Machine that packs down soil by using a motor driven weighted flat plate, which rests on the ground and vibrates.
a type of roll-off container that includes a device inside that compacts or compresses the materials inside as it fills up. Compacting the trash or recyclables allows space for more items to be placed inside and reduces the number of times the container needs to be emptied. Many of Waste Management's trucks also have compactors - called packers - inside their boxes, where trash is collected.
Any power-driven mechanical equipment designed to compress waste materials. Usually attached to an enclosed rolloff container.
Equipment that densifies recyclable material and contains it under pressure, not allowing it to expand until it is unloaded.
Equipment that reduces and compacts the volume of waste materials.
10- to 40-cubic-yard closed containers in which debris is compressed to save space. There are two types: the break-away, in which the hydraulic compacting ram and container unit are separate pieces of equipment; and the self-contained, where the ram and container are one unit.
A compactor is a machine or mechanism used to reduce the size of waste material or soil through compaction.
