Application: The XM-40 is an extrusion-type compactor, suitable for all chute fed applications of residential type refuse. An extremely rugged machine, trash can be compacted into single or multiple bag systems. Using multi-bag operation, it can produce ten bags of compacted refuse without attention, an ideal solution to time periods when no maintenance personnel are available. The extruded tube of refuse is simply separated into individual bags for removal. General Description: A hydraulically operated concentric ram compactor utilizing the extrusion principle. Refuse is forced through the nose of the compactor, which contains a unique set of restrictors. The compactor body and compaction chamber are rugged and durable. They are tubular in shape, forming one continuous body of high strength 3/8" steel plate. The ram is similarly constructed of ¼" plate with a compaction of 1" plate. The hopper is constructed of a 14 gauge steel, with a ¼" impact plate.
