Make, Model & Classification
| Name | Compactor: Pneumatic |
| Model | Mil-tek Model X-Press 100 |
| Classification | Compacting/Compressing |
Operations
| Description or Purpose | For the compacting of mixed wet and dry waste such as food waste, general waste, hazardous waste & off shore waste. |
| Operating Principles | Mil-tek design their equipment to be simple. Ultra simple. The Xpress is simply a drum on a wagon that moves under a pressing plate. The drum is lined with a recycled plastic bag, and over 2000kg of down force presses the air out of the material. The bag is the tied off, and the drum opens to release the sealed bag of compacted material. Full training and photographic simple instructions are provided with every installation. Video training resources are also available. |
| Additional Information | Save 90% on labour and general waste bin space: Only walk to the bin 1 in 10 times. Air powered: Food safe - no toxic hydraulic oils to add food risk, mess, or to dispose of upon servicing. Virtually silent. Most energy efficient machine, with a patented EcoDrive power system, and easy to use. Small footprint: The machine can be put right in close to where the waste is generated. More space, less mess, better hygiene and the solution to overflowing bins! |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
