Waste units
November 1st 2007 Fife Council has chosen two Randalls Simpak 1800 static waste compactors to extend the range of recycling facilities at its centres in Scotland. The Simpak 1800 has a 1.7m3 charge box and 7.5kW motor driving up to a nominal 128m3/h at a compaction force of 28 000kgf. cycle time is 45sec, an average of 10 to 12t can be removed in one load. Compacting processes cardboard into a convenient format for removal for recycling. Models have re-designed hoppers, each with a safety interlock sliding door system for opening and closing the guard when the machine is in operation. Instead of traditional gull-wing doors on the guard, there is a vertical door that slides sideways so contents are enclosed when the machine is in use. For safety, the machines are designed so that they cannot function unless these doors are properly closed. More articles from Skip Units Group: |
