TS-2000 Eliminates Many Transfer Station Problems

Below are a few of the common problems associated with conventional transfer stations that the TS-2000 eliminates.
 

Trailer Damage: Trailers are damaged by the continual pounding of tamping equipment. Since no tamping is required with the TS-2000, less expensive, lighter weight trailers can be used. Expensive Loader Tires: Loader tires are very expensive and must be replaced frequently due to abrasive conventional transfer station conditions. The need for tires and repairs will be virtually eliminated because the waste is fed directly into the TS-2000 by a conveyor or chute.

High Start-up Costs: A typical transfer station requires extensive site preparation including a building, ramp, loading and tamping equipment, etc. The TS-2000 only requires minimal site work. It can also be easily moved to a new location if necessary. Save 50% on Trailer Repair Costs: Compaction takes place inside the TS-2000 and not in the trailer, thus eliminating expensive trailer repair costs.

Tarp Costs: Since the trash is compacted, the tarps will not be damaged by protruding trash and can remain on the trailer during the compaction process. Closed top vs. open top trailers also aid in fuel economy: up to 30% savings! Capital Costs: No loading or tamping equipment or associated labor and repair costs.

 

How the TS-2000 Transfer System Works
 
1. To start loading the TS-2000 the machine is in "pre-charge" mode with the patented Automatic Density Regulator (ADR) in the fully closed position. Mark-Costello TS-2000 Transfer System Compactor
2. The TS-2000 compresses several strokes against the ADR to form a log nose. When maximum resistance is met, ADR begins to open to preset position. Mark-Costello TS-2000 Transfer System Compactor
3. With ADR in "extrude" position, log begins to extrude to desired length. Length is measured by three redundant counter wheels mounted on the ADR and data fed into the computerized controller. Mark-Costello TS-2000 Transfer System Compactor
4. As trash is fed into the charge chamber, the ram continues its packing cycle. The ADR continually and automatically regulates log density.

5. When counter wheels and computer determine the load is complete, the TS-2000 goes into "pack-out" mode in which the ADR fully opens and fully extends the packing ram. Mark-Costello TS-2000 Transfer System Compactor
6. The "walking floor" transfer trailer is operated into forward mode to push the nose of the log against the front wall of the trailer and thus clearing trash from the rear end of the trailer to ensure a clean separation. Mark-Costello TS-2000 Transfer System Compactor
7. Trailer pulls away and new trailer is positioned to begin new packing process. Mark-Costello TS-2000 Transfer System Compactor

Features & Benefits

Maximum Payloads: Compaction takes place in the large charge box which means no tamping is required. This ensures lower maintenance and no damage to trailers.

Efficient Transportation: No heavy compaction trailer is required – only a lighter walking floor trailer is needed for the most cost efficient transportation of compacted waste to the landfill.

Affordable: The TS-2000 is a fraction of the cost of previous, conventional industry equipment and technology.

Easy Installation: Minimal site preparation also equates to tremendous cost savings for you.

Portable: The TS-2000 can easily be moved without major loss of site preparation investment.

TS-2000 at Installation

Even though the TS-2000 can be installed at a site requiring minimal preparation, this TS-2000 fits nicely into an existing transfer station building.
