Waste compactor

Epax Systems ROPAX Jumbo Rolling Compactor
December 18, 2019

The ROPAX Jumbo Rolling Compactor from Epax Systems, Panorama City, Calif., uses a rolling drum with sharp metal teeth to crush, macerate, tear, rip and compress waste in large open top containers/dumpsters.

The rolling drum, which weighs over 2 tons to aid in compaction, is attached to an articulating boom that moves it from one end of the container to the other and back again, crushing and compacting waste all along the way.

The ROPAX Jumbo provides effective compaction of a wide variety of items, including cardboard and other packaging, wood pallets and crates, cable reels, paper, film and foil, green waste, encapsulated polystyrene, household goods, light metals and other bulky items.

An intuitive control panel provides the option of manual operation, continuous operation or timed operation (up to 30 minutes). Unlike other compactors, the ROPAX Jumbo accepts additional waste even during the compaction process. Alternative drum configurations, including different teeth geometry or patterns are available to maximize compression rates based on the type of items disposed.

ROPAX Compactors require no special site preparation, and are ideal for distribution centers, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and more.
