H&G Screw Compactors
Equipment developed to efficiently reduce waste volume before transfer to containers, with a heavy-duty direct electromechanical drive and automatic lubrication.
H&G Compactors
H&G Compactors are equipment developed to efficiently reduce waste volume before transfer to containers. Their high compaction ratio maximises load capacity for a range of materials, optimising transport and storage costs.
Designed for continuous operation and high-demand applications, the compactors withstand severe duty cycles 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Their robust construction ensures high durability and a long service life, even in demanding industrial environments.
Unlike conventional chain-driven systems, H&G Compactors use a heavy-duty direct electromechanical drive with automatic lubrication, reducing maintenance requirements and increasing operational reliability.
Available in stationary and mobile versions, the equipment can be integrated with a wide range of independently driven feeding devices, offering a complete solution for different types of waste. Containers are available in various capacities, up to 35 m³.

Compaction Capacity
Average values, which depend on the selected drive motor power and on the properties of the material.*
Your Benefits
Direct electromechanical drive, with low maintenance and high day-to-day reliability.
Continuous throughput of 50 to 250 m³/h, even with challenging waste fractions, thanks to the dedicated feeding devices.
Far greater compaction than conventional press systems — up to 8 t of cardboard or 9 t of wood per 31 m³ container.
Installation Variants
Our screw compactors are prepared for your preferred feeding variant and for the conditions of your site.
Direct building connection variants for full integration into your disposal flow.
Building connection with a bin tipper and belt conveyor for centralised feeding.
Ramp feeding, ideal for operations with manual or forklift loading.
