XM Bag Packer Series

The XM Series compactors are bag packers normally installed in below grade trash rooms, used in conjunction with a trash chute system in high-rise apartment buildings. The units can also be hand fed. The unit typically compacts and extrudes trash into heavy duty trash bags. Single or multiple bags are available. Using the multiple bag system, the unit will compact and extrude up to 500 lbs. of trash before bag removal is required. This system is ideal for times when the machine may be unattended, such as over weekends, etc. Operation is completely automatic, being activated by an electric eye which reacts to the presence of trash in the hopper. The system automatically shuts down when the bag is full.

The XM Series consists of the Model XM-40 and the XM-40M. The Model XM-40 is the full-size machine, while the XM-40M is slightly shorter for applications where a standard length machine will not fit. Both machines are equipped with an electrically interlocked hopper door, located on the hopper front, for service access.

520 Container Packer Series

The 520 Series compactors are normally installed in street level trash rooms and used in conjunction with a trash chute system in high-rise buildings. Operation is automatic, with the unit being activated by an electric eye which senses trash in the loading hopper. These units are typically used with two cubic yard compaction containers which, when full, are wheeled outside for pick-up by a commercial trash service. The unit automatically shuts down when the container is full.

The series consists of the Model 520A, 520ESII, 520T5, 520T1 and 520SS. The Model 520A is the standard full-size machine equipped with a 5 HP power unit for high volume applications. For smaller buildings, the Model 520ESII, also a full-size machine, provides an economical solution with a 1 HP power unit. The 1830-3005 (5 HP) and 1830-3001 (1 HP) are ideally suited for those situations where shortened room length makes it impossible to use a normal length container packer. Through the innovative use of two cylinders mounted crosswise within the machine, the overall length of the machine can be shortened without sacrificing the compaction chamber size. The Model 520SS is specially designed to fit into very small trash rooms where the shortest container packer is required.
