What is a Super Compactor?
Using 500,000 lbs of hydraulic thrust, the super compactor crushes 55 gallon steel drums from a height of 35 inches to 4 – 12 inches (results will vary depending on content’s compactibility). What does this mean for the environment? Using compaction, we are delivering containers with as much as 85% reduction in volume to its ultimate resting location – the licensed disposal facility. Compacting waste also results in fewer loads transported to the disposal site. Reduced gasoline usage means less pollution and carbon dioxide emissions, as well as lower operating costs. Can anything be compacted? Liquid, soil, and sludge will not compact. The results are a time-consuming cleanup and possible area contamination. Only dry waste containing no liquid is to be compacted.
