Benefits
  • Up to 80% volume reduction
  • Reduced labor cost
  • Better sanitation
  • Water conservation
  • Improved operator morale
  • Reduced silverware loss
  • Processes a wide variety of waste

Operation:  Foodservice waste enters the pulping tank via the feed tray where it mixes with water, is processed and made into a slurry.  The slurry, consisting of 5% solids and 95% water, is automatically transported through a pipeline to the Hydra-Extractor, where water is removed and the resultant semi-dry pulp is discharged into a haul-away container.  The extracted water is recovered and returned to the pulping tank for re-use.

Somat equipment provides an economic and efficient answer to cutting the high and ever increasing costs associated with waste handling.  Manufactured by Somat Corporation of Coatsville, Pennsylvania, originators of waste pulping systems and specialist in waste reduction technology.
