The split-type waste compactor is a sanitation equipment that integrates garbage receiving, compression, and transportation. The core difference between it and the integrated garbage compactor is that the compaction unit and the transportation vehicle are independent of each other. It can realize one unit with multiple transportation vehicles in a cycle operation and is widely used in urban domestic waste transfer stations, community garbage collection points, industrial parks and other places.

Product Advantage
High Efficiency: The multi-compartment design allows for parallel compaction and transfer operations, avoiding the waiting cycle of integrated equipment's "compaction-transfer-return" process. This significantly improves overall waste management efficiency, making it particularly suitable for locations with large waste volumes.
Low Transfer Costs: Compacted waste significantly reduces volume, increasing the loading capacity of transfer trucks by 3-5 times. This reduces the number of transfer trips, lowering fuel consumption and vehicle wear costs.
Environmentally Friendly: The fully enclosed operation effectively controls leachate and odors generated during compression. Combined with a spray deodorization system, it minimizes pollution to the surrounding environment. The sealed truck compartment design prevents leaks during transfer.
High Flexibility: Multiple transfer trucks can be configured to accommodate different tonnage tractors. The main unit can be installed flexibly, either fixedly at transfer stations or deployed mobilely at temporary waste collection points.
Easy maintenance: The main unit and the carriage are designed separately, and the components are highly independent. Troubleshooting and maintenance do not require the entire machine to be shut down. Faulty units can be repaired individually, reducing equipment downtime.
Applicable Scenarios
Urban Solid Waste Transfer Stations: As core processing equipment, they handle the compression and transfer of municipal solid waste within their jurisdiction.
Large Communities and Commercial Complexes: Used for centralized processing of daily waste generated by residents and businesses.
Industrial Parks and Logistics Parks: Process industrial waste and household/office waste generated within the park.
Temporary Event Venues: Such as large exhibitions and sporting events, these can be deployed mobilely to quickly process large amounts of waste generated during events.
Working Principle
The core advantage of the split-type waste compactor lies in its multi-compartment, cyclical operation. The workflow is as follows:
Feeding Stage: Garbage trucks dump bulk garbage into the main unit's feed hopper, where it slides into the compression chamber.
Compaction Stage: The hydraulic system drives the pusher head into the compression chamber, subjecting the garbage to high-pressure compression and squeezing out leachate. The leachate flows through the drain hole at the bottom of the compression chamber into a wastewater collection tank for subsequent centralized treatment.
Transfer and Output Stage: When the garbage in the compression chamber reaches the set compaction density or volume, an empty transfer truck is docked to the main unit's unloading port. The gate is opened, and the pusher head pushes the compacted garbage blocks into the transfer truck.
Once the truck is full, the hydraulic locking is released, and the transfer truck is pulled away by a tractor unit to a landfill or incineration plant. Simultaneously, another empty truck can be immediately docked to the main unit to continue operation, without waiting for the return transfer.
Core Structure Composition
The split-type garbage compactor mainly consists of four parts: the compaction main system, the transfer compartment system, the hydraulic drive system, and the electrical control system. Some models are also equipped with auxiliary systems such as spray deodorization and sewage collection.
1. Compaction Main System
This is the core operating unit of the equipment, including components such as the feed hopper, pusher head, compression chamber, and gate mechanism.
Feed Hopper: Used to receive bulk garbage transported by sanitation vehicles. It is usually designed with a large-diameter open structure to accommodate unloading from garbage trucks of different sizes.
Pusher Head: Driven by a hydraulic cylinder, it reciprocates along the compression chamber, compressing loose garbage into high-density blocks through high-pressure extrusion. The compression ratio is generally 3:1 to 5:1.
Compression Chamber and Gate: The compression chamber is a sealed space for garbage compaction. The gate is used to seal the chamber opening after compaction to prevent garbage from scattering before transfer. When unloading is required, the gate opens, and the pusher head pushes the compacted garbage blocks into the transfer compartment.
2. Transfer Cart System
This serves as a temporary storage and transfer container for waste. It is an independent, enclosed compartment that can be quickly docked with and separated from the main unit.
The compartment is primarily made of high-strength steel plates, possessing wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant properties. Sealed doors are located on the sides or rear of the compartment for final unloading.
The docking of the compartment with the main unit utilizes a hydraulic locking device to ensure sealing during compaction and transfer, preventing sewage leakage and odor spread.
3. Hydraulic Drive System
This provides power to the entire machine and includes components such as hydraulic pumps, cylinders, control valve groups, and oil tanks. System pressure typically ranges from 16 to 31.5 MPa, and pressure parameters can be adjusted according to the type of waste to meet different compaction requirements. The stability of the hydraulic system directly determines compaction efficiency and equipment lifespan.
4. Electrical Control System
This includes a PLC controller, touchscreen, operation buttons, and sensors.
It supports both manual and automatic operation modes: manual mode is suitable for precise control under special working conditions; automatic mode enables fully automated operation of the feeding, compaction, and unloading process, reducing manual labor intensity. Equipped with overload protection and fault alarm functions, the sensors can monitor parameters such as compression chamber pressure and carriage docking status in real time to ensure safe operation of the equipment.

What are the precautions for using a split-type waste compactor?
Regularly check the hydraulic system's oil pressure and seal condition to prevent oil leaks that could lead to insufficient compaction pressure.
Clean the wastewater collection tank promptly to prevent leachate overflow and secondary pollution.
Do not feed construction waste, flammable or explosive materials, or hazardous waste into the equipment to avoid damaging the machine or causing safety accidents.
Regularly lubricate and inspect easily worn parts such as the pusher head and gate to extend the equipment's service life.
