In short, the difference between a static compactor and a self-Contained Compactor is whether the press unit stays on-site or if it is attached to and follows the container.
Static compactor
A static compactor is designed to stay on-site. The press unit and the container unit are separate units and the press unit is bolted to a concrete base.
The container is attached to the press unit by ratchets. When the container is full, it is picked up for emptying and a replacement container is put into position on the press unit.
The static compactors are very well suited to handle very large amounts of waste and in situations where the is a need for constant filling.
Self-Contained Compactor
In a Self-Contained Compactor, the press unit is integrated with the container. This means that the entire unit is picked up for emptying when it is full.
The Self-Contained Compactor is often slightly smaller and have less capacity than a static compactor, because it must be easy to pick up and transport on a truck.
The Self-Contained Compactor is suitable for applications where space is confined. They can handle a wide range of waste materials including cardboard, paper, plastic, combustible waste or organic waste.
The difference between a static compactor and a Self-Contained Compactors is whether the press unit stays on-site or if it is attached to the container.
A static compactor consists of two separate units – the press unit and the container unit. The press unit is bolted to a concrete base and stays on on-site.
In a Self-Contained Compactors, the press unit is integrated with the container. This means that both the container and the press unit is picked up for emptying.
It is possible to integrate your static or screw compactor with the building, e.g., with a wall hopper that enables feeding from inside directly into the compactor through the wall. This can be an advantage if you generate a lot of your waste inside. With a wall hopper, you can streamline your waste handling by eliminating having to go outside to dispose your waste into the compactor.
