Waste Compactors are used to reduce the size and volume of waste materials through hydraulic compaction and crushing. This reduces the number of shipments, offensive odors and the cost of collection. Waste compactors come in many shapes and sizes and are made for many different processes and recycling materials. Compactors mean huge cost savings and increased efficiency in waste treatment. They are reliable compression machines used in the paper and plastic industry as well as the recycling industry. They are users wherever large amounts of waste or recyclable material are produced. For example, the use of press containers after material iron, metal, waste separation using a separator airlock allows the volume of paper and other recyclables to be reduced to 1/6 of the original volume. This saves shipping and disposal costs. Advantages of a press container The volume of paper and other recyclables can be reduced to 1/6 of the original volume by using press containers, for example after material separation by means of a separator lock. The containers thus save on shipping and disposal costs. The working principle of the bale press is similar for the different product categories: a press compresses the waste to one side and the other reconstituted packages located on a box or container.
Manufacturers are certainly the professionals who equip themselves the most with compactors, given the large amount of waste they have to process. Still, it is the equipment of choice for other industries because of its advantages:
Significant increase in waste storage capacities
Simple technique for installation
Offensive odors are retained
No flying waste, no dust, no paper or packaging…
The volume method is 5m cubic or 10, 15 or even 25 cubic m according to the major product categories that are stored by various compression methods.
