The In Drum Compactor is a purpose-built compacting equipment for the treatment of waste stored in sacks/boxes or as individual pieces collected from Class „A” chambers into 200-litre drums. Each drum has a removable lid. The lid is fastened by a split ring operated by a lever clamp. External sizes for the drums: 610 mm (height), 883 mm (diameter) with reinforcing ribs shaped on the sides. The throughput of the compactor is 2-3 drums per hour depending on the skill level of the operator and on the quality of the wastes to be compacted. The compacting technology assures that the volume reduction factor for the waste exceeds an average level of 4.
