The Gradeall G140 pre-crush compactor has been designed to crush large bulky solid waste into smaller volumes for more efficient compaction.
Available with a range of different hopper options including:
Sliding Door Hopper
Open Top Hopper
The G140 Pre-Crush compactor is simple in its operation, a large heavy-duty sliding door at the end of the compactor closes to form a pre-crush chamber. This allows the material to be crushed inside the machine a number of times to reduce its volume substantially. Once the volume is reduced, the door is then opened and the crushed waste is ejected into a regular 20 or 40ft container attached to the end of the compactor. This machine has been built to comply with the same CHEM standards as the other machines in our static compactor range, meaning any compactor container can be used.
The Pre Crush will ensure that there is uniform compaction throughout the waste stream, in other words, all of the waste is well compacted before it goes into the container.
All memory of the shape of an object is obliterated by the G140 Pre-Crush compactor, it indiscriminately will crush anything put inside it. This means that bulky items will take up much less space. This is particularly beneficial with items such as sofas or wardrobes which typically would have posed a problem for waste disposal.
With greater compaction efficiency than a conventional static compactor, it is possible to get more waste into a given size of the container. A real-world example is a council in County Antrim that previously had 2 collections per day for its waste wood containers. After installing the Pre Crush they have reduced this down to one collection every 5 days, resulting in massive savings on collection services. Meaning that in this instance the compactor will pay for itself in under 18 months.

Some of the items the G140 Pre-Crush compactor will work with include:
This is by no means an exhaustive list of this machine’s abilities, it will crush almost all forms of waste.
Fully automatic cycle mode will crush material sufficently, then push it into the container. With one push of a button!
Tongue and groove floor and sides ensures that the head stays in a straight trajectory, and that material does not get wedged in between the sides.
More waste into a given container size, meaning reduced collection costs, and less space required at landfill.
Ideal for use on council amenity sites for waste streams requiring frequent collection.

Intelli-Fill remote monitoring system available
With the G140 pre-crush, a County Antrim amenity site has generated significant savings by reducing the amount of collections of the waste wood container.
