Waste Recovery System
Reduce Costs and Avoid Re-contamination by Reclaiming Startup/Shutdown Product
Wenger's Waste Recovery System (WRS) reclaims wet, under-processed product that cannot be recycled through the dryer as dry re-work. In some instances, the savings for energy, water, and product can easily total more than $100,000 annually.
- Wet, under-processed product from extruder/preconditioner startup/shutdown is reclaimed and added back into the process, eliminating the need for off-premise disposal
- Improve housekeeping in extrusion area by collecting fines discharging from the preconditioner
- Improve operator comfort by reducing steam and product fines discharging from preconditioner
- Extend life of preconditioner bearings and seals by removing excess steam in the preconditioner
- Generate hot water for liquefying step, process water, or other unit operations
Wenger also offers a "mini" WRS for capturing emissions from the preconditioner vent, preventing a possible source for contamination.
