Dewatering of solids material processed during treatment plant operations is critical to the overall operating costs of the facility. The JDV Compactor product line offers two reliable and proven designs to dewater material with product designs focused on helping operators and maintenance personal in Municipal and Industrial treatment facilities keep initial capital costs and ongoing operating costs down.
JDV RAM Compactor
The JDV RAM Compactor provides reliable dewatering and cleansing of water and wastewater treatment screenings. The standard 304 Stainless Steel compact construction prevents corrosion in a heavy duty design while taking up minimal square footage. The JDV RAM Compactor provides aggressive cleaning of material prior to the compaction zone. Material discharged through the integral discharge pipe has been compacted to remove 30% of all organic or fecal matter and is designed to reduce overall weight of bar screenings. The JDV RAM Compactor is an effective headwork's product helping treatment plant managers and operators meet or exceed landfill requirements and/or paint filter testing, while reducing overall operating costs.

JDV Spiral Press
The JDV Spiral Press combines dewatering, compacting and conveying operations in a single, compact product for wastewater screenings and miscellaneous debris and material processed in paper mills, food processing plants and rendering facilities.
A drainage zone at the feed end drains free water as solids are conveyed through the system. The compaction zone forms the material into a plug that is squeezed against an adjustable pressure spring-loaded door, which further dewaters and compresses the material against a wedge wire "cage". The resultant liquids are drained off to return into plant flow. The end product of plugged solids is periodically expelled into a bagging system or container.
