Screenings Washer Compactors — Headworks
Clean, compact, and dewater headworks screenings in a single unit — cutting disposal volume, weight, and odor.
What is a Screenings Washer Compactor?
Bar screens capture the rags, plastics, and solids from incoming wastewater — but what comes off the screen is wet, heavy, and foul-smelling. Screenings washer compactors receive those raw screenings, wash out organic material (returning it to the treatment process where it belongs), and compact the remaining material for disposal. The result is a cleaner, drier waste product with significantly reduced volume, weight, and odor — lowering hauling costs and making disposal safer and more manageable for operators.

Applications
Receiving and processing screenings from coarse and fine bar screens
Enclosed processing reduces H2S and odor exposure for operators
Volume and moisture reduction cuts hauling and landfill costs
Wash water returns BOD to the process rather than losing it in the waste stream
