Vertical Waste Compression Station: The main structure consists of a vertically oriented compression cylinder and compression head. Waste is fed into the hopper from the top, and the compression head compacts the waste from top to bottom. The compressed waste blocks are temporarily stored vertically inside the container. During transfer, the entire container or waste blocks are vertically lifted and connected to the transfer vehicle.
Horizontal Waste Compression Station: The main structure consists of a horizontally arranged compression shovel and container. Waste is fed into the side or top feeding port. The compression shovel moves horizontally back and forth to compact the waste. The compacted waste blocks are temporarily stored horizontally. During transfer, the container is horizontally lifted and connected to the transfer vehicle, and the compression shovel horizontally pushes the waste blocks into the vehicle.
Vertical Waste Compression Station: Relies on gravity and the immense pressure of vertical hydraulic cylinders for compaction, achieving a compression ratio of 1:4-1:6. It is extremely effective for compacting loose, lightweight waste such as plastics and waste paper. A single compression cycle takes approximately 3-5 minutes, but due to its vertical structure, the capacity per container is typically 8-15 tons.
Horizontal Waste Compression Station: Compacts waste using the horizontal pressure of a compression shovel, achieving a compression ratio of 1:3-1:5. It is more adaptable to kitchen waste and mixed waste. A single compression cycle takes 2-4 minutes and can achieve continuous compression through continuous feeding. The capacity per container can reach 10-25 tons, making it suitable for large-scale centralized transfer scenarios.
Vertical Type: The equipment occupies a small area (only 8-12㎡), requiring no large transport vehicle turning space, making it suitable for narrow spaces such as old urban areas, back streets and alleys, and within residential communities; however, it requires high foundation bearing capacity, and the foundation pit construction is more difficult.
Horizontal Type: The equipment occupies an overall area of 15-25㎡, requiring horizontal space for transport vehicle docking, suitable for open spaces such as along main urban roads, industrial parks, and large communities; foundation pit construction is relatively simple, and above-ground or underground installation can be used, with minimal visual impact on the surrounding environment.
Vertical Type: The operation process is relatively complex, requiring dedicated personnel to control multiple stages such as compression, lifting, and docking. The core components are the vertical hydraulic cylinder and sealing device. Due to waste corrosion and vertical pressure, the sealing rings and cylinder piston rods wear out quickly, requiring frequent maintenance.
Horizontal Type: Supports semi-automatic/fully automatic operation. The entire process of feeding, compression, and transfer can be controlled via remote control or PLC system. Some models can operate unattended. The core components are the horizontal compression shovel and guide rails. Wear is concentrated on the shovel head and guide rails, resulting in lower maintenance costs and easier troubleshooting.
Vertical Type: The equipment purchase cost is 15%-25% higher than the horizontal type with the same processing capacity, but the subsequent waste transfer cost is lower. Sealing is more difficult, and odor leakage is prone to occur, requiring additional powerful ventilation and deodorization systems.
Horizontal Type: The equipment purchase cost is lower, and the installation period is shorter. The fully sealed tank design effectively prevents waste leakage and odor diffusion, resulting in better environmental performance. It is suitable for commercial areas and tourist areas with high environmental requirements.
