Marathon Trash Compaction Precrushers

SHRINK DISPOSAL COSTS – GET UP TO 30% GREATER COMPACTION RESULTS THAN WITH A STANDARD TRASH COMPACTOR!

Marathon^® Trash Compactor PreCrushers eliminates “light loads” of pallets, crates, large boxes, and drums that fill your compaction container with air. The packing ram moves through the charge box with a high level of force that effectively crushes everything against the PreCrusher’s vertical steel wall. The wall is then raised and the ram fully extends, compacting the refuse into the attached container. Uniform compaction is achieved throughout the receiver container. Every stroke of a trash compaction pre-crusher is a crushing compaction stroke. The results: fewer trips to the landfill!

Precrusher Benefits:

Ideal for crushing bulk waste such as 55-gallon drums, wooden pallets, and skids
High-force crushing ram
Vertical steel crushing wall
Self-cleaning gate
Ideal for high hourly volumes and continuous-feed applications

Precrusher Features

Fully Automatic Operation

The RJ-450 HD/PC/High-Volume, RJ-575 HD/PC, and the RJ-575 EHD/PC are fully automatic. After pressing the “Start” button, the compaction ram crushes the material against the heavy steel wall in the charge chamber. The steel wall then automatically lifts and the crushed material is re-compacted into the receiver container. The PreCrusher then resets itself to await the next load.

High-Force Crushing Ram

The High-Force Crushing Ram: moves through the charge box, effectively crushing everything against the vertical steel wall. The wall is then hydraulically raised and the ram extends a full 13″ into the compaction container on the RJ-575 HD/PC / RJ-575 EHD/PC, and 12″ for RJ-450 HD/PC.

Vertical Steel Crushing Wall

While in the DOWN position, it serves as an effective crushing gate to eliminate “light loads” of material that would fill your container with air.

Low-Profile Design

The Marathon PreCrusher Low-Profile Design: enables the units to be shipped fully assembled.

Tongue and Groove Flooring

Tongue-and-groove flooring prevents thin materials from becoming trapped under the ram. Optional side tongue and groove also available.

Guided Ram

The guided packing ram movement is supported by guides, which reduces friction, improves compaction, and extends the life of the ram.

Self-Cleaning Gate

The Marathon PreCrusher Self-Cleaning Gate has a beveled design that prevents crushed materials from sticking to the door.

Heavy-Duty Construction

The PreCrusher charge box, sides, ram top, floor, and faceplates are specially engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications.

Programmable Controller

A Programmable Controller standard on automatic PreCrusher units, the controller simplifies operation and eliminates many relays and limit switches.
