The Smash-It™ pneumatic compactor compresses waste into a 55-gallon drum. The Smash-It™ can compact many types of waste, saving on disposal costs and required space. Smash-It™ is available in models with 3,400 or 6,000 lbs of compacting force, depending on your facility`s needs. Once Smash-It™ is connected to a compressed air source the drum that is to be compacted is centered under the ram plate and then press the palm buttons.
Smash-It™ compactors are designed for a variety of different industries and applications. Hazardous, wet waste, and semi-solid waste materials are ideal for compaction with the Smash-It™.
- Cut costs - By compacting their waste with a Smash-It™ compactor, facilities are able to substantially reduce their disposal costs. Decreased waste mass means pickups aren`t needed as often, saving facilities thousands of dollars per year. Most Smash-It™ users experience savings that cover the cost of the machine in 3-6 months
- Saves space - By compacting their waste, Smash-It™ users have cut their needed storage space by up to 80%. Smash-It™ lets users fit up to 5 times more waste in a 55 gallon drum, freeing up valuable room and eliminating clutter in their facility.
- Saves time - Consolidating waste into less space means that users don`t have to spend as much time moving waste containers around. For example, instead of moving several skids of material around and having to do pickup paperwork for multiple containers, a Smash-It™ user can instead compact it all into one 55-gallon drum. A rapid cycle time also insures that the actual compacting with Smash-It™ is carried out quickly (2-3 times faster than hydraulic compacting).
Easy to use, low-maintenance - Smash-It™ compactors can be set up and used very quickly. Operating the Smash-It™ requires no special training, and the machine can be easily moved around with the optional wheels add-on. Additionally, the Smash-It™ compaction system is pneumatic and based on compressed air, which requires virtually no maintenance.
Safety - Smash-It™ compactors meet all O.S.H.A. safety requirements. Designed with safety in mind, Smash-It™ compactors use a two-hand, no tie-down actuator that provides output only the operator`s palms are pressed on the machine`s buttons simultaneously. If the buttons are released, the compaction plate is automatically retracted. Because they are pneumatic and use compressed air, Smash-It™ compactors use no electricity and there is no chance for overheating or sparking.
