Operating Principles | Two chambers side by side with an easy to slide press head, top loading operation so no doors to keep opening and closing, single phase, 3 ton press unit will give you bales of cardboard up to 50kg and plastic up to 80kg. Add more chambers any time for greater throughput. |
Additional Information | 5070 is easily re-sited as required to bring it closer to the point of material generation. Move with a pallet truck or forklift and plug into a standard 10 amp power point. System also available for wet waste into 660ltr Sulo bins and greater weight and sized bales. |

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
