A compactor is very safe to operate and requires no special skills. All compactors are reliable and thoroughly tested to ensure that they meet the highest safety standards.

Everyone can safely load the machine. All mechanical and electrical parts are placed inside the machine, out of reach for users. Furthermore, several safety features are in place to protect the user. The control panel is placed on the outside of the machine and gives the user easy access to start the machine. An emergency stop is also placed on the control panel within fast and easy reach.

Our compactors are manufactured by our trusted German collaborator, Presto. Presto has more than 50 years of experience within the area of environmental engineering and their products are highly recognized in the business. They all carry the EU CE marking and meet the essential requirements for health and safety set forth by the European Union. In addition, two machine groups are certified according to GS, Geprüfte Sicherheit, which means that they have been tested by a German state-approved independent laboratory to prove and ensure their safety.

As a company, Presto is certified with the ISO 9001 and SmS, Sicherheit mit System, certificates, which means that the company assesses and considers the quality and safety requirements of their customers and the requirements of the applicable standard. This is your guarantee that each Presto product will meet or beat the highest requirements of safety anytime.

Yes, you can. If your compactor will be placed in a place with public access, you can prevent unauthorized people from using it with a digital auto lock.

The lock prevents people from throwing waste into the compactor and running a press cycle. The lock can be controlled with a pin code or a key tag. This way, only you and the people you give the pin code or a key tag to can use the compactor.

A digital auto lock can be a good idea if many people have access to the compactor, if the compactor is unattended, or if people have access to the compactor during all hours of the day.

Yes, you can. However, the type of compactor that you need, depends on the shape and the volume of the wood material.

Please consult with us before using your compactor for wood and other hard and bulky materials.

Before installing your static or screw compactors you need to prepare some structural or site adaptions.

The compactor must be installed on a solid, leveled ground. The press unit must be properly installed by being bolted to the ground, which must be concrete or pavement, or by being bolted to the building.

You also need to lay out guiding rails in the floor to make sure the container unit is positioned correctly on the press unit. Finally, you need to make sure that you have the correct electrical connection in place.

Our experienced team of consultants can help you clarify what you need to take into account and what you need to prepare to get the best start with your compactor.
