Hydra-Extractor®
The Somat Hydra-Extractor component is an integral part of a foodservice waste system comprised of a disposer or remote pulper and a Hydra-Extractor.
After processing, slurry is pumped through a pipeline to the Hydra-Extractor. Most of the water is extracted from the pumped slurry resulting in a semi-dry pulp. The extracted water is recovered and pumped back to the pulper for re-use.
How do Hydra-Extractors Work?
- 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 saving.
