Truck Mounted Solid Waste Compactor

The curved refuse body and the bottom plate are welded seamlessly, which eliminates the risk of leakage. High-strength manganese steel plate is used, and all reinforcements of the body shall be in the form of “U” shaped braces and full-seam welded on the body sheets, of thickness of 4.0 mm.

Collecting & Compacting                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

The loose garbage inside the hopper is taken into the body via a sweeper shovel being actuated by two double-acting hydraulic cylinders, and then after being pushed into the body by two double-acting sledge cylinders. The sledge cylinders have min. 24 tones pushing force. The compaction ratio (volumetric) varies between 3:1 to 6:1 according to the characteristic of the garbage.

Lifting

The tailgate raise is achieved by two double-acting hydraulic cylinders, which must be equipped with safety devices to prevent the tailgate from falling abruptly in the event of hydraulic failure or hose burst.

Hopper

The loose garbage capacity of the loading hopper is around 1,5 m³ with the self-cleaning ability during discharge.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Locking

Hydraulic locking by means of reverse action of two hydraulic tailgate lifting cylinders also prevents the leakage of the wastewater when the truck bounces due to road conditions.

Ejector Panel

A totally automatic hydraulic system allows the panel to advance forward as garbage is packed against it. Material 6mm thickness.                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Rail

The ejector panel shall glide on a Standard NPU 120mm profile, centered by means of friction resist polyamide bases. The ejector panel shall slide forward and rear over these rails thanks to a set of  Polyamide wear plates in four points.

Operation & Control

The system is controlled from the PLC control box, which enables, start, stop, 1-cycle, continuous cycles, and rescue activities. Tailgate and ejector controls are in front of the body. All devices for loading control are mounted on the tailgate right side, and all are manual control for safety purposes. Compaction is controlled electrically via pushbuttons, and manually in case. There is an emergency stop button on each of side the truck on the control panel.

All the hydraulic cylinders are double-acting cylinders. The pipes on hydraulic cylinders are of Italy origin.  Pipes are to be made of honed drawn steel pipe, and cylinder miles are ground and chrome coated against corrosion. The dimensions of cylinders are designed to accomplish the stipulated cycle times and compaction ratio.
