Note: Unless proper internal procedures are followed, and the user / company has proper controls in place, it is not recommended that hazardous wastes of any kind be compacted. |
The PortaPack Drum Ready Compactors are very simple. Upon positioning the air driven compactor system over a typical 55 gallon drum all it takes is the push of a button. Compaction ratios of up to 8 to 1 are attainable depending upon trash profile.
Operation is Simple, Convenient and Safe.
Compressors that are sold at all major outlets is all that is required to generate the proper force for compaction. Basically a compressor with just a 20 gallon tank and 5 HP motor producing roughly 80 - 100 PSI). The Drum Ready systems have Two Hand, No Tie Down Actuators, spark resistant compaction plates and the units meet O.S.H.A Requirements. The only difference between Model PD-55-6 and Model PD-55-8 is that the PD-55 either comes with a 6" cylinder diameter or an 8" cylinder diameter (which produces roughly 2,600 more pounds of force) for a better reduction ratio.
Options and Accessories: In addition to the standard features there are several options that may be of interest.Easy Open (Latching) Container - When utilized, the latching system of this container allows customers to quickly and easily remove the compacted contents without having to empty the contents from the top.
Wheels Add-on - Pneumatic Side Mounted Wheels - The typical application does not have the wheels shown in the photo since the wheels are not meant to be used for transporting the compacted waste. Generally a forklift, drum dolly or other material handling equipment is used to transport the compacted material. When the drum or box of compacted trash becomes full it can usually be positioned on the material handling equipment in a routine manner.
Wet Baskets - 18 Gallon Capacity for 55 Gal. Drum. The wet baskets latch to the 55 gallon drums and are used wring out wet fabric etc so that the liquids accumulate in the barrel below the basket (which extends down into the drum only about 1 foot) Waste Pump Assembly - Pneumatic Operated Waste Pump - This is basically a Sump Pump for whisking away the liquids from the 55 gallon barrel and the pricing varies depending upon the type of liquids or solvents that are being addressed. Compressor - A 20 Gallon, 5 HP Compressor (generating roughly 80 - 100 PSI) is all that is required for operating this compaction system.
