Dewatering Systems & Liquid Drainers

Liquid Removal and Dewatering Systems for Cleaner Recycling Operations

REI proudly supplies and integrates Strautmann dewatering LiquiDrainer® systems, the industry standard for separating liquids from packaging, organics, and production waste. Designed for high performance and reliability, these systems drastically reduce disposal costs, prevent contamination, and prepare materials for efficient baling or transport. Built for demanding recycling, food, and manufacturing environments, Strautmann liquid drainers deliver consistent, low-maintenance operation with exceptional ROI.

Strautmann LiquiDrainer® Dewatering Solutions

We’re a US distributor and installer of Strautmann’s LiquiDrainer® Dewatering Screw Press, which  combines durable design with proven performance. It removes liquids from cans, PET bottles, and other packaging in a single step, making them cleaner, lighter, and ready for downstream recycling or compaction. REI integrates these systems into complete material handling solutions your facility may need to ensure smooth operation and maximum throughput.

Designed for Cleaner, More Efficient Recycling

For recycling operations handling wet packaging, food waste, or beverage containers, excess liquid can slow production, add unnecessary disposal weight, and create sanitation issues. Strautmann dewatering systems from REI are engineered to remove liquids efficiently at the source, reducing waste weight, preventing leaks, and creating a cleaner, safer environment across your recycling facility.

Each LiquiDrainer system is built to fit your process flow, whether integrated into a conveyor line or paired with a baler or compactor. These systems minimize contamination, control odor, and improve overall recycling quality. The result is a cleaner, more efficient operation with measurable ROI from day one.
