of measuring devices should not be grounded—do not
hold such devices while taking measurements.
• Prevent personal injury or equipment damage by using
a lifting device with a lifting capacity greater than twice
the weight of any equipment to be lifted.
• Always use personal protective equipment (PPE) ap-
propriate to the situation. This may include the use of
hearing protection, eye protection, a respirator, a hard

Automated Water Extraction
The Freeman water extractor is an efficient, automated tool for extracting water from a
continuously fed product. Product transport is eased with compaction and water removal. A
wide variety of adjustments provide a machine to suit most products.The plunger forces water
from the product. A restriction system is activated only when the plunger is advancing. A control
box switch allows the restriction rail control system to be bypassed so that pressure is applied
continuously for setting pressures, testing, and troubleshooting.
Serial Number Location
The serial number of your water extractor is necessary for correct ordering of replacement parts.
