Equipment Type: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Compactor | Equipment that is used to compact, crush or flatten retail, commercial, and industrial waste byproducts. Compactors may also be used for fluid extraction and recovery. Compactors tend to form a compact bundle from the waste material fed into the machine. Waste and garbage compactors are used in many applications including waste processing in commercial, marine, light industrial or residential applications. | ||
Crusher / Flattener | Equipment that compacts, crushes or flattens scrap material to improve handling, transportation, disposal, and storage. Also known as flatteners, filter crushers or drum crushers. Some compactors and crushers are used for fluid extraction and recovery. Flatteners or crushers due not always constrain the material compared to compactors or balers. | ||

Applications / Materials Compacted: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Automobiles | Equipment for flattening cars or automotives. | ||
Cans / Bottles | Flatteners are typically used to reduce the volume of can and bottle waste. | ||
Drums / Barrels | Equipment for compacting or crushing drums or barrels. | ||
Fibrous Materials / Textiles | Compacting equipment for fibrous materials like cotton / cloth, synthetic / plastic or cellulose fibers. | ||
Food Products | Equipment for compacting solid and liquid-solid mixtures of food products such as dried potatoes, apples, vegetables or other foods. | ||
Laboratory / Pilot | Smaller scale units for laboratory or pilot plant applications. | ||
Metals | Equipment for the compacting of metals usually in the form of scrap strips, trim, cans, turnings, swarf and other ferrous and non-ferrous scrap. | ||
Oil / Liquid Extraction | Deliquefying equipment squeezes oil out of used filters or coolants out of metal chips. The extraction produces a solids material that is easier to transport and in some cases the oil or coolant can be reused. | ||
Paper / Corrugated | Equipment for compaction or palletizing of cellulose feeds, pulp, corrugated cardboard, paper, paperboard or paper resins. | ||
Plastics | Equipment for forming plastics or plastic waste such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) into more compact form. | ||
Product Destruction | Crushing or compaction to destroy products that have been scrapped due to defects or excess inventory. The crushing operation prevents scrapped products from being recovered and sold in the market by a third party. | ||
Recycling | Crushing or compacting to improve the ability to recycle scrap products or wastes. | ||
Rubber / Tires | Compactor is used to reduce elastomeric materials or scrap tires to a more compact form. | ||
Scrap / Solid Waste | Compactor to process metal, paper, plastic or other scrap materials, refuse or waste into a more compact and easy to handle forms. | ||
Wood Chips / Biomass | Equipment for compacting wood chips or waste into more compact forms. | ||
