The recent modernization of the Pia waste disposal center includes the installation of new equipment designed to improve on-site waste management. Beyond the visible improvements for users, this upgrade also relies on technical solutions to optimize waste stream processing and the overall operation of the facility.
Pia waste disposal site: facilities at the heart of modernization
In this context, several compaction devices have been deployed to enable optimized waste management and facilitate its treatment:
- 2 Paktor I3 2000 stationary waste compactors : This patented equipment offers maximum compaction power thanks to its in-line hydraulic cylinders and allows for better performance than conventional cross-cylinder compactors, while reducing the risk of blockage.
- 1 ORK MK3 monobloc compactor : With a storage capacity of 30 m³, this compactor is capable of handling all types of waste. With a compaction force of 56 tonnes and a 4 m³ bucket, it improves productivity, reduces logistics costs, and allows for the absorption of bulky waste without rapid wear.
This equipment helps to optimize the organization of waste collection centers by reducing the volume of waste collected. It thus allows for more efficient management of waste streams, particularly for the bulkiest fractions.
Improved logistics on a daily basis
Waste compaction directly contributes to the site's operational efficiency by enabling:
- to optimize the filling of the skips
- to limit transport operations
- to streamline operations for the teams on site
These improvements have a real impact, both on the working conditions of the agents and on the costs associated with waste disposal.
By reducing the number of trips required for waste transport, this equipment also contributes to lower emissions related to the activity. It thus forms part of a broader approach to environmental optimization, consistent with current local authority waste management objectives.
