Material Processing - Sanitech Auger Compactors are, in reality, pre-crushers and compactors combined. The pre-crushing characteristic is beneficial when product destruction is desired. The material is broken down from its original state and processed into a receiver bin. The auger crushes almost everything it's fed, breaking it down into small, uniform sizes. This allows the user to process pallets, display racks and other oversized items, which eliminates the need to bring these items to a transfer station or landfill.

No Mess - When the compactor and receiver bin are attached the unit is 100% sealed. Access to the compacted material is denied because the auger continuously processes material out of the auger chamber into the receiver bin. Upon separation, spillage is minimized by virtue of the relatively small, round opening in the receiver bin. This compares very favorably to the much larger, rectangular opening of hydraulic compactors.
Clean, Safe Operation - The all-electric drive system runs clean and quiet eliminating many of the headaches associated with hydraulic systems. The Machine Operator, the Public and the Environment are protected from hazardous hydraulic fluid leaks and spills. The all-electric drive system is sealed to allow the compactor to run at its peak efficiency regardless of ambient temperature.
Small Footprint - The Sanitech Auger Compactor has a smaller footprint, compared to hydraulic units. This allows them to be installed in smaller spaces and/or use larger receiver bins. The smaller footprint also allows for reduced installation costs.
Reliable and Easy to Maintain - The simple design of the Sanitech Auger Compactor combines heavy-duty construction with few moving parts, making it a very reliable and trouble free machine. The only maintenance needed is the periodic lubrication of the auger bearings, which is done with an electrical lubrication system. The electric drive motor is sealed and maintenance free.
Increased Compaction - The auger pre-crushes waste and recyclable material before it is processed into a receiver bin. This creates some of the highest compaction ratios possible, resulting in fewer pick-ups and greater savings compared to hydraulic compactors.
Safe to Use - One of the problems associated with conventional hydraulic compactors is jamming. Due to the amount of space needed to accommodate the "throw" of the ram, hydraulic compactors must be positioned further away from building walls thereby requiring the use of longer, more elaborate trash chutes. When the receiver bin starts to fill, compacted material "springs" back into the charging chamber after the ram returns to its start position. The "spring" back of material into the charging chamber can force "new" material to build up in elaborate trash chutes and cause jams. When a jam occurs someone must crawl into the chute and remove the waste or recyclable material that is causing the problem. This creates a very hazardous safety issue.
The design of the Sanitech Auger Compactor is such that jamming is not an issue. The smaller footprint of the compactor coupled with the auger's chamber design allows the Sanitech Auger Compactor to be installed closer to building walls. This allows a trash chute to virtually drop from the through-the-wall opening onto the auger chamber, thereby eliminating jamming and the necessity of building elaborate trash chutes. The auger prevents material from "springing" back into the auger chamber because it penetrates into the receiver bin and continuously runs in a forward direction creating a constant positive pressure against the waste or recyclable material.
Minimal Labor Costs - The auger runs in a forward direction while processing, allowing for continuous feeding. This feature allows the Sanitech Auger Compactor to compact up to five times faster than a conventional ram style hydraulic compactors. This feature also insures that the operator does not have to wait for material in the auger chamber to be processed before adding additional material. The operator simply throws material into the hopper, closes the door and turns the unit on. The compactor crushes and processes the material into a receiver bin without any waiting time and is immediately ready for more.
Self-Contained Compactors are best suited for applications where ultra sanitary conditions must be maintained or where extreme amounts of wet material are being disposed of. Leakage is virtually eliminated because the Compaction Unit and the Receiver Bin are molded together in one seamless piece.
Sanitech Stationary Auger Compactors are 100% sealed and liquid tight when the Compactor and Receiver Bin are together. This is accomplished with a neoprene Nozzle to Bin Gasket coupled with an Auger Nozzle that penetrates nine (9) inches into the Receiver Bin.
An optional Liquid Drain System insures that liquids are drained out of the Compactor and Receiver Bin before hauling. Removing liquids will reduce the risk of liquid spillage during Bin separation and reduce the weight of the compacted material. The volume of material spilled during Bin separation (about two shovels full) is minimized by virtue of the relatively small Auger opening.
Self-Contained Compactors have a Compaction Unit and a Receiver Bin that are molded together in one seamless piece. This means that the waste hauler has to transport the additional weight of the Compaction Unit during each haul thereby reducing the amount of trash that can be hauled, and the size of the Bin that can be used.
Sanitech Stationary Auger Compactors are securely fastened in place. The Receiver Bin is the only part that is picked up by the waste hauler thereby increasing the amount of trash that can be processed and the allowable Bin size that can be used.
Self-Contained Compactors used in Thru-the-Wall Chute applications, or applications where the waste hauler has to pick up the Compactor assembly from the Bin end, require the use of four Wheels (no legs) and Bale Hooks on both ends. This is because the waste hauler has to pull out the Compactor assembly from the Bin end, turn it around, and pick it up again from the Compactor end in order to empty the Bin. This is laborious and time consuming.
One way to eliminate this problem is to use a special Self-Contained Compactor called a "Hinge Tail". A "Hinge Tail" is basically a Compaction Unit that is permanently molded to the Receiver Bin's trash door. The trash door is opened by means of two (2) heavy-duty hydraulic pistons. A "Hinge Tail" is picked from the Bin end and dumped from the Compactor end. There are two major drawbacks to this option: 1) High cost 2) The extra weight added to the Compactor assembly reduces the amount of trash that can be hauled even more.
Sanitech Stationary Auger Compactors are securely fastened in place. The waste hauler can easily pick up the Receiver Bin independently.
Self-Contained Compactor Trash Chutes cannot be attached to the Compaction Unit. This is because the Compaction Unit and Receiver Bin are molded together in one seamless piece so the entire assembly must be removed during hauling. This presents two problems: 1) Realigning the Compaction Unit with the Trash Chute after each haul 2) The rubber gasket used between the Trash Chute and the Compaction Unit is easily damaged, and usually insufficient to keep liquids and trash from escaping.
Sanitech Stationary Auger Compactors are securely fastened in place thereby allowing Trash Chutes to be permanently attached and sealed.
