CLOSE-COUPLED PULPERS

Somat Close-Coupled Pulping Systems are stand-alone units comprised of a pulper directly connected to a Hydra-Extractor®. These pulpers provide an economic and efficient answer to cutting the high and ever increasing costs associated with waste handling. Somat Pulping Systems are engineered to reduce foodservice waste volume by an 8 to 1 reduction (up to 85%.) Close Coupled Pulping Systems provide a solution for reducing waste volume at the collection source in situations where facility constraints doesn’t permit more centralized waste collection.

HOW DO CLOSE-COUPLED PULPERS WORK?

Foodservice waste enters the pulper and is mixed with water to create a pulpable slurry comprised of approximately 95% liquid and 5% solids.
The slurry is transported through a short pipeline to the closely attached Hydra-Extractor.
The Hydra-Extractor removes most of the water and the semi-dry pulp is discharged into a container for disposal.
The extracted water is recovered and returned to the pulping tank for re-use, offering significant water saving.
