Common Compactor Installations
FleetGenius can handle any type of compactor installation, no matter how complex. Our most common commercial waste compactor installations include:
- Dock Compactor Installations: These are the most popular types of compactor installations. In a dock compactor installation, the compactor is installed next to a facility’s loading dock. The material most commonly feeds into the rear of the compactor.
- Through-The-Wall Chute Compactor Installations: In a through-the-wall chute installation, a steel chute is fabricated and attached to the charge opening of the compactor, passing through an opening in a wall. Through-the-wall chutes can be utilized to feed into the sides or rear of the compactor.
- Ground Fed Compactor Installations: A ground-fed compactor operates by placing waste directly into the charge opening from ground level, typically outside the facility. With this setup, employees are responsible for transporting the waste to the compactor and lifting or depositing it inside.
Baler Installations
From simple vertical balers to more complex horizontal balers including both manual tie balers and automatic-tie balers; we can do it all. Our most common recycling baler installations include:
- Vertical Baler Installations: Vertical balers are most often installed inside the facility and fed from the ground.
- Horizontal Baler Installations: Horizontal baler installations are more complex and are sometimes accompanied by a conveyor feed system.
Common Compactor & Baler Steel Configurations
Our most common compactor & baler steel configurations for installations include:
- Hoppers: The purpose of a hopper on a waste compactor is to facilitate the safe and efficient loading of waste into the compactor’s charge chamber. They allow for larger quantities of waste to be loaded at once and act as a safety measure by preventing users from reaching directly into the charge chamber, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
- Doghouses: The purpose of a doghouse on a waste compactor is to provide an added level of security when feeding a compactor. It typically features a lockable door or doors, which restrict access to the compactor’s interior. This helps prevent unauthorized individuals from dumping waste into the compactor, ensuring that only authorized personnel can use it.
- Walk-On Deck: The purpose of a walk-on-deck on a waste compactor is that it allows employees to load a dock fed compactor without having to leave the building.
- Full Enclosure: The purpose of a full enclosure on a waste compactor is to provide a complete and secure structure around a dock fed compactor. In addition to allowing your employees to feed the machine without having to leave the building, it offers additional benefits such as noise control, weather protection, and improved aesthetics.
- Cart Dumper/Tipper: A cart dumper/tipper is a device designed to assist in the loading of waste into a waste compactor. Its purpose is to lift and tilt waste containers, such as bins or carts, and empty their contents into the compactor’s charge opening leading to increased efficiency and improved safety.
