When it comes to selecting the best trash compactor for your business, you need to understand the various configuration types available. Trash compactors come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Each one is designed to help compact waste. This, in turn, helps you dispose of larger volumes of waste. Compactors also help you have fewer trash pickups so you are able to reduce your waste management costs.

Self-Contained Compactors

Self-contained compactors typically sit on the ground and are also known as “ground fed” compactors. Waste is deposited directly through the opening on the side of the compactor. Waste may need to be lifted to deposit into the opening.

These models are typically found outdoors behind a business. They may be fenced in to keep others from accessing and using the compactor. This setup is an affordable solution that is quick and easy to implement.

Self-contained compactors are a great choice for restaurants and other such businesses that have liquid and food waste. Odors are contained within the compactor. Plus, they are sealed to prevent liquids from leaking out and onto the ground.

Vertical Compactors

Vertical compactors are similar to self-contained compactors, except the compactor press is vertical instead of horizontal. The compactor can be loaded from the ground, off a dock, or through a wall with an optional chute-fed system add-on.

The primary benefit of a vertical compactor solution is it will fit into a smaller space than a self-contained compactor. For instance, you might have limited space in the alleyway behind your business for a compactor.

A self-contained model would block most of the alley, making it difficult for you to get deliveries. With a vertical compactor configuration, you still have sufficient space for delivery trucks to make deliveries.

Freestanding Compactors

This type of compactor configuration includes several different sizes of compactors. Their key feature is they are easily portable so they can be moved around as needed from one location to another, although you do need the right equipment to lift and move the compactor.

A stationary compactor is one such configuration. This compactor allows for ground loading and compacts waste into a separately attached waste receptacle. They are well-suited for businesses that generate a large volume of waste, including retail stores, hospitals, industrial plants, and grocery stores.

With competitive price and timely delivery, Yuan tai Truck sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

Another freestanding configuration is an apartment compactor. The compactor fits into tight spaces. It can be configured as a front or rear load model. A chute can be attached to the top for easy depositing of waste from a high-rise building. This style also works well for office buildings, hotels, and hospitals with limited trash compactor space.

Indoor Trash Compactors

An indoor trash compactor is designed to fit inside your business. It is used to compact waste down into “cubes” that are easily transported to your dumpster using the included lift cart. The compaction ratio is fifteen bags of trash to one compacted cube of trash. This type of trash compactor solution is perfect for fast food restaurants, schools, hotels, full-service restaurants, small retail operations, cruise ships, and casinos.

Aside from these standard trash compactor options, custom configurations are also available. Sometimes you may have specific needs that require a specific compactor setup to suit your needs. At Global Trash Solutions, we can work with you to develop the most effective compactor solution to fit your specific business, needs, and budget.

Compactor Body Unit Only without Chassis

Refuse Compactor Tank

Garbage Container Type

Curved or rectangular box

Construction

The body is built using a single sheet of hot-rolled, wear-resistant, high-grade steel. It boasts a thickness of 4mm for the bottom and 3mm for the sides, meeting standards equivalent to IS- Grade A or ASTM A36.

Tank Reinforcement

All reinforcements of the body are in the form of “U” shaped braces and full-seam welded on the body sheets, of thickness ST-52/4.0 mm.

Compactor Body

The garbage container’s capacity is determined by the chassis load capacity. It utilizes a hot-rolled steel sheet, measuring 5mm in thickness for the bottom and 4mm for the sides. All body reinforcements are in the form of “U” shaped braces, fully seam-welded onto the body sheets. Additionally, corrugation on the side sheets enhances structural strength.

Hopper

• Loading hopper capacity: Approximately 2 m³ for loose garbage with self-cleaning during discharge.
• Highly abrasion-resistant 6mm steel used for durability.
• The hardness of 450 HB for enduring sweeper and shovel.
• Hopper floor thickness: 6 mm; Hopper sides thickness: 4 mm.

Operation & Control

• The operation is fully automatic –PLC system. The operation is capable of continuous cycle, semi-automatic single cycle, and manually operated. The system is controlled from the PLC control box, which enables, start, stop, 1-
  cycle, continuous cycles, and rescue activities.
• Tailgate and ejector controls are in front of the body. All devices for loading control are mounted on the tailgate right side, and all are manual control for safety purposes.
• Compaction is controlled electrically via push-buttons, and manually in case. There is an emergency stop button on each of side the truck on the control panel.

Painting

• The tank undergoes high-quality spray painting for both its exterior and interior.
• This involves the application of two coats of superior anti-corrosive primer.
• It is then followed by the application of two coats of enamel metal paint, sourced from a reputed brand

Collecting & Compacting

• The loose garbage inside the hopper is taken into the body via a sweeper shovel being actuated by two double-acting hydraulic cylinders, and then after being pushed into the body by two double-acting sled cylinders. The sled cylinders have min. 24 tones pushing force.
• In two-way compression, the compaction ratio (volumetric) varies between 3:1 to 6:1 according to the characteristics of the garbage.

Sliding Rails

• They used steel profiles to guide the compacting system. The compacting panel slides up and down over these rails thanks to a set of wear blocks in four points.

Locking

• Hydraulic locking using the reverse action of two hydraulic tailgate lifting cylinders, also prevents the leakage of wastewater when the truck bounces due to road conditions.

Rail

• The ejector panel glides on a standard steel profile, centered using
  friction-resist bases. The ejector panel slides forward and rear over these rails thanks to a set of wear plates in four points.

Sludge Tank

• Sewage water relieved of sludge tank of capacity under tailgate with leak proof discharging outlet.

Lifting

• The tailgate raise is achieved by two double acting hydraulic cylinders, which must be equipped with safety devices to prevent the tailgate from falling abruptly in the event of hydraulic failure or hose burst.

Container Lifting Device

• Optional lifting device of bin tipper, shovel loader, skip loader, on-ground spacious lifter.
• Bin lifer is available to lift standard 120/240/770 and litre. steel and plastic containers. Lifting weight capacity not less than 800 kg (All lifting device arms and parts are made of High Strength Steel).

Ejection Panel

• There is automatic hydraulic system to allow the panel to forward as garbage is packed against it.

Hydraulic System

• HydraulicValves: It is the core component of the control system, and all hydraulic cylinder actions are regulated through this valve group. The multi-way reversing valve has fine workmanship and small size. The valve stem is made of 40Gr material, which has high precision and wear resistance.
• Hydraulic Cylinders: 9 units of hydraulic cylinders; and telescopic cylinder with 2 extensions. All the hydraulic cylinders are double-acting cylinders, and cylinders are ground and coated against corrosion. The dimensions of cylinders are designed to accomplish the stipulated cycle times and compaction ratio.
