Banner Auspicios Expo Acte

Turn bulky waste into space, savings, and new income opportunities.

RUNI A/S, a Danish manufacturer of high-quality screw compactors with over 50 years of experience in machinery construction, will be present at Aquasur 2026 to demonstrate how to handle used expanded polystyrene (EPS) fish boxes more efficiently. Processing plants face the constant challenge of managing large volumes of boxes, and RUNI offers a practical solution that many operations around the world rely on.

RUNI compactors shred and compact the boxes at a ratio of up to 50:1, transforming bulky EPS into dense, easy-to-handle blocks. In practical terms, material that previously required 50 trucks can now be transported in a single truck: one truck can carry up to 20 tons of compacted EPS. This frees up space, reduces disposal and transportation costs, and allows the blocks to be sold for recycling, turning waste into a source of income.

The benefits in daily operations are clear: less manual labor, improved workflow, and less hassle with materials.

The compactors are designed for continuous operation in demanding environments and come with a 2-year factory warranty. With capacities ranging from 18 to several hundred kilograms per hour, there is a solution for operations of all sizes. Automated operation and integrated sensors make them easy to use and reduce labor and downtime. Their modular design allows the equipment to be adapted to production needs, offering flexibility and long-term value.

Seafood processors around the world rely on RUNI compactors to efficiently handle their EPS boxes. Users report significant savings in storage and transportation, tidier facilities, and the added benefit of turning waste into a valuable resource for recycling.

For operations looking to improve waste management, reduce costs, and keep production running 24/7, RUNI offers a proven and practical solution. RUNI invites all fishing industry operations wishing to improve their waste management and increase their profitability to visit their stand at Aquasur.
