Frequently Asked Questions
-
What materials can be loaded into these compactors?
These machines are capable of dealing with both dry general waste and wet waste (such as food). However, it’s generally recommended that you use standard portable compactors for general waste – for example, food tainted items without liquid waste, kitchenware and non-recyclable plastics. If you wish to compact wet wastes, it would be recommended that you use a self-cleaning compactor as they have watertight seals which prevent spillages and on-site waste pollution.
-
Which of these compactors is best for my business?
When deciding between the above compactors, you should consider a few factors:
- How much waste does your business produce?
The PCS8 would be better suited to businesses that produce lower volumes of waste, whereas the PCS23 model is best for those who produce higher volumes. The PCS16 compactor sits in-between these two models.
- Do you produce general waste or wet waste?
Standard portable compactors are generally recommended for general waste materials. If you wish to compact wet waste, it’s advised that you instead opt for a self-cleaning compactor.
- How much space do you have available for a compactor?
Another important factor to consider is how much space you have available in your facility for housing a compactor machine. The smallest portable compactor we offer, the PCS8 requires 8 square metres of space, the PCS16 requires 13.3 square metres and the largest of the bunch, the PCS23 requires at least 15 square metres.
