Compactors

Industrial compactors are machines that compact materials to reduce the volume of waste. But this term is also used to describe any type of machinery with this function, from trash compactors to large and heavy machinery vehicles used to compact the soil in a construction site.

Here at Waste Initiatives, when we’re talking about compactors, we’re talking about machines that help deal with waste.

The main function of this type of waste management machine is driven by a large ‘ram’ that crushes rubbish or recycling materials. This motion is often powered through electricity or a liquid pump system called hydraulics (which would make this a hydraulic ram). To operate, fill through the aperture and then switch on to crush.

Only authorised staff who have received training should use a waste compactor, to reduce the risk of danger or injury. Never place your limbs within the machine to dislodge materials in the compacting machine.

For dry waste: select Stationary or Integrated Compactors
These machines are suitable for dry waste, where there is either no or only a marginal amount of liquid involved. This is as they only have a limited capacity to hold any liquid waste. They can also come in automatic models, for easy operation that requires less employee training.

For site contamination concerns & liquid waste: select Integrated Compactors
Integrated compactors are suited for general waste where liquid and spills are unavoidable or wet waste, with facilities to store and process liquids. This makes them ideal for eliminating contamination on the site.

For transfer stations: select Transfer Compactors
Designed to deal with bulky materials and high volume period waste expected in transfer stations.

For skip bins: select Roll Packers
Roll packers use a rolling function to crush bulky waste materials such as timber pallets and crates within an open skip waste bin.

For retail stores: select Roto Compactors or Vertical Balers
Roto compacting machines make it easier to compact cardboard boxes frequently used for store deliveries, with an opening at shoulder height. Staff can also continue to fill while dry waste is crushed as the compacting arm rotates.

For expanding your bin capacity: select Waste presses
These compacting machines speedily press waste within a garbage bin or over a garbage bag. A great solution for those who want to make the most of their bins/waste removal capacity.
