Designed to Handle Heavy Industrial Manufacturing Waste
Compaction
Mark-Costello's RamJet RJ-550 is
a high capacity, heavy-duty compactor ideal for industrial and commercial
applications where large volumes of solid waste are generated. Its rugged
construction and large hydraulic power unit allow maximum compaction
performance. The RJ-550 features a large 96 1/2" x 60" clear top opening to
accommodate oversized crates and cartons.
Built to Last...
A quality built unit, the RJ-550
is solidly reinforced with 4" I-beams throughout. The sturdy ram has a 1/2" face
plate. Sides are constructed of 3/16" thick steel supported by 14 vertical
angles with 1x4 bar running horizontally on each side of the charge box area for
increased rigidity and strength. The tough 1"x8"x6" angle breaker bar easily
handles the beating of daily industrial trash.
Ram Guide System
The packing ram is supported by
specially formulated cast iron shoes which ride on replaceable wear strips. This
exclusive design protects the charge box floor from the full force of the
packing ram, extending its life and dramatically reducing compaction-robbing
friction.

Transfer Station...
The
RJ-550 is also designed for residential collection
vehicles serving transfer station applications for
municipalities and private contractors. A conveniently
located RJ-550 transfer facility will eliminate the need
for unnecessary trips to the landfill by intermediate
collection vehicles resulting in fuel, maintenance and
labor cost reductions. Compaction into large compaction
containers or transfer trailers may also reduce dumping
fees.
Side-Mount Power Unit
 Mark-Costello's Side-Mounted
Power Unit, the first in the industry, offers the convenience and
ease-of-maintenance of a remote power pack with the space savings of an
integrated power pack. This new configuration eliminates ALL electrical
components inside the compactor.
The Pump on Mark-Costello's high performance Side-Mounted Power Unit is
secured to a "C" flange TEFC motor with a machined bracket that guarantees
coupling alignment. The Limit Switch and all other parts of the power unit are
easily accessible for ease-of-maintenance. The Reset Button for the Motor
Starter is also located on the outside which eliminates entry into the control
box. |
