Sanitech auger compactors pre-crush and compact in one powerful motion. While processing material, the auger continuously runs in a forward direction, crushing and reducing the size of what it is fed. This enables it to compact up to five times faster than conventional ram style hydraulic compactors.

The Model ST1546/36IN (Industrial) has a longer / stronger auger shaft, heavier gearbox and bearings. It is designed to handle a steady stream of large and bulky materials.
