WASTE COMPACTOR WITH LIQUID SEPARATION

摘要

A waste compactor with liquid separation is provided. The waste compactor comprises a wedge wire assembly between a body and a feedscrew, the wedge wire assembly at least partially surrounding the feedscrew along a longitudinal axis. The wedge wire assembly comprises a plurality of wedge wires extending longitudinally along the feedscrew and spaced circumferentially around the feedscrew thereby forming a plurality of gaps there between such that fluid expelled from waste material being processed in the waste compactor can pass through the gaps and out of the body via a drainage aperture.
