Screw Trash Compactor are environmentally friendly equipment that uses rotating spiral blades to generate thrust and extrusion force to compress and reduce the volume of loose waste and dehydrate it. They are primarily used for solid waste pretreatment in waste transfer stations, residential communities, factories, and other similar settings.

Screw trash compactor consists of a fixed station and a box. It compacts the waste by means of an endless screw driven by a gear motor, which tears up the waste and transports it to the compaction box.
What are the advantages of a Screw trash compactor?
Volume Reduction and Cost Advantages
High compaction ratio, compressing loose waste to 1/3-1/5 of its original volume, significantly reducing waste inventory.
Increased waste density after compression increases the amount transported per trip, directly reducing transportation frequency and logistics costs.
Reduces landfill space requirements, extends landfill lifespan, and lowers site construction and maintenance costs.
Outstanding Environmental Performance
Enclosed operation design reduces odor diffusion and prevents dust pollution of the surrounding environment.
Equipped with a dedicated leachate collection system for centralized treatment of wastewater generated during compaction, preventing soil and groundwater pollution.
Reduces the time waste is exposed, lowering the risk of mosquito breeding and bacterial transmission, and improving the working environment.
Operational and Adaptability Advantages
High degree of automation, supporting PLC automatic control, enabling continuous feeding, compaction, and discharge without frequent manual intervention.
Compact structure and small footprint, suitable for spaces with limited areas such as residential areas, office buildings, and small transfer stations.
Operational and Adaptability Advantages
High degree of automation, supporting PLC automatic control, enabling continuous feeding, compaction, and discharge without frequent manual intervention. Highly adaptable, capable of handling various loose solid wastes such as municipal solid waste, kitchen waste, industrial scraps, and packaging waste.
Stable operation, low failure rate, simple maintenance process, and controllable long-term operation and maintenance costs.
Efficiency and Safety Advantages
High processing efficiency; a single unit can process 5-50 tons of waste per hour, meeting the needs of different scale scenarios.
The spiral blades are made of high-strength wear-resistant steel, which is wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and has a long service life.
Equipped with overload protection, emergency shutdown, and other safety devices to prevent safety issues caused by equipment failure or operational errors.

Core Working Principle
A motor drives the helical blades to rotate at high speed, generating axial thrust and radial compressive force.
The waste is pushed by the blades into the compaction chamber, where it is compressed, dehydrated, and reduced in volume within the sealed space, ultimately forming a high-density compacted block.
The compacted waste is discharged through the outlet, facilitating subsequent transportation, landfill, or incineration.
Main Structural Components
Helical System: The core component, including the helical shaft and blades, primarily made of high-strength wear-resistant steel.
Compaction Chamber: A sealed structure that withstands the compressive pressure, ensuring effective compaction.
Drive System: Includes a motor and reducer, providing power for the helical rotation.
Feeding Device: A hopper or conveyor belt for introducing waste.
Drainage/Leachate Discharge System: Collects leachate generated during the compaction process, preventing secondary pollution.
Control System: A PLC control cabinet enables automatic or manual operation, controlling the feeding, compaction, and discharge processes.

Common Application Scenarios
Municipal Solid Waste Transfer Stations: Centralized processing of residential waste, facilitating long-distance transportation.
Residential Communities/Office Buildings: Small-scale equipment can be directly deployed, reducing temporary waste storage space and collection frequency.
Factory/Industrial Parks: Processing solid waste such as industrial scraps and packaging waste.
Food Waste Treatment Stations: Compacting and dehydrating waste, providing pretreatment for subsequent biochemical treatment.
Landfills: Compacting waste before it enters the landfill, improving landfill space utilization.
The Screw Trash Compactor is the optimal technology for handling large sheets of cardboard and large volumes of waste. A large feed chute and efficient feeding system ensure fast, trouble-free processing. It efficiently feeds and compacts solid or flattened cardboard.
High-Efficiency Compaction
A powerful screw unit crushes and compacts waste with maximum efficiency and speed. Coarse crushing significantly increases fill weight, far exceeding hydraulic systems. Continuous feeding and a large feed chute mean rapid processing.
You can choose between mobile or stationary Screw Trash Compactors depending on site space or logistics systems. Mobile systems are suitable for applications requiring flexibility and with small waste volumes.
Stationary Systems
Especially suitable for handling large volumes of waste. From standard configurations to complete solutions, we can tailor systems to your site conditions.
We are an established equipment manufacturer equipped with state-of-the-art production facilities, including CNC laser cutting machines, CNC bending machines and machining centers. These ensure our products’ superior quality and exquisite finish.
We accommodate custom design requirements based on drawings, backed by a robust technical team and skilled welding professionals. We look forward to cooperating with you.
