Astech Group’s waste compactors are heavy duty models designed and developed in Australia, an engineered solution for every waste compaction problem. Built tough for Australian industries that deal with high waste volumes, our compactors continuously feed and compress material, keeping your operation moving without unnecessary downtime.
From general waste, paper, and cardboard to timber, foils, pre crushed polystyrene, and PET bottles, our compactors are made to handle a wide range of waste streams efficiently. They deliver strong, consistent compaction that cuts transport costs, saves time, and keeps sites cleaner and safer.
Compaction Performance
Our compactors are engineered to deliver reliable compaction results across a wide range of material types:
| Material | Compaction |
|---|---|
| Paper and Cardboard | Up to 250kg/m³ |
| Heavy Duty Cardboard | Up to 250kg/m³ |
| Residual Waste | Up to 300kg/m³ |
| Foils | Up to 200kg/m³ |
| Wood | Up to 250kg/m³ |
| PET bottles without deformer | Up to 150kg/m³ |
| PET bottles with deformer | Up to 200kg/m³ |
Types of Compactors Available
Our compactor range covers a full spread of compaction needs, from simple single stream sites through to high volume, mixed waste operations.
Single Auger Compactors
A reliable, straightforward option for sites with lower volume or simpler waste streams. The single auger design delivers steady, consistent compaction with a compact footprint, making it a strong fit for sites with tighter space constraints.
Twin Auger Compactors
Built for Australian industries that deal with high waste volumes. Using a powerful dual screw system, the twin auger compactor continuously feeds and compresses material, keeping operations moving without unnecessary downtime. It handles a variety of waste streams efficiently, including general waste, cardboard, plastics, foils, timber, and PET bottles.
It’s a great fit for:
- Waste management facilities wanting to improve compaction efficiency and lower collection frequency.
- Manufacturing plants managing timber offcuts, packaging, and mixed production waste.
- Distribution centres where packaging waste and recyclables need to be compacted quickly.
- Recycling depots that process materials like PET bottles, foils, and cardboard.
- Large retail or packaging operations looking to reduce waste transport costs and environmental impact.
Auger Compactors with Pre Shredders
For bulky or tougher materials that need breaking down before compaction. Adding a pre shredding unit ahead of the auger allows the compactor to handle materials that would otherwise jam or reduce compaction efficiency, giving sites with tougher or more variable waste streams a more capable setup.
Blade Compactors
An alternative compaction method suited to certain waste types, using a blade mechanism rather than an auger screw. Blade compactors offer another way to achieve strong, consistent compaction depending on the material and site requirements.
Compactor Bins
A fully enclosed, ready to collect compaction and storage solution. Compactor bins combine compaction and containment in one unit, suited to sites that want a self contained system for collection and transport.
