What is one benefit of using screenings presses?

Using screenings presses provides the significant advantage of reducing storage and disposal costs. Screenings, which include unwanted materials such as plastics, rags, and other debris removed from wastewater, can take up valuable space and contribute to increased waste management expenses. When screenings are compacted using a screenings press, their volume is significantly reduced. This compaction not only minimizes the space required for storage but also lowers transportation and disposal costs, as smaller volumes of material are more cost-effective to handle.

Additionally, reducing the volume of screenings before disposal can lead to lower landfill fees and the potential for recycling certain material types, further contributing to overall cost savings. By employing screenings presses, wastewater treatment facilities can operate more efficiently, facilitating better management of waste materials and leveraging economic benefits.
