Water treatment systems

Water treatment systems and sludge compactors for sustainable processes

At Aufer Solutions, we develop innovative solutions for the treatment, clarification, and reuse of water in industrial printing processes. Our systems are designed to reduce water consumption, optimize production efficiency, and minimize environmental impact.

In addition, we have sludge compactors that reduce the volume of waste generated in the treatment process, resulting in cleaner, more sustainable, and more profitable operations.

Industrial water treatment with advanced technology

LMG Green water treatment and clarification systems use patented, automated technologies that do not require chemical additives or constant manual intervention.

Thanks to their modular solutions, they are ideal for companies in the graphic and industrial sectors that seek efficiency and sustainability without sacrificing performance.

“STARLIGHT” water purification system

The STARLIGHT system is a European patented technology that allows water to be extracted and clarified from mixtures containing ink, varnishes, or emulsions, without the need for chemicals.

Key features

  • No chemicals or consumables: No flocculants, disposable filters, or external additives required.

  • 24/7 automatic operation: Operates continuously without staff supervision.

  • Superior performance: Processes over 500 liters per hour with high operational stability.

  • Pure residue: The residue obtained corresponds exclusively to the primary product.

  • Activated carbon option: Allows clarified water to be discharged into the municipal network in compliance with environmental regulations.

Operational advantages

  • Drastic reduction in water consumption.

  • Minimal maintenance.

  • High reliability even under demanding conditions.

  • Ideal for flexographic, rotogravure, and offset processes.

DEPUR 800

Part of a machine

The DEPUR 800 system is designed to reduce the volume of sludge generated in water purification processes through vertical mechanical compression, recovering part of the purified water and drastically reducing disposal costs.

Key advantages

  • Reduction of sludge volume by up to 40%.

  • Reuse of purified water in the same process.

  • Sturdy painted steel structure with the option of a stainless steel collection tank.

  • Optional “big bag” filtration system for purifying water.

  • Automatic operation and easy maintenance.

Optional extras

  • Purified water delivery pump.

  • Sludge collection tank with integrated purification system.

Frequently asked questions about water treatment and sludge compactors

Does the STARLIGHT system require chemicals to operate?

No. It works without additives or consumables, separating contaminated water naturally using patented technology.

Yes. The clarified water can be reused directly or discharged into the network after an optional activated carbon step.

Very low. The systems are designed to operate automatically and require only basic periodic cleaning.

Both units feature a compact, modular design, easily adapting to confined spaces in industrial plants.

Yes. LMG Green systems are designed to work in conjunction with washers and distillers, optimizing the overall efficiency of the process.
