How Does It Work?"I have been using [this service] to monitor and dispatch pickups for my waste compactors at various hotel properties around the country since 1990. In every instance the properties have saved large sums of money by eliminating unnecessary compactor pull charges thereby improving profitability. We were (in each situation) literally throwing money away before using [this service]. I would recommend [this service] to anyone currently using regularly scheduled waste hauling who wishes to save a good deal of money with little effort or investment."
Director of Facilities, Our monitor consists of a fiberglass, lockable enclosure which is UL Listed and has a Because the device can derive its electrical power from the compactor control panel, no additional electrical source is needed. A 5000 PSI pressure transducer is also located within the enclosure and is connected to the compactor “high pressure” hydraulic hose. Pressure transducers with higher ratings can easily be used if needed. The pressure transducer constantly sends data to the processor board which, when the compactor is running, records and stores the pressure during the cycle. The compactor data stored on our device is backed up by a rechargeable battery which will preserve the data for at least three (3) days. Several antenna types can be connected to the radio including two antenna types that remain concealed within the enclosure. A larger “gain” antenna can be mounted on the top, outside portion of the closure if needed. We accurately track compactor functions such as pressures levels, cycle time, time of operation, and usage twenty-four hours a day. The device can be polled at any time for delivery of real time data. The device can also be configured to automatically report data up to three (3) times per day. Our trained waste industry specialists then review the data and contact the waste hauler to schedule a pickup. What ongoing onsite maintenance or calibration is required? None. Once we install the monitor, it requires no onsite maintenance and can be wirelessly configured to alter the times when it automatically reports data to our server.
