What is a Stationary Compactor?
A Stationary Compactor is used for compacting dry waste materials. The compactor remains on site and the container (receiver box – octagon or rectangular) is hauled off to a landfill for servicing. The compactor (packer head) and power unit are typically nearest to the building or “feed” area and the receiver container is held in place with twin turn-buckle ratchets, normally named “grab claws”. Select a model based on a “feed (clear top) opening” that will accommodate the largest items being processed. The stationary compactor was the original style of unit from which all the others evolved and is still the “work-horse” today.
