Moovmor recently designed, manufactured and installed three Static Waste and Recycling Compactor Systems for a new build Pharma Client in Ireland.
For this project the SC2500-26T Model Static Compactor was selected based on the anticipated volumes of waste to be generated by the Client.
Each Compactor is designated to an individual waste stream. One Compactor for General Waste. One Compactor for Dry Mixed Recyclables such as plastic both Hard Plastics HDPE and Soft Plastics LDPE, as well as general items that are considered recyclable. The Final Compactor is for Cardboard Only. So providing onsite segregation of waste with the minimal of labour output.
The Waste and Recycling Compactors are loaded by the clients operatives at dock level, with each compactor having a walk on platform connecting the dock area to the compactor.
Each Compactor is fitted out with a comb bin lifter. Comb bin lifters are suitable for tipping a range of wheelie bins from 240L size up to 1100L size. Each Bin Lifter is rated to lift 450kg which is the maximum rating of an 1100L wheelie bin.
As the waste and recycling compactors are at dock level it allows for maximum operator integration. The operator simple wheels each bin onto the compactor and places it into position. Each bin lifter is fitted with an interlocked safety cage putting the operators safety first. By having an interlocked safety cage installed it ensures that the operator must be outside of the tipping zone at all times in order for the bin lifter to lift and tip the wheelie bin.
Remote Controls for each compactor have also been fitted at dock level so the operator does not need to go to ground level to operate the machine. The Compactor begins it cycle automatically once the bin lifter has commenced its tipping action.
This particular installation also came with guide rails for the containers at ground level. These guide rails perform two functions in this instance. One to ensure 100% accurate container positioning everytime, and two, to protect the drainage that is in place in the concrete yard area – as otherwise it would not be long before the drainage channel would become damaged by the changing of containers.
At ground level each compactor is fitted with an interlocked hopper inspection door which can be used for hand loading at ground level and also to inspect if any blockages occur. Again this is an interlocked door so the machine will automatically stop once the door is opened and will not start unless this door is fully closed – again putting the operators safety first.
