Doghouses
A Doghouse with Side Door is ideal for ground loading applications. This type of hopper offers a totally enclosed charge box and a lockable door latch. The user must specify for right or left hand loading. When more than one access is desired, an additional door is available. The Doghouse Unit can be furnished “knocked down” and prime painted, completely assembled for mounting and prime painted, or already mounted and painted the same finish as the packer.
A Doghouse with Rear Door shown on Mark-Costello’s Roll-Off Self-Contained, is ideal for all ROSC applications where the unit is picked up at the packer end and space limitations may prevent loading from the side.
The Mailbox Style Doghouse is shown on an RJ-250SC Self-contained compactor at a apartment complex drop-off station. In this example, the compactor automatically cycles after the hopper door has been opened and closed six times. The Mailbox Doghouse is also ideal for convenience centers.
The Telescoping Feed Chute/Doghouse (shown on a RJ-250SC) extends to a tenant access door and retracts for transportation to the landfill. This application is also ideal for apartment complex drop-off stations with the compactor in a corral.
The Rear Feed Hopper with a Counterbalanced Lid is ideal for dock loading applications with a lid that totally encloses the hopper opening and requires minimum effort to open and close. This unit also has a Access Interlock Switch.
A Doghouse for the Dual Recycling Compactor II (DRC II) is available in side feed, rear feed, or both (pictured), to accommodate particular loading needs.
Security Chutes
Note: The vertical latitude for the hole-in-wall can range from 49″ above ground level to 71.” It will go as high as 81″, but the effective inside height of the chute is reduced to 34″ (38″ for Rear Feed Chutes) at upper end. These are based on packer being located 36″ from the wall for side feed and packer against wall for rear feed. Laterally, the chute is adaptable to 13″ either direction off of center line provided it is no more than 58″ above ground level. Security chutes are constructed of 12 gauge steel. The Security Door is furnished as a completed assembly and consists of an outside and inside architectural trim, a steel collar which passes through the wall and will accommodate wall thicknesses up to 12″ and a security door constructed of 3/16″ steel plate with flush latch. The latch is available with lock if desired. The feed opening is 39″ x 39″.
Stationary Compactors can be fitted with a Rear Feed Security Cute to allow waste to be directed to the compactor from inside your building. Mark-Costello’s Trash Commanders, including the “Tank”, are ideal for use with the Rear Feed Security Chute due to their shorter-than-standard overall length which provides the best load angle for the chute. This feature has the same options as the Side Feed Security Chute with one exception; the chute will be furnished in four components instead of two.
A Side Feed Security Chute, shown with optional security door, can be furnished “knocked down” and all parts prime painted; the doghouse assembled ready for mounting with the chute in two components and prime painted; or the doghouse can be fully mounted and painted the same finish as the compactor unit with the chute in two components (the unit can only be loaded into rectangular compaction containers for shipping purposes). The chute in the mounted version will only be prime painted and matching paint will be provided.
Self-contained Compactors can also be equipped with Security Cutes. This RJ-88SC, with container guide, has a Rear Feed Chute that easily disconnects when the compactor is pulled for transportation to the landfill.
This self-contained has a Side Feed Security Chute. The container guide ensures that the compactor is repositioned correctly each time it is pulled to be emp tied.
