About the Pendulum Packer
The pendulum packer is a fixed packing system
situated between the hopper and the body. It has no
rails, no blade and runs quietly as the truck is in
operation collecting solid and organic waste directly
into the hopper on top of the packing mechanism in
action.
The pendulum packer works by simply swinging up
and down to receive and pack solid or organic waste.
One side of the packer moves under the waste waiting
to be packed while the other side pushes the waste into
the body.
The pendulum packer is supported by single hinged
rods on each side. External hydraulic cylinders, one on
each side of the hopper, are utilized to power these
rods. And because they are installed outside of the
hopper, these cylinders are fully accessible for ease of
maintenance. When retracting the cylinders move the
pendulum packer upwards; when extending they move
the packer downwards, pushing the waste into the
body.
