Flex-D-Vider® Creates Two Variable Capacity Compartments

The Dual Recycling Compactor, the DRC II, has a total capacity of 28 cubic yards. The two variable capacity compartments are separated by a 24" high solid welded barrier. This wall prevents liquid leaking from one side to the other. The DRC II accepts and compacts unequal and unpredictable volumes of two separate discardables. This is made possible by Marathon’s patented Flex-D-Vider.

Flex-D-Vider The Flex-D-Vider is a pivoting steel wall that adjusts the compartments' capacity during the loading and packing process. For easier discharge of the materials in the smaller compartment, a hydraulic cylinder allows the operator to move the Flex-D-Vider to the vertical center of the container, relieving the pressure on the remaining waste or recyclables. Each compartment when loaded can represent as little as 30% (8.4 cubic yards) or as much as 70% (19.6 cubic yards) of the unit’s total volume. The DRC II can also be chute fed to increase customer security and reduce labor costs!

  • Increase Your Return on the Sales of Recycled Products...Two separate compartments segregate waste and recyclables which increases your return on the sales of recycled products.
  • Two Compactors in One...Separate, compact and process two different materials such as recyclables and garbage at the same time in an area where space permits only one compactor.
  • Neat and Attractive Appearance...Both recyclables and garbage are neatly contained after compaction, providing your building, facility, mall or store with a neat and attractive appearance.
  • Easy and fast installation! Installation costs are cut by half over conventional compaction systems.

  • Fire hose connection provided on each unit.
  • Factory testing to assure leakproof construction.
  • Four Individual Doors for Controlled Discharge of Compacted Material... Due to the many variable positions in which the Flex-D-Vider can be located, four individual doors are utilized for the discharge of materials. Upper Doors are top hinged and have ratchet locks that allow the door to be opened independently of the lower doors. Lower Doors are hinged in the center of the container. Each door is equipped with Marathon's standard ratchet latch and opens independently. For wet waste applications, an optional door gasket is available with Marathon’s custom designed "P" Seal, developed expressly for wet waste unitized compactor/containers. Either or both sides may be gasketed.
  • Qwik Clean Tank® with exclusive Trash Check™ is a standard feature on the DRC II. It funnels any liquid seepage occurring during compaction into an enclosed area underneath the charge box floor. The liquid is automatically discharged at the disposal site, in effect flushing the container and the area behind the ram.
 
 
 

The DRC uses a Remote Power Pack that remains on-site while the self-contained compactor container is taken to the landfill.

 

With the GreenBuilt features, the DRC becomes an environmentally friendly machine that allows separation of recyclables from the waste stream – all in one unit!

  • 5 HP Energy-efficient Submerged Power Unit or Solar Power Unit
  • Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid
  • Cushioned Ground Rollers

This DRC application features a TrashMinder monitor system. Note the two separate doghouse doors - one for trash and the other for recyclable cardboard.

   

   

Features & Benefits of the Self-Contained Wet Waste Compaction Equipment

 
   

The CYCON Life-Xtender® Cyclic Control  System: eliminates troublesome limit and pressure cycle control switches. It also reduces trash removal cost by producing superior payloads and dramatically improving cold weather performance.

The compactors meet all of ANSI and OSHA standards.

Each unit is UL Listed to assure quality and maintains the highest industry standards.

Standard double end pick-up (except HT models) which allows the unit to be loaded for hauling from either end. This is especially useful if the self-contained unit is perpendicular to a dock.

Through-the-wall feed chutes offer convenience to employees that reduces labor cost and improves security.

The Qwik Clean Tank® funnels any liquid see page during compaction into an enclosed area underneath the charge box floor. The liquid is automatically discharged at the disposal site, in effect flushing the container and the area behind the ram.

The innovative "Bubble Gate" adds a cubic yard to the container capacity. Its curved shape also produces superior compaction ratios.

Rear door retains wet waste effectively with its patented "Double-Hinge" and custom designed "P" Seal.
 

 
Optional Features

Qwik Clean Door®

The StreamLine Option

TrashMinder®
The innovative Qwik Clean Door provides access to the area behind the ram of self-contained compactors. It allows for quick, easy cleaning and other routine maintenance without having to unbolt panels or break welds. The Qwik Clean Door features our Auto-Relatch to hold the door closed while the door is being ratcheted and our patented “P” Seal for a tight, leak proof seal. The StreamLine Option allows excess liquid to be drained from the container reducing net payload weight and significantly reducing hauling costs! Liquid is routed to four interconnected 4" drain outlets located at each corner of the StreamLine unit. Connection can be made to a hose, piping, or pump. The optional TrashMinder® is the most advanced method for reporting and measuring container fullness as well as for managing user access and billing.
