The XTS Compactor is a fines recycling system, designed to effectively reduce waste by compacting fines and enabling them to be reintroduced to the mill as reusable chips.
The system sits in line with the mill and only compacts when it is given material. Fines are sent to the compactor via a diverter valve that is connected to the baghouse. The fines are then fed between two large rolls and compacted into a sheet, which is then broken into chips by the breaker unit.
This solution to fines waste can offer a 99.5 % product yield by reducing waste. By eliminating the need to reprocess fines through an extruder, it supports businesses to reach their sustainability targets, reduce cost to landfill waste, and improve production capacity.
