We also want to discuss one of the best things about dealing
with SP: the opportunity for customization. We believe in making waste handling
decisions easier by incorporating high end standard features and offering
site-specific optional features for our compactors. This starts with an
understanding of where and how the equipment will be used including the type
and amount of waste you are dealing with. Once this is understood, additional
equipment makes the future use of your equipment easier and maximizes
efficiency during operation.
First, the
additions that can be made to both our 5,000 and 10,000 lb. decks help with
loading, servicing the units, and safety. Deck extensions, for instance, allow
clearance for accessing the rear of a machine, as well as make it easier to
join machine decks to loading docks. We also provide OSHA and ANSI compliant
hand rails and safety gates that make loading areas more secure.
Next, our wide
selection of hoppers and chutes help you customize how you load waste into your
compactor. Whether your operation requires side loading, rear loading or a
fully enclosed design, our hoppers can be designed to accommodate almost any
height or distance from a loading wall. Similarly, chutes can be customized for
use with self-contained compactors and interlocked systems as security chutes.
Safety interlocks are also incorporated into doghouse type enclosures to
prevent unwanted usage. SP also offers many options for connecting your
compactor to a container such as compactor stands and pinning tunnels that
prevents waste from spilling when containers are pulled away from compactors.
The numerous
control features available on our equipment make using our compactors easy and
even more reliable. Beyond the interlock switches mentioned earlier, we also
manufacture infrared start systems which start compaction cycles when they
sense a full chamber. Our advance full load indicators notify you when a
container will soon be full so that you can contact your hauler and reduce
compactor downtime. Monitoring the performance of your unit is also made easier
with our many pressure and temperature gauges which will prevent your unit from
operating if oil levels get low or temperatures become too high.
These options
and many others help you accommodate any installation and plan ahead according
to how your equipment will be used. To learn more about how our standard and
optional features help you reduce your overall cost of waste disposal visit www.sp-industries.com or contact Gene Koelsch, Brad Duemler, or Adam Pool in our sales department.
