Industrial Compactors

June 28th, 2010 industrialtech No comments

industrial_compactorsIndustrial compactors are used to process wastes, rubber, textiles, fibers and other low-density materials into a finished compact shape for easy and efficient disposal. This makes it easier and cheaper to handle and transport.

Industrial compactors contain a hydraulic or pneumatic press that crushes materials and compacts them into much smaller units. Specialised compactors can also conduct fluid extraction and recovery processes as well.

Industrial compactors can be used for a variety of different applications and industries such as to flatten, crush, or compress cans, drums, bottles, fibrous materials, barrels, food products, textiles, metals, paper, plastics, corrugated materials  and rubber. Industrial compactors are usually used in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, junk yards, reclamation centers, landfills, smelters, hospitals, ships and airports.

Process Systems Services

To augment our trim extraction systems, Process Systems Services now manufactures industrial compactors which are ideally suited to the waste / recycling industry. They produce two different models: the PPS Compactor Maxi and the PSS Compactor Mini.

Waste Reduction

Strategies for Reducing Waste

Waste ManagementOne of the most important factors in managing waste and preserving the environment is actually reducing the  amount of waste that is produced. Strategies for reducing waste include reusing second-hand goods, avoiding disposable products and designing products to be reusable or refillable, repairing broken items and so on. Reducing waste is part of the waste hierarchy, where the most effective strategies are at the top of the pyramid and the least at the bottom. Effective policies include waste prevention and minimisation (including energy use), reuse and recycling, then less effective strategies include energy recovery and waste disposal.

Waste Compactors

Waste Compactor MiniProcess Systems Services Pty Ltd manufactures two models of waste compactors, both designed for the waste and recycling industry. The first is the PSS Compactor Maxi, designed for high volume, heavy duty waste compaction. It consists of a horizontal ram that compresses the waste into standard industry bins (26m³ – 32m³). One of the primary concerns in its design was safety, so comprehensive fail-safe systems, mechanical interlocks, electrical interlocks and alarms were included to ensure the highest safety standards. It can also be fitted with a dust collector to filter the discharged air.

The second is the PSS Compactor Mini designed for paper compaction into a 600L standard industry waste bin. The benefit of a waste compactor is that it can reduce the volume of waste, making it easier and less expensive to transport, reducing its environmental impact, and helping deal with odour and rodent issues. It achieves a much higher compaction rate than manual filling of bins, about 3:1 (depending on the sort of materials). It also is designed with comprehensive safety mechanisms (interlocks, safety switches, operator protection devices) as well as superior performance. It has two compaction heads which operate vertically and on a cycle basis as waste is dropped into the bin.

Waste

WasteWaste is anything that is no longer wanted and needs to be disposed of. Waste needs to be managed- collected, transported, and disposed of or recycled- in order to maintain hygiene, health and aesthetics. Waste is usually managed by the local government, however because of the impacts of waste pollution everyone is a participant. One impact that results from biodegradable waste is the release of the greenhouse gas methane which contributes to climate change. Another form of waste pollution is littering, which is the inappropriate disposal of waste in public spaces. Also rubbish that is not dealt with properly can end up in our oceans, lakes and river harming marine life or dumped on unregulated land contaminating the soil. Common waste disposal methods include landfills which involves burying waste underground, and is actually quite hygienic and relatively inexpensive if designed properly. Incinerators can also be used to dispose of waste, turning waste into ash and gas, and usually used for particular hazardous waste materials. However it emits pollution into the air and so is not great for the environment.

Solutions: Dust collectors, Trim Extractors, Waste Compactors

Waste CompactorProcess Systems Services Pty Ltd provides several solutions for industrial waste with efficient and affordable systems. It offers dust collectors that extract dust from the air both indoors and outdoors, helping to improve working conditions, reduce air pollution, and improve cleanliness. It also offers trim extractors for paper waste, providing a system that extracts the trim automatically to cut down on time and labour. Finally, it also produces waste compactors that will reduce the volume of waste, cut down on odour and rodent issues, and improve transportability of waste. It will also reduce the amount of space it takes up when it reaches its final destination. It comes as a Maxi compactor and a Mini compactor, and is primarily used for paper and film.
