The Compactor is a self-contained helical screw conveyor designed to compact fibrous textile material stripped from self-cleaning air filtration equipment. It mounts directly to the cone outlet of Fine Dust Filter or other stripper filters.
Simple, Low Maintenance Operation
The collected material falls from the stripper filter into the Screw Compactor through an opening above the screw chamber. In a continuous process, the helical screw conveys the fiber and dust to the discharge chamber which incorporates a weighted hinged door. This door provides resistance to the plug of moving material, thereby compacting it. When the dust reaches about five times its normal density, it pushes through the door opening.
