Precision Machinery Systems Inc. Horizontal Trash Compactor 10TM

The Model 10TM is a single bag, bulkhead compactor which produces pre-cut, space-saving blocks of compacted refuse. This model is shorter in length than the standard Model 10T to accommodate smaller trash rooms. This machine can be chute fed for use in multi-story buildings, or hand fed for varied applications such as schools, hospitals, etc. The 10TM is a hydraulically operated concentric ram compactor with hardened cast ductile iron shear teeth compacting against a heavily reinforced door with a quick opening latch. The compaction body and compaction chamber are tubular in shape and form one continuous integral body of structural 3/8" steel plate. The ram is similarly constructed of 1/4" plate with a compaction face of 3/4" plate. Operation is exceptionally quiet. Heavy duty, 4 mil plastic bags are suggested for use with this machine. The bag is placed on the machine, the bulkhead door closed, and trash is compacted directly into the bag, minimizing handling by the operator. When full, the door is opened and the compacted slug is ejected from the machine. A photoelectric switch with solid state components starts the compaction cycle when refuse enters the hopper (chute fed model) and turns it off when the hopper is empty. The hand fed model is equipped with single cycle controls. The compactor automatically shuts off to prevent damage from an oversized or uncrushable object. A light indicates when refuse is compacted and the machine is ready to be unloaded. The chute fed model has a service access door located on the front of the hopper. The hand fed model has a plastic lid for ease of feeding. Both are equipped with an electrically interlocked safety switch.
