on the material, a compression ratio of 10-to-1 is possible. Residual moisture in the dewatered material is about 3 percent. The machines are delivered ready to be plugged in and operate. The C.200 press can handle up to 2.6 cubic yards per hour; throughput for the C.200 Duo is double that—at 5.2 cubic yards per hour.
What’s new? The line of drainage presses. On both, output material is pressed into discs with a diameter of about 7.9 inches.
Benefits The generation of drier material that is easier to recycle or less expensive to haul away, improving recycling efficiency and reducing environmental impact. The built-in PLC control connects the presses to processing machine so they run only when material is input. The presses work with a hydraulic ram instead of an auger or other moving parts, which eliminates jamming. Height-adjusting feet help to integrate the presses, which can fit under all standard conveyors, into processing lines.
