Orwak Flex 1100: The Smarter Way To Handle Large Bin Waste
Waste handling is often one of those hidden costs in business operations. For hotels, restaurants, and facilities across Australia, overflowing bags and frequent bin collections are more than just an eyesore — they take up valuable space, add to labour time, and increase transport costs.
The new Orwak FLEX 1100 is designed to tackle this head-on.
Filling the gap in waste compaction
Until now, Orwak’s in-bin compactors covered smaller 240 L and 360 L bins. For sites relying on 1100 L bins, options were limited. Many had to manage bulky waste manually or invest in equipment that wasn’t practical for their space.
The FLEX 1100 closes this gap. Built to fit any brand of 1100 L bin, it delivers the same roll-in, roll-out simplicity the FLEX range is known for — but now for high-capacity waste streams.
With a 3:1 compaction ratio, it reduces the volume of bagged waste directly inside the bin, cutting down on storage space and reducing the frequency of collections.
Designed for hospitality and beyond
The FLEX 1100 is especially valuable in:
- Hotels and resorts, where bins fill quickly and space is at a premium.
- Restaurants and catering venues, where hygiene and efficiency matter.
- Event facilities, where waste peaks during busy times.
By compacting waste inside the bin, it keeps lids closed, odours contained, and staff handling to a minimum.
Features that make a difference
- Small footprint — only 1 m² required.
- Cycle time: 44 seconds.
- Press force: 4 ton / 40 kN.
- Safe and compliant — two-hand operation, Performance Level C.
- Quiet performance at 62 dB(A), protecting staff from excessive noise.
- Galvanized lifting plate safeguards bin wheels.
- Flexible controls — operating panel can be mounted on either side.
- Multigrade oil included for reliability in both hot and cold Australian conditions.
A practical return on investment
Compacting waste directly in the bin reduces the number of collections required, which cuts transport costs and lowers CO₂ emissions. Over time, businesses gain back valuable staff hours spent managing waste, and reclaim floor space previously lost to bulky rubbish.
In short: the FLEX 1100 helps businesses spend less time and money on waste, and more on what matters most — serving their customers.
