Marathon Equipment Takes Self-Contained Compactors to a Higher Level with SC2
"We are very excited about the SC2 as it addresses head-on the maintenance issues customers have been facing since the creation of the self-contained concept. Instead of the traditional crisscross cylinder head design, we engineered a straight-cylinder design and elevated the cylinders an additional foot," said industry veteran,
Self-contained compactors are essential to grocery stores, hospitals, big box stores, schools and virtually any other business that deals with large volumes of garbage, especially organic waste. Traditional compactor designs, particularly those in wet waste environments, have an issue with the cylinders that power the packer head, as they often reside in liquid waste. That is only further compounded by a lack of cleaning and/or routine preventative maintenance that is common in the industry. All of those potential shortcomings are alleviated with the design of the new SC2. Further, if a cylinder fails, the technician isn't standing in a wet, cramped environment. Anyone who has worked on a compactor will immediately see the benefit.
