When it comes to commercial use, there are really two main types of compactors . . . Self-Contained and Stationary.
The biggest difference between Self-Contained Compactors and Stationary Compactors is the type of waste each one gathers. A Self-Contained Compactor is designed for waste that produces liquids after being compacted, with wet and granulated waste materials being placed inside to avoid the liquids creating a mess. Liquids are a big issue for compactors that aren’t self-contained.
Self-Contained Compactors have a container attached to the machine that is specifically used to gather liquid waste which helps avoid all kinds of mess that would require cleaning every time you use the compactor.
Due to a lack of a storage container for liquid waste, Stationary Compactors are best used for solid waste where there is no risk of liquids leaking during the compacting process. This makes a Stationary Compactor suitable for cardboard, paper, pallets and similar materials.
Another difference is that Stationary Compactors are secured to the ground and the actual compactor and power unit remain at your site when we disconnect and pull the receiver box from it and take it to be dumped. Whereas with Self-Contained Compactors, the receiver box and compactor are joined together as one and when it needs to be dumped, we take the entire unit with us (only the power unit is left behind at your site).
