The Somat Hydra-Extractor is an integral part of a pulping system. The Hydra-Extractor dewaters the waste stream and recirculates the water back to the pulpers and food grinders. Somat offers several sizes and configurations to provide solutions for almost any size project.
Foodservice waste enters the pulper, is processed then mixed with water to create a pulpable slurry comprised of approximately 95% liquid and 5% solids.
The slurry is transported through a pipeline to the Hydra-Extractor.
Using a specialized brushed screw augers and cylindrical screen, 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 savings.
