Options for Compactors
Options are an essential part of just about any compactor installation. Whether the option is for safety issues, convenience, operation efficiencies or monitoring systems, waste handling equipment can be fitted with a variety of bells and whistles to meet the demands of the application. Options include things such as container fullness measuring systems, usage measurement systems, cycle control systems, power pack options, odor control systems, hoppers, platforms & container guides, doghouses, security chutes, cart dumpers & tippers and steel options.
Container Fullness & Usage Measuring Systems
FULL CONTAINER LIGHT
The Full Container Light option illuminates to indicate when the container is full. The light, which is built into the remote push button station, is activated when the unit reaches normal shutdown pressure and the compactor automatically stops. To reactivate the compactor for normal operation, it is necessary to empty the container and depress the lens cover which deactivates the Full Container Light circuit.
ADVANCED WARNING LIGHT
The Advanced Warning Light or 3/4 Full Light, automatically senses the hydraulic system pressure. When the pressure is within 200 psi of normal shutdown pressure, the light, which is built into the remote push button station, illuminates and the packer continues to operate normally. To deactivate the light, the lens cover is depressed. This option allow time for the hauling service to pick-up the container and provide an empty one without interfering with the user’s disposal of waste.
PRESSURE GAUGES
A Pressure Gauge option indicates the packer’s system pressure and enables the operator to determine when the container is approaching its “packed out” state. It can be mounted adjacent to the compactor’s control station or mounted on the power unit if a remote power pack is used. It is furnished with 15’ of hydraulic hose. Also available is a Dual Needle Pressure Gauge with a adjustable needle to mark your readings.

Cycle Control Systems
HOLD TO RUN BUTTON
The Hold To Run Button or Sustained Manual Pressure Control Button requires the compactor operator to remain at the remote push button station while the compactor is in use and may be required to meet ANSI standards in certain applications. Actuation requires depressing the “Hold To Run” and the “Start” button is released. If the “Hold To Run” button is released, the unit will shut off.
MULTI-CYCLE TIMER
The Multi-Cycle Timer is installed in the electrical panel box and is adjustable from 0 seconds to 17 minutes. When the "Start" button is depressed, it automatically activates the timer. The compactor will operate for the specified time, the packer ram will automatically retract and the unit will stop. Timer is preset by Marathon at 3 cycles and can be adjusted by the user.
PROGRAMMED TIMER
The Programmed Timer can be adjusted from 3 to 30 minutes to automatically start the compactor. This option is desirable when the compactor is conveyor fed or when the refuse is fed to the compactor at a predictable rate. The Programmed Timer includes a three position selector switch for "Automatic", "OFF", and "Manual" modes. This option is included with an interlocked enclosure, a container full light and start-up alarm.
Odor Control Systems
AIR PURIFICATION AND ODOR CONTROL
Our Ozone system generates ozone, a powerful oxidizer which breaks down odor molecules and converts them into water vapor and other odorless, harmless gases. In addition to eliminating all odors from the air, the ozone-rich atmosphere inhibits germ and bacteria growth. The system requires no chemicals or fragrances and only incidental, routine service. Most units require a separate 110 volt power source.
DEODORANT SPRAY SYSTEM
The Deodorant Spray System consists of an electrical pump with enclosure, a 5 gallon reservoir and spray head(s). The pump operation is energized on the forward stroke of the packer ram. The reservoir is a polyethylene container which is removable for easy remote filling or, if installed on non-remote Horizontal Packers, the reservoir is accessible for refilling through a hinged cover in the packer top cover.
Hoppers Platforms & Container Guides
HINGED BREAKER BAR RETAINER TEETH
The Hinged Breaker Bar Retainer Teeth help prevent clutter in the charge box caused by "memory" and spring back of some types of material such as corrugated cardboard. As the ram retracts, the teeth engage the material to keep it in the container. Teeth are hinged so that material can pass beneath them without undue stress on the breaker bar.
ACCESS INTERLOCK SWITCH
The Access Interlock Switch is mounted on the security door frame or access gate through which refuse is fed into the packer. It prevents operation of the packer while the door or gate is open.
TREADPLATE TOP COVER
The Treadplate Top Cover is secured to the top of the packer in lieu of the standard cover. The diamond pattern treadplate is available in either 700 lb. or 8000 lb. capacity. For the larger capacity plate, additional reinforcements are added for support and a third pair of legs is added to the packer.
Cart Dumpers/Tippers
CART DUMPERS
| AWE offers several Ground Level, Dock Level Cart Dumpers and Integral models to choose from. They can be installed in any number of configurations. This 34yd Self-Contained has a cart dumper with 3-sided hopper. | ||
| Compactor Mounted Container Dumper for 90 gallon containers, shown on a 30yd Self-Contained compactor, increases convenience and productivity. | ||
|
Container Dumpers can also be used with stationary compactors. |
