[ Specifications | Literature | Steel & Operational Options ]
The RamJet RJ-450 is excellent for distribution centers, warehouses, and general industrial use. The extra large 60" x 67 1/2" clear top opening accepts those large, bulky items with ease. Ruggedly built to meet the challenge, this unit packs a powerful 56,500 pounds of crushing force. And, the RJ-450 is built for performance and reliability as only Marathon, the solid waste industry's specialist in on-site compaction systems, can provide.
Industrial Grade Systems
The RJ-450 features industrial grade electrical and hydraulic systems that are totally UL Listed! This means trouble free operation and top performance year after year. Marathon's side-mounted power unit combines the convenience and ease-of-maintenance that comes with a remote power pack with the space savings and ease-of-installation of an integrated power pack.
Ram Guide System:
The packing ram is supported by specially formulated cast iron shoes which ride on replaceable wear strips. This exclusive design protects the charge box floor from the full force of the packing ram, extending its life and dramatically reducing compaction-robbing friction.
Side-Mount Power Unit
- Side-Mounted Power Unit for ease-of-maintenance – eliminates the need to go inside the compactor body for servicing.
- Limit Switch and all other parts of the power unit are easily accessible for ease-of-maintenance.
- Reset Button for the Motor Starter is also located on the outside, which eliminates entry into the control box
Advanced Control System:
The RJ-450 features a Control Station with advanced, simplified 2-button control system. It is key-operated, fully automatic and contained in a weatherproof NEMA 4 enclosure. Connected to the power pack with 13’ of sealtite, the controls can be located for operator convenience.
