What are the common types of trash compactors?

Stand-Alone Trash Compactor – Stand-alone compactors are ideal for handling wet or liquid waste, preventing spills and leaks during compaction and transport.

Stationary Trash Compactor – Stationary compactors are designed for handling dry waste, including cardboard recycling and general waste. They include transfer station compactors, loading dock compactors, and heavy-duty industrial models, each tailored for specific waste types and volumes. A professional waste equipment supplier and sales representative can help facilities select the best compactor based on throughput and space constraints.

Auger Trash Compactor – These specialized machines use a rotating screw mechanism to shred and compact large, bulky waste. Auger compactors operate continuously, delivering high compaction rates and are ideal for handling commercial and industrial waste containing oversized items.

Mobile Trash Compactor – These models are mobile and versatile, suitable for temporary sites, events, or locations where permanent installation is impractical. Vertical Waste Compactors – Space-saving and convenient, vertical compactors compress waste in an upward/downward motion, fitting into tight areas and offering flexible container management.

Hopper Trash Compactor – Hopper Trash Compactor is a device that receives garbage through a hopper (feed port) and compacts the garbage using a mechanical or hydraulic system. It is widely used in sanitation, industry, commerce and other scenarios.

Bucket Trash Compactor– Bucket Trash Compactor is a sanitation equipment that integrates the functions of automatic bucket-turning and loading and garbage compression and volume reduction. It is mainly used for efficient treatment of various types of domestic garbage, commercial garbage or industrial garbage. Its core principle is to automatically dump the garbage in the standard garbage can into the compression chamber through a mechanical or hydraulically driven bucket-turning device, and then use the compression mechanism to strongly compact the garbage, thereby reducing the volume of garbage, improving the efficiency of transportation, and reducing the risk of secondary pollution.

Split Trash Compactor – Split Waste Compactor is a device commonly used in garbage disposal. Through the design of separating the "compression host" and the "garbage bin", it can achieve functions such as garbage volume reduction and improved transfer efficiency.

Wet refuse Trash Compactor – Wet refuse Trash Compactor are designed based on the characteristics of high moisture content and easy perishability. They achieve volume reduction and pre-treatment through functions such as squeezing and dehydration. They are widely used in concentrated wet garbage production scenarios and harmless treatment chains.

Underground Trash Compactor – The main body of the Underground Trash Compactor is buried underground (only the feeding port and the operation panel are left on the ground), which does not occupy the ground space and has a neat appearance. Underground garbage compression station is mainly suitable for densely populated areas such as residential areas, parks, shopping malls, schools, etc., especially for places with high requirements for environmental beauty.
