DRC II Dual-Recycling Self-Contained Trash Compactor

The DRC II can be fitted with a variety of optional equipment such as through-the-wall security chutes and lockable doghouse hoppers. The DRC II is well-suited for ground, doghouse, dock, or chute feed applications.

Unlimited Compaction combinations with the DRC II:

• Garbage and corrugated
• Corrugated and high-grade paper
• Paper and aluminum cans
• Garbage and co-mingled recyclables

Features & Benefits

• Two separate compartments segregate waste and recyclables, which increases your return on the sales of recycled products
• Separate, compact, and able to process two different materials, such as recyclables and garbage, at the same time in an area where space permits only one compactor
• Both recyclables and garbage are neatly contained after compaction, providing your building, facility, mall, or store with a neat and attractive appearance

Marathon^® Flex-D-Vider^®

Creates Two Variable Capacity Compartments

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 barrier wall prevents liquid from 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 the Marathon Flex-D-Vider, 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 enables the operator to move the Marathon 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% or as much as 70% of the unit’s total volume. The DRC II can also be chute-fed to increase customer security and reduce labor costs.

Four Individual Doors for Controlled Discharge of Compacted Material

Due to the many variable positions in which the Marathon Flex-D-Vider can be located, four individual doors are used for the discharge of materials.

• Upper doors are top-hinged and have ratchet locks that enable 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 the standard ratchet latch and opens independently for controlled discharge of compacted material.

P-Seal Watertight Closure

• For wet-waste applications, an optional door gasket is available with the custom-designed Marathon P-shaped door seal, developed for self-contained compactors used for wet waste. Either or both sides may be gasketed

Qwik Clean^® Tank

The 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.

CYCON Life-Xtender^™ Cyclic Control System

Standard on all DRC Compactors

• Reliable, solid-state circuitry eliminates all pressure and limit switches
• The CYCON Life-Xtender no-shock cycle control extends cylinder and hose wear life
• Automatic “container full assurance system” means the ram remains against the load at full pressure, resulting in better compaction
• Smoother running, quieter operation
• Advanced hydraulic design enables the system to operate at minimum pressure levels until the need for more pressure is automatically sensed
• More accurate advanced warning or container-full options
• Dramatically improved cold-weather performance
