WORKING PRINCIPLE

The machine is connected to the Paddle Depacker or other depackaging system. Inside friction between the packaging and the organic material is created by a fast rotating shaft with paddles. During this process liquid can be injected on several positions on top of the machine. The paddles smash the packaging/plastics and force the residual organic pulp through small holes in the screens. The organic fraction is collected in the bottom of the machine and can be pumped into the desired location. This organic liquid fraction can be used in pre-treatment steps or send directly to the storage tank. The clean and dry packaging will be discharged at the end of the machine.
