Compactors

 
The term ’compactors’ refers to equipment that is designed to compress waste in order to improve storage and transport efficiency.
We operate three types of compactor units:
Mobile Compactor Units

Mobile compactor units are vehicles with fixed compacting equipment and are available in Front-End-Loader, Rear-End-Loader and Side Loader configurations.
 
Service offered:
  • Customised service for storage, removal and transport of dry, compactable waste
  • Suited to routine frequent collections of small volumes
  • Used by municipalities, private contractors and industrial operations
  • Smaller containers facilitate convenient waste collection at strategic points within the client’s premises
  • We offer flexibility of service:
    • Call for service
    • Regular service
    • Daily
    • Weekly
    • Monthly
    • As required.
Benefits:
  • Compacting waste at the point of generation
  • Reducing transport costs and increasing cost efficiencies
  • Selection of container sizes:  240 Litre Wheeliebins, 2 m3, 5.5 m3, or 6 m3 containers - to suit the client’s needs
  • Strategic placement of containers - to suit the client’s needs
  • Facilitates frequent services on pre-arranged days
  • Lids and locks can be provided for FEL and REL containers.
Front-End-Loader Mobile Compactor Unit
This unit is designed for fast efficient collections. The driver has full control of the operation from the driver’s seat and is able to empty bins in even the tightest spots. This means the vehicle is able to offer a fast collection service at strategic points along a route through the client’s premises, which means the client does not waste time, effort and money shifting waste to a central collection point.

Bins are approached from the front of the vehicle, lifted up and over the cab and tipped into the receptacle on top, where it is compacted under mechanical pressure.

The FEL is designed to collect waste in 2 m3, 5.5 m3 , or 6 m3 containers.
Rear-End-Loader Mobile Compactor Unit
The Rear-End-Loader vehicle is very efficient along linear routes assisted by one or more operators. These units are used for the collection of compactable domestic, commercial and industrial waste.

Bins are approached by the rear of the vehicle, lifted and tipped into the receptacle area at the back, where it is compacted under mechanical pressure.

The REL is designed for a wide range of containers including 240 Litre Wheeliebins, 2 m3, 5.5 m3, or 6 m3 containers. The REL can also be used to collect waste in refuse bags, provided these are manually deposited into the receptacle.


Side-Loader Mobile Compactor Unit

 

Static Compactor Unit

 

The Static Compaction System is made up of two parts:
  • the compaction unit, which is fixed, and
  • the waste container, which is portable.
The Compaction Unit is installed permanently on site, while the waste container is removed by a hooklift (Roll-On Roll-Off vehicle) when it is full and swapped with an empty container. Fireproof and completely sealed units can be supplied. The system is designed for clients with large volumes of dry compactable waste. Containers are available in 11 m3, 15 m3 and 27 m3 .

Service offered:
  • Customised system design to suit the nature and volume of waste;
  • Installation and commissioning of the system on the client’s site;
  • Provision of on-site supervisors or training of client’s staff to operate the system;
  • Full service and maintenance contract;
  • Flexible service schedule, regular or call for service.
Benefits:
  • Client can compact his own waste, reducing storage and transportation costs significantly;
  • Reduces windscatter;
  • Reduces pilferage and associated risks;
  • No capital expenditure;
  • No maintenance responsibility;
  • Peace of mind through on-site management service.
Portable Compactor Unit

 

The portable compactor unit is similar to the Static Compactor Unit in that it also has a compactor mechanism and a waste receptacle, but the two elements are inseparable. This unit is appropriate when

  • the disposal site is nearby;
  • waste volumes are smaller but compaction on-site is still cost-effective;
  • space is restricted;
  • when a non-continuous service is required.
Service offered:
