Factors To Consider Before Investing In A Rubbish Compactor

Running a manufacturing business or a factory involves many factors – the crucial one being taking care of the rubbish that is the residue of the materials used to manufacture the product. It is necessary to build a streamlined process to ensure that you maintain the prescribed standards of hygiene on your site.

Therefore, one of the first investments while planning the garbage disposal system is purchasing waste compactors. In simple terms, there are bins are built in such a way that they can accommodate large amounts of rubbish and have a mechanism that compacts the waste volume. So, while you are planning out your site designs for garbage collection, keep the following things in mind:

Identify the key installation locations

The key spots where you would install would include the factory output unit from where the garbage or rubbish is accumulated. If the garbage output is large, it might be advisable that three waste compactors are installed. If the manufacturing is unit is small, then installing one waster compactors would do.

If you are working at a big facility, then there will be other points such as near the canteen or near the entrance and exits of the site, where you will need to install trash compactors. These locations are areas where the floating population is high and as a result, the probability of garbage disposal at these points is high.

Inside manufacturing units

Given the high volume of products that are made inside the factory, it becomes imperative that waste compactors are required here also. There are cardboard compactors that companies like Orwak specialise in, ensuring the most suitable compactor are available as per your requirements. In addition, having a waste compactor will ensure that the employees and factory workers don’t litter their respective areas.

Segregate recyclable material

Install a multi-station waste compactor at every key location, like the Orwak 5070 Combi. As a result, all employees and factory workers will get into the routine of dumping recyclable waste into one compactor and non-usable waster into the other compactor. This will ease the task of segregating the reusable material which can be recycled or sold as scrap at a later date. This environment friendly move could earn you green points with the inspection commission or committee when there is a hazard inspection at your manufacturing unit.

Decide the logistics

The only thing that will convert the streamlined garbage disposition plan into a success is clear logistics plan. If you have too many waster compactors, but don’t have proper vehicles to carry the waste, then you will witness unhygienic conditions such as overflowing garbage strewn around or a foul smell. Therefore, a proper set up right from picking up the garbage load, to transporting it to the dumping ground has to be factored into the logistical plan.
