With complete waste recovery from rejected production, DWR+ ensures economical use of raw materials and efficient production. DWR+ from Decouflé is a comprehensively revised version of the direct waste recovery system (DWR) for cigarettes, cigars, and cigarillos. It is available as either an online or stand-alone system.
DWR+ offers improved sieving that enables manufacturers to reuse up to 96% of rejected products and is compatible with all makers. The system is capable of processing rejected production from several plants simultaneously and saving significant quantities of raw materials. For example, when used in the production of king size cigarettes it can recover up to 45 kg of tobacco per hour, so the system pays for itself very quickly.
In an online environment, DWR+ reclaims the individual blend during recovery and immediately returns the tobacco for processing. This ensures traceability throughout the production process. Even special products such as menthol cigarettes are easy to recycle.
An electromagnetic vibrating sieve gently separates the tobacco from the paper and filter components and sends it directly back to the hopper. The amplitude of the vibration can be adjusted to minimize degradation of the tobacco and optimize sieving results. Vibration, dust, and noise have been reduced to a minimum in the DWR+. Low maintenance and easy access to wearing parts also contribute to cutting overall operating costs.
