High efficiency processing www.heason.com
Compacting waste such as cardboard and
packaging materials reduces volume and assists
with disposal or material recovery processing – and
is also made more efficient and productive with
motion control. By compressing materials in
machines fitted with competitively priced electric
actuators driven by geared motors, high
performance and high efficiency processing is
possible for machines of all sizes.
As opposed to machinery using hydraulic
actuators, the processing remains clean and
ultimately more controllable with the added benefit
of quieter operation. The machines that fulfil these
tasks include various sized equipment that can
