Headworks Introduces the ScrewpactorHD

Headworks® is proud to announce the addition of its heavy-duty shafted spiral compactor to its line of screens and screenings handling equipment, the ScrewpactorHD™.

For over 15 years, Headworks has constantly worked on continuously improving its standard Screwpactor™, used in the wastewater treatment industry for dewatering screenings and reducing solid volumes. Building on the Screwpactor's reliable performance over the years, the company's award-winning engineering team is now bringing to the market an upgrade designed to withstand extreme wastewater screenings handling conditions. The more robust spiral, higher torque, sealed double thrust bearings, and other proprietary features make this new compactor virtually indestructible!

Some plants experience high concentrations of large debris, such as bricks, two by fours, baseball bats, gravel, and even sheets and pillows if the treatment plant happens to be downstream of a prison where the residents find endless enjoyment from stopping up the toilets! Plants that treat storm water can be particularly challenged if the rain runoff is carrying trash from ditches along. These challenges called for equipment that was previously unavailable.
