Compactors

For larger waste volumes, Cawleys can offer advice on waste compaction systems designed to reduce waste disposal costs and improve waste handling and promote good housekeeping. With a comprehensive range of new and refurbished portable and static machinery, we can supply the ideal solution for whichever industry you are in.

• Increased payload in the container
• Reduced transport and disposal costs
• Improves the environment by providing a fully enclosed disposal system

Compactors are designed to handle medium to high volumes of industrial and commercial waste quickly and efficiently. Specified to suit your needs, loading can be by hand, bin lift, forklift, chute or special application. In order to save money by compacting its waste an organisation would need to be producing a regular average output of approximately 50 cubic yards per week.

Compaction static unit

This type of compactor is bolted to a suitable concrete base and works in conjunction with all sizes of compaction containers. The system can be individualised to suit exact customer requirements. This system works by:

• Waste is loaded into the hopper of the machine
• The ram within the machine travels forward, compacting waste into the container, then returns ready for more waste to be fed in
• A pre-full warning light will illuminate to enable us to be notified for collection
• The skip or Roll-on Roll-off vehiclewill uncouple the container and take it to be emptied

Compaction portable unit

The principle is similar to that of the static compactor. The difference being that the compactor and container are built as one integral unit which is not secured to the base. When full we pick up the whole unit, take it for emptying, then return it to site.Portable compaction is particularly suitable when space is limited or when the waste product is wet.

• 14 cubic yard handled by skip lorry
• 32 cubic yard handled by Roll-on Roll-off vehicle
• Hotels and Food Processors tend to opt for Portable units
