  • Page 12: Function Description

    As you probably know from your own experience, great volumes of waste and refuse are still disposed of in open containers. Loose collection leads to low effective volumes and frequent transport for disposal. Your container fills up quickly, waste materials roll around in the container and the cost of waste disposal is high. The Epax Systems Jumbo Mobile Compactor, which is placed next to open containers as an additional unit, provides significant advantages for waste disposal. It will help you reduce the number of disposal transport runs to an efficient minimum, while allowing you to keep your old waste disposal system.
  • Page 13: Technical Data

    Adjustment is automatic and infinitely variable, but load-dependent. The travel speed is based on the unit’s load. The joystick is used to start driving. The variable pump is controlled based on the speed of the Epax Systems Jumbo Mobile Compactor. The higher the load on the Epax Systems Jumbo Mobile Compactor, the lower the ideal utilization of the overall capacity. The joystick can also be used to affect the control in such a way that the Epax Systems Jumbo Mobile Compactor is slowed down to a halt.
  • Page 14 The steering and operating hydraulics are supplied with oil by a triple hydraulic gear pump. The gear pump is connected to the variable pump of the travel drive. The hydraulic system is equipped with pressure limitation valves, filters and an oil cooler. Electrical system The electrical system has an operating voltage of 12 Volt. The consumers and their supply lines are equipped with fuses.
