A discharge extension option from Duperon is designed to reduce energy usage, along with debris hauling and maintenance costs. The option pairs with a washer compactor to transport compacted debris collected by a bar screen up to 40 feet in any direction, even vertically, without the energy usage and layout challenges of a traditional motorized conveyance system. The discharge extension option relies on gravity for resistance. The result is consistent, effective compression through a customized chute, acting as a conveyor to guide the debris plug to a different location inside or out of the building. Debris forms into a column that is routed by the vertical chute. The weight of the plug column provides the resistance for additional compaction. Since the debris is nearly fully compacted prior to its arrival in the chute, vertical elevations are achieved with little or no further resistance. 800-383-8479; www.duperon.com
