Cubic Yard Box Compactor: A336-1001-8PB
American Compactor, Inc. has developed a pneumatic powered compactor for cubic yard boxes
which are 3' x 3' x 3'. Many companies are beginning to use these boxes instead of 55 gallon drums.
Frequently, as with drums, customers have a need to compact the material in the container.

This compactor is equipped with an 8" pneumatic cylinder which is able to exert 6,000 pounds or
2,724 kg of force at 120 psi air pressure. It is very easy to use. The box must be centered under the
ram plate and then the palm buttons are pressed to begin the compaction cycle. The time it takes for
an entire compacting cycle is a fast 25 seconds.

These compactors were designed with safety in mind. The actuator is a two-hand, no tie-down safety
circuit that provides output only when both palms are pressedwithin two tenths of a second. If the
buttons are released, the compaction plate is automatically retracted. The purpose of this control
mechanism is to meet O.S.H.A. requirements for certain specific customer safety applications.

There are numerous uses for these units. Hazardous waste materials are ideal applications as well
as semi-solid matter. Customers have realized major cost savings by compacting used paint filters,
rags and wipes, paint masking material, and disposable clothing and gloves into cubic yard boxes.
Not only does this insure compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency, waste disposal
expenses are reduced dramatically.

The Smash It TM Pneumatic Compactors are effortless to use. There are no loud noises, they are
quiet. With the rapid cycle time, one is able to efficiently use whatever human resources are available.
