GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SOMAT® system prepares solid waste materials for disposal by transforming the
materials, with water, into a pulp. This transformation takes place in a unit called a Pulper
which is designed to pulp all forms of paper, plastic, cardboard and food waste. The waste
material is fed manually or automatically to the Pulper. The continual down flow of water
and the rotation of the Pulper impeller create a strong vortex action which pulls the waste
down against the cutting blades of the impeller. The resultant slurry is then forced through
a perforated stainless-steel Sizing Ring surrounding the impeller.
