The depackaging machine DRM separates food waste and packaging without adding water or liquid. Only in the case of very dry organic waste a minimal addition of liquid through integrated nozzles can improve the processing performance.
This is how our separation and depackaging systems achieve their high efficiency, and the low-resource separation saves twice:
- On the one hand, because hardly any water needs to be used for separation and thus the organic concentration of 20% is very high.
- On the other hand, a high organic concentration for biogas production means a lower investment in the fermenter, as it can be designed smaller.
- Further dewatering of the packaging can be carried out by our press screw. The recovered organic matter is also fed into the fermenter.
This is the only way to achieve a high economic efficiency with our separation and depackaging systems for organic and food waste.
