Trash compactors
A recent innovation, the trash compactor dramatically reduces the
volume of household waste. And it is generally trouble-free. Learn
here how it works and what to do in case you encounter a problem.
TO GET AN IDEA of just how much trash, including
bottles, cans, cartons and paper, a trash compactor can compact,
visualize two over-flowing 20-gallon garbage cans holding, say,
40 pounds. The trash compactor can take this junk and reduce its
volume (not its weight) into a neat package of approximately 9 inches
by 16 inches by 17 inches. This package, which in most cases is
also deodorized, is then placed but for the trash collector.
Electrically, a trash compactor requires no more than any other
major appliance. A grounded 120-volt electrical supply is needed
that conforms to local electrical codes. The unit should be plugged
into its own 15-ampere circuit. Most units are designed to slip
beneath standard kitchen countertops. Or, if you wish, you can leave
the compactor free-standing. The unit must be level, however. This
is accomplished by turning leveling legs screwed into the base of
the compactor until the bubble of a carpenter's level zeroes itself,
telling you that the compactor is straight. How a trash compactor
is operated
THE TYPICAL TRASH COMPACTOR has two controls. One is a start switch.
The other is a safety switch. In some models, the safety switch
is actually a key-operated lock. If there are small children in
the house, this permits you to turn the machine off by locking it
with a key. After all, you don't want Junior "compacting"
the family cat. Some trash compactors incorporate a "stop"
feature with the start control. The start and stop switches are
combined into rocker-type switches, allowing you to flip easily
from one to the other. The "stop" side of the switch,
when engaged, opens up a contact in the feed line of the motor to
stop the ramming cycle immediately and at any point.
Why would this be necessary? Suppose your phone rings. A trash compactor
does make some noise. Whatever, you can stop the ramming at any
time you wish. After the "stop" side of the switch has
been depressed, depressing the switch to "start" does
not automatically allow the ram to continue on its cycle to compact
garbage. Instead, the ram returns to its retracted position so that
full force can be applied. If you now want to compact the garbage,
you must once more depress the "start" switch. When the
trash compactor is turned on, it automatically goes through one
cycle only. A ram moves down on the trash with a force equal to
approximately 2,000 pounds of pressure. At this point, when compression
can no longer be done, the motor "stalls" and the ram
reverses itself, returning to its original "retracted"
position
