Step One 

A heavy duty polyethylene bag is placed inside the machine. The bag is in no danger of being pierced or split because before the crushing process begins a metal shield descends into it. This shield protects the bag from damage by either the rotor arm or the waste itself.

Step Two

The KenBay compactor is placed at the source of waste. This could be anywhere on the factory floor or at a processing line. Simply push the RUN button, open the loading door, dump in the waste and leave the compacting to the Clydesdale.

Step Three 

The waste is crushed by the powerful rotor with nearly 600 lbs. of downward pressure and torque on the drum of 4400 lbs. As the rotor rotates about its axis, it also turns in one direction for several revolutions and then reverses itself. This continuous motion achieves maximum compaction.

Step Four

When the bag is filled, an alarm signals the need to remove the bag and replace it with a new bag as shown in Step One.

On average, Clydesdale users achieve a compaction ratio of 6:1, yielding a filled bag (46"x46"x40") weighing, depending on the composition of the waste, somewhere between 500 and 1,000 lbs.

Step Five

The ingenious design and exceptional power of a KenBay Clydesdale can compact the entire contents of a waste dumpster into one polythene bag.

This gives a compacting ratio of anywhere from 6:1 to 10:1 and higher.
