The ECOVIShas been constructed for the safe and practical collection of coarse waste from pulper cleaning machines (Pere, Hydropurge, Containers, etc.), to make handling easier and, at the same time, to avoid contaminating surrounding areas. The machine consists of a semicircular inclined collector and control system support framework, both in AISI 304L or 316L stainless steel. There are perforated plates in the lower part ofthe collector which allow the discharged water and the impurities to drain away. A shaftless screw in very thick carbon steel is mounted inside the collector. Because the ECOVIS is so versatile, it will reduce the cost of constructing waste disposal systems as it facilitates the feeding of the compactors which, in their turn, significantly reduce the volume of contaminants and the amount of water they contain, making disposal costs considerably less. The machine can be mounted either horizontally or inclined with a variable slope of up to 30° in a fixed or adjustable position. Size and lightness mean that the ECOVIS can be installed in small spaces without the requirement for foundation work. The ECOVIS is constructed in different sizes and can be adapted to suit all types of installations and working conditions. A detailed study is made of every application in order to adapt it to plant requirements and to define the assembly and work programmes. The machine is delivered ready for operation and comes complete with a motorised reduction gear and control panel with programmable operating functions.
