Alan Ross Machinery in Partnership With CAEB International Introduces the Omnipress 800 Compactor.

The Omnipress 800 is a rotary compactor/baler engineered to reduce waste material size by as much as 75%.  Its heavy-duty design is intended for industrial use, but its appearance and controls are suitable for commercial environments.  Compacting produces a bale that is approximately 32 inches (80 cm) long, with a diameter of 16 inches (40 cm) and has an average weight of approximately 88 lbs (40kg).  The complete compacting cycle for each bale is about 4 minutes, with a estimated capacity of 1765 lbs (800 kg) per hour.


Advantages of the CAEB 800 Compactor:



1.) Flexibility: The Omnipress can compact and package (tie) cardboard, film, fabrics, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, wooden and plastic crates, medical waste and binding materials, and more.  Ask us about your application.  Its ability to compact expanding materials like foam rubber also sets it apart.

2.) Simplicity:  The operator only has to feed the material to the charging chamber and the machine does the rest.  The automatic tie, and automatic eject makes this a one person  operation.  


3.) Mobility: At just 43 inches (110 cm) long, 53 inches (134 cm) deep, and about 79 inches (200 cm) high, and a weight of less than 2,000 lbs (875 kg), this machine can be easily transported using a forklift or pallet truck.  It can also be easily incorporated into continuous production lines.

4.) Safety: The Omnipress is equipped with numerous safety devices, including safety switches and an automatic safety bar that stops the machine’s operations when the operator comes into contact with the charging chamber.  The safety frame ensures that an adequate distance is maintained from the automatic opening where the bale is slowly ejected.  A sensor prevents the compactor from being overloaded and the unit has a reversing mechanism for dealing with overfeeding of materials.
