Vertical Trash Compactor is a sanitation equipment that compresses and reduces the volume of garbage through vertical pressure from the top down. It is mainly used for centralized processing of domestic garbage in urban communities, commercial areas, industrial zones, etc., and can significantly reduce the volume of garbage and improve the transfer efficiency.

Product Advantage
High compression efficiency: Vertical pressure directly acts on the garbage, achieving a reduction ratio of 3:1 to 5:1, which is more thorough than horizontal compression.
Good sealing effect: The compression process is completed within the sealed container, effectively preventing the leakage of garbage leachate and the spread of odors.
Small footprint: The vertical structure design does not require reserved long-distance space for horizontal compression, making it suitable for use in communities with limited space.
High degree of automation: Supports functions such as scheduled compression and automatic alarm, reducing manual intervention and lowering operational intensity.
Core Structural Components
Vertical compression unit: This is the core component of the equipment, consisting of the compression cylinder, the press head, and the compression chamber. It is responsible for providing vertical pressure to complete the compaction of the garbage.
Garbage storage bin: Used for temporarily storing bulk garbage that is to be compressed. Some models have hopper-type feed openings.
Hydraulic power system: Provides power for the compression action. It mostly uses high-pressure pump stations and is equipped with pressure sensors to ensure stable pressure.
Electrical control system: Integrated PLC programmable control, supports manual/automatic dual-mode operation, equipped with emergency stop, overload protection and other safety devices.
Transfer and docking device: It can be docked with standard garbage transfer vehicles to achieve sealed transfer of compressed garbage blocks.
Technical Parameters
Compression Type | Vertical compression |
Bin Capacity(m³) | 6m³-20m³ (Professional customization) |
Height of Hook (mm) | Customize height |
Density of Garbage Compactor(kg/m³) | 750kg/m³ |
Cycle Time of Compression(s) | 45s |
Operating Mode | Automatic; manual |
Color | Customizable colors |
Material | Corrosion-resistant manganese steel |
Power | Hydraulic/Chain (Customize) |
Lifting Mode | Hydraulic four-post lifting |
Work Process
Feed stage: The bulk waste is fed into the storage bin through manual loading, bucket transfer equipment or belt conveyors.
Compression stage: The hydraulic cylinder drives the press head to move vertically downward, applying a pressure of 10 to 30 tons to the garbage, compressing it into a high-density block.
Pressure retention and shaping: The press head maintains the pressure for 30 to 60 seconds to allow the garbage block to be fully shaped, avoiding looseness.
Transfer and docking: After compression, the garbage block is pushed into the docked transfer vehicle through the push plate or lifting mechanism, completing the sealed transfer.

Notes for Attention
There are requirements for the type of garbage: Not suitable for mixed garbage containing a large amount of hard metals and large furniture, as it may damage the press head and the cavity.
The equipment has a high cost: The manufacturing costs of the vertical compression cylinder and the sealing structure are higher than those of the horizontal equipment, resulting in a greater initial investment.
Maintenance requirements are strict: Regular inspections of the cylinder seals and the quality of the hydraulic oil are necessary to prevent the compression effect from being affected due to insufficient pressure.
Height requirements: The overall height of the equipment is usually between 4 and 6 meters. The venue must have sufficient vertical space.
Installation Conditions for Vertical Trash Compactor
Foundation Requirements
Pit Dimensions: Determined based on equipment model, generally 4-6 meters long, 3-4 meters wide, and 2-3 meters deep, with an error margin of ±5cm.
Foundation Strength: Concrete grade not lower than C30; a 15-20cm thick crushed stone cushion layer is required at the bottom of the foundation.
Embedded Parts Requirements: Equipment fixing bolts, hydraulic pipeline interfaces, and electrical junction boxes must be pre-embedded, with a positional error not exceeding ±2cm.
Drainage System: A leachate collection trough with a slope ≥5‰ must be installed at the bottom of the pit, connected to a sewage treatment system.
Space Requirements: A minimum of 1.5 meters of operating space must be reserved around the equipment, and a minimum of 5 meters of vertical hoisting space must be reserved above it.
Supporting Facilities Requirements
Power Supply: 380V three-phase AC power is required, with a power output of 30-75kW depending on the equipment model. An independent distribution box and grounding protection are required.
Hydraulic System: Hydraulic oil pipelines must be laid in advance, using high-pressure seamless steel pipes with a pressure rating ≥25MPa.
Environmental Protection Facilities: A spray deodorization system and a high-pressure cleaning system are required, meeting standard requirements.
Lighting System: Lighting equipment must be installed in the operating area, including emergency lighting.
Installation Process
Pit Cleaning and Foundation Acceptance: Confirm that the pit dimensions, concrete strength, and embedded part positions meet requirements, and clean debris from the pit.
Equipment Lifting and Positioning: Use a crane to lift the main body of the compactor into the pit and align it with the embedded parts.
Component Assembly: Install the hydraulic cylinders, garbage bin assembly, and hydraulic/electrical control system sequentially. Weld the guide rails and adjust the verticality.
Pipeline Connection: Connect the hydraulic oil pipes, electrical wires, and sewage pipes. Test the deodorization system.
Commissioning and Trial Operation:Test the entire "feed-compress-exit" process using the PLC system. Check the pressure and safety interlock functions. Acceptance is granted after a 24-48 hour trial run.
Vertical Trash Compactor have become the mainstream choice for modern urban waste transfer due to their advantages such as high efficiency compression, environmental protection and low noise, and small footprint. They are particularly suitable for the current situation of scarce land resources in the process of urbanization.
