Z245.2-2004 covers safety requirements for the installation, maintenance and operation of stationary compactors. While adherence to the standards is voluntary, complying with them both decreases a manufacturer's liability and a user's likelihood of injury.

The article describes two dewatering technologies competing in the U.S. municipal wastewater market. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) describes the belt filter presses as a dewatering technology that applies pressure to the biosolids to squeeze out the water. The EPA describes centrifuge dewatering as a technology that employs a continuous-feed process wherein polymer-conditioned biosolids are introduced into a bowl, thereby causing the solids to accumulate on the bowl's interior. The advantages of centrifuges over belt filter presses include smaller footprint, drier cake production and minimal odor generation. Centrifuges also need less operator attention, maintenance and cleaning requirements. However, belt presses have lower capital costs and energy requirements.

The article discusses the challenge faced by waste management companies in managing and maintaining balers and compactors. Waste management firms sell and lease hundreds of balers and compactors to their customers every year. Many of these companies have systems that track compactors and balers from purchase through disposal in order to ensure that they get full value from the funds budgeted to buy, maintain and recondition their equipment. Purchasing and maintenance managers have built management systems not only to extract maximum value from compactors and balers, but also to manage and reduce the safety risks posed by the equipment. Most companies use one-, three-, or five-year contracts priced to pay for the equipment, as well as installation and preventive maintenance.

The articles discusses the factors that a waste company should consider before purchasing a baler or container compactor. Baler or container compactors serve an important function in the waste industry. By pushing collected solid waste and recyclables into dense blocks, they allow as much material as possible to be placed into a truck for transport to another destination. Buyers should determine the volume of waste that the baler or container compactor will have to immediately handle, says Kevin Bennett, inside product manager for Winamac, Indiana-based Galbreath Inc. After a new baler or container compactor has been purchased, the employeeswho will work with the product should be properly and thoroughly trained. Training for container compactor and baling equipment should ideally be a mix of on-site and classroom work.
