Manually operated trash compactors have a lever and a ratcheting mechanism to compress waste in barrels and other containers. These portable compactors can be moved around a shop as needed and don't require access to a pneumatic power source. The ratcheting mechanism allows users to apply high amounts of force and keeps the platen in place after pressure has been applied. Waste compactors reduce the amount of space needed to store trash and recyclables, which can help reduce the cost associated with waste pickup services.

Commercial trash compactors use standard shop air (pneumatic) systems to compress trash in drums and other containers. Pneumatic-powered compactors speed processing and reduce operator fatigue, making them a good choice for medium-to-high volume compacting tasks. Compactors are used in sanitation and janitorial, auto shop, and other commercial or industrial applications where trash accumulates.

Bases for trash compactors hold drums to make it easier to slide them onto and off of a waste compactor. Place the drum or container on the deck and slide it into place under the platen, then slide it out when full. Bases support the weight of a full drum and withstand the force applied during compacting.

Paint can crushers reduce the space required when disposing of empty metal paint cans. Connect these crushers to a pneumatic power source to automatically crush cans before disposal. Reducing waste and recycling volume can reduce costs associated with trash collection.

Aluminum can crushers with signage are installed in break rooms and food service areas to help reduce the volume of waste generated by aluminum cans. Signage reminds people to crush cans before disposal. Crushers are wall-mounted and operated by pulling a lever. Place a container or trash can beneath the crusher to catch cans after processing. Crushing cans reduces the volume of recyclables, reducing trash recycling costs and making it easier for maintenance personnel to collect trash.

Containers for crushed cans mount beneath aluminum-can crushers to automatically collect cans after they've been crushed. Collecting cans encourages recycling and helps keeps the area clean from waste and spills.

Oil filter crushers reduce the volume of waste associated with oil filters. Residual oil is collected during crushing to ease recycling. These crushers are used in automotive and vehicle maintenance facilities.

These parts support the maintenance and repair of trash compactors. Replacing worn or damaged parts keeps units running smoothly and extends their working life. Replacement parts should be matched to a trash compactor of a compatible brand.
