Europress - Model CombiMax SMARTSolar -Solar-Powered Waste Compactor
The CombiMax SMARTSolar is a versatile solar-powered waste compactor engineered by Europress, combining renewable energy with advanced waste management. Integral to its design are four 300W solar panels installed on the roof, ensuring it draws power efficiently from the sun while offering the flexibility of 1-phase mains power when required. This design allows for uninterrupted operations even during the summer months when no electricity is accessible. On sunlit days, the compactor can function for over 2.5 hours without the need for additional mains charging. Should solar energy be insufficient, backup power from standard mains electricity is available, supporting approximately 20 minutes of operation per hour. Tailored for 20 m³ containers, the compactor can be adjusted to accommodate smaller configurations with fewer solar panels. With a 35-tonne compaction force and 0.93 kW energy consumption per operating hour, it aligns operational efficiency with the Europress SMART Fleet Management system for better resource tracking and fleet management.The Europress CombiMax SMARTSolar waste compactor is powered by solar panels and 1-phase mains power. The robust and efficient CombiMax SMARTSolar gets its power from four 300W solar panels located on its roof.
The device does not require mains power to operate, and it can be used in the summer even where electricity is not available at all. It is as effective as a conventional mains powered device. On a sunny day, it offers more than 2.5 hours of running time without mains charging. When it is not possible to get enough power from the sun, the batteries can be charged with ordinary mains power.
The CombiMax SMARTSolar is intended for 20 m3 containers, but the device can be shortened so that only half the solar panels are installed on the device. In this case, the size category is CombiMax/14-17. Feed hoppers are always tailored according to the intended use.
- Mains charging allows the device to run approx. 1/3 of the time. A device in mains mode can run for approx. 20 minutes an hour if solar energy is not available.
- On a sunny day during the 8 peak hours, the device offers more than 2.5 hours of running time from the sun without mains charging.
- Combined, on a sunny day, the device can run for a total of 8 hours between 06:00 and 22:00 (i.e. 50% of the time), which is perfectly sufficient for use when most required.
