Q&A
What are the benefits of a pneumatic waste compactor versus a hydraulic compactor?
Pneumatic compactors use significantly less energy than hydraulic compactors. In addition to low power usage, Mil-tek’s patented ECO-Drive system distributes power based on resistance, so power usage is only dependent upon the volume of waste, further reducing the energy usage. Pneumatic compactors are also more hygienic, and safer for offshore environments.
How suitable are Mil-tek Offshore Waste Compactors for kitchens where food is being prepared?
Perfectly suited. They are pneumatic, so are free from inherent risk of contamination from hydraulic oil. In addition, they are extremely quite (70 dbA), and have a small floor-space footprint of around 66 cm2.
What kind of material can be compacted in a Mil-tek Offshore Waste Compactor?
All kinds of black bag waste including food scrapings and mixed, non-recyclable waste. The key is waste reduction, which the XP200S Compactor will do at a rate of 10:1, simplifying the process of offshore waste storage.
What skills are required to operate a Mil-tek machine?
Mil-tek Waste Compactors are extremely straightforward to use. A qualified Mil-tek technician will train a key staff member so that he or she understands how the machine works and can in turn train other crew members. Mil-tek compactors are designed with safety and simplicity at the forefront.
