An industrial (or “commercial”) compactor is a machine which collects rubbish in a container before compacting it. The garbage is inserted at ground level, from a loading dock to a buried pit or chute. The garbage accumulates in the container until an operator initiates a compaction cycle. The waste is then forced into the container’s far end by a platen linked to a hydraulic ram. The garbage is crushed (or “compacted”) and its volume decreases by 11 times.

How do you estimate the maximum compaction attainable in a landfill?

To estimate the maximum compaction attainable in a landfill, one typically utilizes the concept of the "compaction ratio," which compares the volume of waste before compaction to its volume after compaction. This can be determined through empirical studies and laboratory tests that assess the density of various waste types under different compaction methods. Additionally, factors such as waste composition, moisture content, and the type of compaction equipment used play significant roles in achieving maximum compaction. Monitoring field conditions and implementing best practices can also enhance compaction rates in operational landfills.

What are some Examples for compaction?

Road compaction: Using heavy equipment like rollers or compactors to compress soil or asphalt to make a stable and durable road surface. Landfill compaction: Using specialized machinery to compress waste materials in a landfill to reduce volume and increase density to maximize space usage. Compaction in construction: Compacting soil or fill material before laying foundations to ensure stability and prevent settlement issues in buildings and structures.

What are the advantages of roller compaction over wet granulation?

Roller compaction can continuously produce tablets whereas wet granulation produces tablets in batches. Roller compaction is also simpler with fewer steps and it requires less equipment and floor space. As roller compaction requires less time and energy, it is less expensive than wet granulation.

What are the benefits of the WEEE directive?

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive aims to prevent the generation of electrical and electronic waste and to promote re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery in order to reduce the quantity of waste discarded. It requires the collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment and the recovery and re-use or recycling of waste collected.
