Question 1

Can I perform maintenance on the compactor myself?

Answer

No, any maintenance and service should be done by a professional service technician.

Question 2

Why should I choose a mobile compactor?

Answer

With a mobile compactor, structural changes to the site are not necessary. You simply connect the system to the local power supply and it is ready to use. This makes the mobile compactor a flexible solution that can be integrated into any environment – even for a limited time period.

Question 3

What’s the difference between a static compactor and a mobile compactor?

Answer

In short, the difference between a static compactor and a mobile compactor is whether the press unit stays on-site or if it is attached to and follows the container. Static compactor A static compactor is designed to stay on-site. The press unit and the container unit are separate units and the press unit is bolted to a concrete base. The container is attached to the press unit by ratchets. When the container is full, it is picked up for emptying and a replacement container is put into position on the press unit. The static compactors are very well suited to handle very large amounts of waste and in situations where the is a need for constant filling. Mobile compactor In a mobile compactor, the press unit is integrated with the container. This means that the entire unit is picked up for emptying when it is full. The mobile compactor is often slightly smaller and have less capacity than a static compactor, because it must be easy to pick up and transport on a truck. The mobile compactor is suitable for applications where space is confined. They can handle a wide range of waste materials including cardboard, paper, plastic, combustible waste or organic waste.

Question 4

Is a compactor safe to operate?

Answer

A compactor is very safe to operate. All our compactors are thoroughly tested to ensure that they meet the highest safety standards. Furthermore, all mechanical and electrical parts are placed inside the machine –out of reach for users. The control panel is placed on the outside of the machine and gives the user easy access to start the machine. An emergency stop is also placed on the control panel within fast and easy reach.

Question 5

How do I know if I need a static compactor or a mobile compactor?

Answer

Whether you need a static compactor or a mobile compactor depends on a number of factors. What you need to consider is how much waste you have, what kind of waste material you have, your internal work processes, how much space you have for a compactor solution, and if the solution should be integrated in an existing facility.

Question 6

What type of waste material can I put in a compactor?

Answer

That depends on the compactor. As a rule of thumb, you can use a compactor to compact all soft materials. Examples of soft materials include cardboard, shredded paper, news paper, paper bags, soft dry plastic, and PET bottles. There are also compactors for wet waste, polystyrene, EPS, and wood. We always recommend that you consult with us if you wish to use your compactor for any other materials than the listed and recommended materials.

Question 8

What kind of power supply is needed?

Answer

Our compactors use 3 L / N / PE; 400 V,50 Hz as standard. The static and mobile compactors use 16-32 amperes. The screw compactors usually use 63 amperes. You can check the required power supply for each compactor in the product specific tech specs.

Question 9

How much waste do I need before I should consider a compactor solution?

Answer

There is no simple answer to this question. Compactors are designed to handle large amounts of waste, but there might be other reasons to choose a compactor solution as well. When we make an evaluation for you to determine your need for a compactor we consider the size of your company, your internal work structures and processes, waste handling procedures, your work flow, the time you spend handling waste, and your current solution. All these data help us determine the best solution for you to save time and money on your waste handling.

Question 10

What’s the difference between a static compactor and a mobile compactor?

Answer

The difference between a static compactor and a mobile compactor is whether the press unit stays on-site or if it is attached to the container. A static compactor consists of two separate units – the press unit and the container unit. The press unit is bolted to a concrete base and stays on on-site. In a mobile compactor, the press unit is integrated with the container. This means that both the container and the press unit is picked up for emptying.

Press force (t)	25-30
Waste volume	Medium
Unit	6-24
