Static compactors
October 1st 2007 Fife Council has chosen two
Randalls Simpak 1800 static waste
compactors to extend the range of
recycling facilities at its centres in
Scotland.The Simpak 1800 has a
1.7m3 charge box and 7.5kW motor
driving up to a nominal 128m3/hr
at a compaction force of 28,000Kgf.
Cycle time is 45 seconds, an
average of 10 to 12 tonnes can be
removed in one load.Compacting
processes cardboard into a
convenient format for removal for
recycling.The models feature newly
re-designed hoppers each with a
safety-interlock sliding door system
for opening and closing the guard
when the machine is in operation.
Instead of the traditional gull-wing
doors on the guard, there is a
vertical door that slides sideways so
all the contents are enclosed when
the machine is in use.
For safety, the machines are
designed so that they cannot
function unless these doors are
properly closed. More articles from Skip Units Group: |
