Garbage Compression Station User Guide

Garbage compression stations use hydraulic systems to reduce the volume of garbage, significantly improving collection and transportation efficiency and reducing processing costs. Proper use is crucial to ensuring equipment life and operational safety. The following describes core usage instructions from four aspects: pre-operation preparation, garbage handling, unloading procedures, and daily maintenance.

1. Pre-operation Preparation: Identify potential hazards and pre-treat garbage

Two key tasks must be completed before starting the machine. First, perform an equipment inspection, focusing on the hydraulic system (the oil level is within the "safety line" in the tank and there are no leaks), the electrical system (the power cord is intact and the emergency stop button is tested and functioning), and the leachate system (the collection tank is not full and the pump is not clogged). Also, ensure that the compression chamber guide rails are free of debris and that the discharge door seals are intact to prevent jamming or leakage during operation. Second, perform garbage pre-treatment. Hazardous materials such as flammable and explosive materials (such as batteries and paint cans) and corrosive materials (such as chemical waste) must be separated to prevent damage to the equipment or accidents. Large garbage (such as furniture) must be broken down into small pieces, and hard objects such as metal and concrete must be removed through a filter to prevent obstruction of the compression head.

2. Waste Loading and Compression: Controlling Quantity and Pressure, Monitoring Status

When loading, adhere to the principle of appropriate quantity. Place waste into the compression chamber via a hopper or conveyor belt, no higher than 15 cm above the chamber ceiling, to prevent overflow during compression. After starting the equipment, preheat the hydraulic pump for 5 minutes. Then, press the "Compression Start" button. The compression head will slowly advance. During operation, closely monitor the control panel: Maintain pressure between 15-30 MPa (not exceeding the equipment rating). If any unusual noises or compression head jamming occur, immediately press the emergency stop button. Check for any obstructions, clear them, and restart the machine. Never force pressure to avoid damaging the cylinder. After a single compression cycle, the compression head automatically resets, allowing continued loading and repeated compression until the waste density within the chamber meets the specified level.

3. Unloading After Compression: Secure the Vehicle for Safe Unloading

Before unloading, secure the truck: Park the truck on level ground, apply the parking brake, and chock the wheels. Connect the truck's inlet to the compression station's discharge door with a sealing joint to prevent leachate from dripping. During operation, select "slow door opening" mode to prevent compressed waste from suddenly sliding and impacting vehicles. Observe the waste conveying status during unloading. If any residue remains, activate the ram to gently push to assist in unloading. Never pry the chamber walls with hard objects. After unloading, close the discharge door and check the seals for integrity. If damaged, replace them promptly to prevent leakage during the next compression.

4. Daily Maintenance: Extending Life and Reducing Failures

Three maintenance tasks are required after each use: First, clean the compression chamber and conveyor belt with a low-pressure water jet to remove any residual waste. The leachate tank should be inspected and cleaned to prevent sludge from clogging the pipes. Second, lubricate the ram guide rails and discharge door hinges weekly with lithium-based grease to reduce component wear. Third, record the daily waste volume and any abnormal equipment operation (such as minor leaks or pressure fluctuations) in the operation log to facilitate subsequent troubleshooting. Additionally, replace the hydraulic oil filter monthly and inspect the electrical terminals quarterly to ensure long-term stable operation.

Proper use of a Garbage Compression Station requires adherence to the "inspection first, operation second, maintenance last" process, while also paying close attention to detail, such as ensuring no overloading during loading, no overpressure during compression, and leak prevention during unloading. Only by adhering to these requirements at every step can we improve waste processing efficiency while ensuring equipment safety and extending its service life.
