The single blade compactor is ideal for compacting moist municipal solid waste and bulky materials. The bottom of the compression chamber constructed with a single plate creates a chute that enters the
box directly. The oil-hydraulic unit is placed under the bottom plate, thus achieving a fully watertight structure.
The single blade compactor features a compacting system consisting of a blade sliding on bronze shoes within “Hoesch” guide rails, hinged at the top onto the compactor’s frame to permit the tilting motion.
The waste is compacted by the tilting movement of the two guide rails.
The blade is moved vertically by oil-hydraulic cylinders. The compacting system assures a thrust up to 50 tonnes.
The single blade roll on/off compactor is available in two versions:
Model APB with tilt opening using connection to the hydraulic system of the transport tractor or truck with roll-off equipment. The hatch opening angle of 130° prevents it from rubbing against the waste on the ground and allows the equipment to tilt completely to conveniently extract the material from the box.
Tightness between box and hatch is assured by a gasket on the two side jambs on the entire height and on the lower casement. A supplementary lock applied in the lower part of the hatch hydraulically operated in sequence with the opening/rotation cylinders, assures mechanical tightness and compression of the watertightness gasket. Thanks to this blocking system the hatch does not slide on the gasket but is supported, assuring excellent watertightness and long service life of the gasket.
