Additional Ball Valves: Ball valves are a vital addition when managing liquid waste containment and discharge. By integrating multiple high-quality ball valves into your compactor system, operators can easily control and isolate fluid flow during cleanouts or maintenance. These valves are especially useful in wet waste applications, as they enable faster and safer liquid evacuation from the compactor’s Qwik Clean® Tank or other liquid-holding areas without needing to disconnect piping or compromise system pressure.
Hoses & Piping: Heavy-duty hoses and industrial-grade piping enhance the efficiency and safety of your waste system by ensuring smooth and leak-free transport of fluids. Custom piping configurations allow you to connect the compactor to remote pump-out stations, floor drains, or additional containment tanks. Reinforced, weather-resistant hoses are also available to withstand the corrosive effects of waste fluids and extreme temperatures, providing long-term durability and operational flexibility.
Pump-Out Tank: A pump-out tank is ideal for facilities dealing with significant liquid waste. This external tank collects liquids from the compactor’s Qwik Clean® Tank, reducing the frequency of direct waste container swaps and minimizing mess. Available in various capacities, pump-out tanks are typically made of heavy-duty materials like polyethylene or stainless steel and are outfitted with fittings for seamless integration into the compactor’s liquid management system. They’re particularly useful in foodservice and healthcare settings where hygiene is a priority.
Pump: For systems that handle large amounts of wet waste, integrating a dedicated pump enhances liquid transfer and overall cleanliness. Pumps are designed to quickly evacuate fluids from the compactor’s containment areas to a designated discharge location or pump-out tank. These high-performance pumps are available in electric or air-powered configurations, and they come with controls that sync with the compactor’s cycle, helping maintain a cleaner, drier compactor environment and reducing the risk of overflows.

The StreamLine liquid control option is an advanced feature available for both stationary and self-contained compactors from The Mark-Costello Co. It’s designed to help manage high-moisture waste by draining liquids expressed during compaction before the waste is hauled away. This system includes engineered floor passages, internal plumbing, and four-inch drains at each corner of the container, all working together to allow excess liquid to be safely removed through a controlled valve system.
When waste with high liquid content is compacted, the pressure forces the liquid out of the waste material. With the StreamLine option, these liquids flow through a network of built-in floor passages and internal pipes, eventually exiting the compactor through strategically placed corner drains. A ball valve installed on the system allows for easy drainage of the liquids, helping to keep the waste inside drier and more manageable while reducing risk of leakage during transport.
Using the StreamLine liquid control system can lead to several operational advantages. By draining off excess liquids, the overall weight of each load is reduced, which in turn lowers hauling and disposal costs. Additionally, the removal of liquids can help minimize the likelihood of spills, improve sanitation, and reduce odors. For businesses dealing with wet waste on a regular basis, these benefits contribute to cleaner, safer, and more cost-effective waste handling.
Yes, the StreamLine liquid control system is fully sealed and factory-tested to ensure leakproof performance. The internal plumbing and drain components are built to contain liquids entirely within the unit until they are intentionally drained via the ball valve. This reduces the risk of unwanted leaks or spills on-site or during transit, offering peace of mind and compliance with sanitation regulations.
To further enhance the functionality of the StreamLine system, The Mark-Costello Co. offers a range of optional accessories. These include additional ball valves, hoses, external piping, pump-out tanks and pumps for easier liquid collection, and ozone-based odor control systems. Customers can also opt for cart dumpers, material chutes, and protective doghouses to improve safety and workflow in waste disposal areas.
Absolutely. By draining liquids before transport, the system helps reduce unpleasant odors that typically arise from stagnant or fermenting waste. This proactive approach not only improves the working environment around the compactor but also makes maintenance easier by minimizing the buildup of liquids inside the container. For even greater odor reduction, the system can be paired with an optional ozone odor-control unit, which neutralizes smells without the use of chemicals or fragrances.
