Somat Remote Pulping Systems offer maximum flexibility. A remote system connects food prep and scrapping areas together through a series of piping and transports food service waste to a remotely located extractor. The extractor removes the solids (pulp) and recirculates the water back to the grinding tanks. The pulp is fed into a Somat Dehydrator for additional reduction or directly into a haul away container. A remote pulping system reduces the need for trash cans, liners and laborers to “take out the trash.”
Foodservice waste enters the single or multiple pulpers (up to 15 pulpers on the system), is processed then mixed with water to create a pulpable slurry comprised of approximately 95% liquid and 5% solids.
The slurry is pumped through a pipeline to a remotely located 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.
