Waste collection system: Venus

"VENUS" waste collection system for side-loading compactorsConsidering that side-loading trucks are commonly used for waste collection in towns, Ecogest has designed a new system that allows Municipal Districts to reduce the both the environmental impact of waste and the frequency of collections; the result is an extremely innovative large capacity skip that allows waste collection operators to collect waste simply and easily.Venus may also be unloaded on trucks with traditional bin unloading attachment.How it works"Venus" consists of an underground tank with top lid. The tank contains a skip positioned under the single central loading mouth of the tank. The users presses a button on the loading mouth to open the loading tower and place the garbage in the skip. The tower may be closed by pressing the closing button or in any case closes automatically after a preset time. A photocell reads the garbage level and stops the system when a preset level is reached; in this case the text "skip full" is displayed.The large 4.2 cu.m. skip is made of treated steel plate. A hydraulic lifting system takes the skip to ground level.The system is 2.7 (L) x 2.0 (W) x 2.3 (H) metres HTechnical Data:UNDERGROUND SKIP FOR SEPARATE WASTE COLLECTIONSIDE-LOADING OR BIN CLAMPING COMPACTORType: Single-body design (outer tank, internal skip, mobile lid)Loading Mouth: Circulardiameter: 60 cmheight:    1,05 m.capacity: 200 litreslid opening system: electric 24Vdc, by means of button on Loading Mouthlid closing system: electric 24Vdc, by means of button and timer (timer guarantees closing of loading mouth)Mobile System Lid: Opening on short side of tank parallel to road surfacewidth: 2,0 m.length: 2,7 widthTANK width: 1,98 m.length: 3,350 m.height: 2,53 m.SKIPScapacity: 4000 litres (4 m.3)material: Steel sanded and painted with epoxy tarLIFTING SYSTEMType: HydraulicSkip Full Indication: red L.E.D. flashes and lid of loading mouth is blocked when skip is fullPower: 3 Kw Voltage 400V 50Hz three-phase + neutralSpace required for installation (excavation)width: 2,4 m. length: 3,4 m. height: 2,4 m. including 10 cm levelled gravel or R.C. slab if water is presentOPERATING SYSTEMType: with remote controlbuttons:n.4functions: opening button, closing button, safety button, lid opening buttonOPTIONSDifferent shapes and materials for the Loading MouthDifferent types of covering for the mobile lid synthetic grass, asphalt etc.More Infos on VENUS waste collection systems
