RDF, MSW, Screen Rejects, and Recycling Applications.
The D-RAM press is designed to extract liquids from various industrial by-products and commonly used packaged products and beverages. Initially developed in 1992, the D-RAM was specifically engineered to drain wet rejects from the pulp and paper industry, which operates continuously and unattended.
Over the past 30 years, the D-RAM has been tested in over 25 industrial sectors, proving to be the best-performing, most efficient, and most reliable ram press available. Our technology’s unique capability to handle a variety of materials with low energy consumption, operating in batches, ensures minimal maintenance. The D-RAM press efficiently dewaters and compresses materials such as grinding swarf, fiberglass waste, and plastic recycling rejects.
The machine is designed to minimize upkeep expenses, ensuring cost-effective operation over its lifespan.
Customize the machine with features and add-ons for improved versatility and functionality.
The machine employs straightforward, reliable technology ensuring easy operation and fewer errors.
Made entirely from stainless steel, the machine ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and hygiene standards.
In today’s industries, effective waste management is more than just a compliance requirement — it’s a vital part of achieving sustainable operations and cutting costs. Our advanced dewatering solution is designed to streamline waste-handling processes across multiple sectors, transforming excess moisture-laden waste into drier, lighter, and more manageable material. With its high efficiency and adaptable design, our dewatering technology optimizes waste reduction in a wide array of industries, from pulp and paper to wastewater treatment.
Our dewatering solution isn’t just about waste management – it’s about optimizing processes, reducing costs, and supporting sustainability goals across sectors. Whether your industry involves organic byproducts, plastics, biomass, or mineral waste, our technology provides a tailored approach to waste reduction, offering you a smarter, more sustainable way to manage waste.
Enables the recycling and reuse of dry rejects as an alternative fuel source.
A high compaction ratio leads to up to 60% savings on transport and disposal costs.
Optimizes efficiency by integrating Effluent Treatment Plants and water reuse systems.
Meets all regulatory requirements for the proper discharge of effluents.
Minimizes the space usage by reducing the area required for sorting reject materials.
Our high-efficiency dewatering machine uses advanced technology to quickly and effectively separate solids from liquids. Built for durability and dependable performance, it provides precise moisture reduction to streamline your workflow and improve efficiency.

1. Rejects enter the hopper.
2. The sensor detects material, sends information to the main control, and the ram moves forward.
3. The press plate moves forward, compacting the material in the dewatering channel.
4. The compacted material will be held under pressure in steps to allow the liquid to drain from the inside of the material outwards.
5. Dried solids move forward and will act as a plug when the machine takes a new load of material.
6. The material clamp ensures the machine holds the material when needed and releases it when a new load has been fed.
7. Dried solids are pushed out of the machine and can be further processed.
8. Drained liquid is caught in the collection pan and can be treated in a wastewater plant or recycled.
