Haas Automation Inc. is one of the largest CNC machine builder tools in the U.S., and the largest machine tool builder. Their CNC machines are often used for training in educational environments like schools and universities. Operating out of a 1.1 million square-foot campus in Southern California, they needed a more efficient operation for their waste management demands.

Haas partnered with Epax Systems, a Sanitech dealer, for a custom-built stationary auger compactor designed to handle a wide range of materials. They chose our ST4060/40 stationary compactor, which offers adjustable compaction density and run times, a liquid-tight auger chamber, and a replaceable cast auger end wear plate. Haas saw a return on investment after only 6 months! 

An Efficient, More Sustainable Solution for Large-Scale Manufacturing

Our Sanitech auger compactors offer a cleaner, sustainable alternative to most waste management systems. By eliminating hydraulic fluids and the risk of leaks, the system remains safe and sanitary while efficiently compacting waste. The rotating auger bit allows for continuous feeding, which leads to higher compaction ratios and reduced haul frequency. Our bins also fit up to 50% more material than hydraulic ram compactors, compacting waste quickly, safely, and sustainably. 

This installation demonstrates how customized auger compactors can help large-scale manufacturers reduce waste and downtime, while opting for a more environmentally-friendly waste management solution.
