F15-HE Design Features

A High Efficiency, Super Duty Transfer Compactor Designed Especially for Modern Transfer Stations. The F15HE Has Many Unique Features to Greatly Improve Efficiency, Productivity and Eliminate Costly Maintenance.

High Productivity and Performance: Large hopper volume, very fast cycle time, and extra long cylinder stroke allow a clean transfer of material deep into the trailer for best productivity and efficiency. Loading time for a 120-yard compaction trailer (with loads up to 40 tons) can be completed in 15 to 20 minutes.

100% Duty Cycle: Designed to run 24 hours a day with no particular attention required.

Ram Penetration: The ram penetration improves the transfer of material deep into the trailers and improves weight distribution and eliminates time lost for clean up (resulting from fall out when disconnecting the trailer).

Practically Maintenance Free Compaction System: Only monthly lubrication of the latching system and periodic inspection and cleaning is necessary.

This machine does not require replacement parts that may be expected to wear over time such as friction guide pads etc. . These components have been eliminated by design and or replaced with long life quality components.

High Strength Construction: The compactor structure is designed to withstand continuous compaction forces up to 196,000 pounds force.

Enhanced Durability: Anti-wear packer ram rider bars, heavy wall charge box, and packer blade construction offer enhanced durability.

Designed to Last: On the job experienced has confirmed that the Fanotech Transfer Compactor will perform well and require little or no attention for the first 15-20 years of operation.

Operationally the Machine Practically Runs Itself: The operator only needs to push the start button and the machine will do the rest including sensing a blockage and switching to short stroke mode and sensing when trailer is full and switching to pack out mode and shutting down when pack out is complete.

The computerized control parameters can be programmed to suit the operation even the weather conditions.

Charge Box: Completely fabricated from Hardox AR450 steel. No need for liners that need to be replace 2-3 times over the life of the machine.

Sides: 1” AR450 Hardox.

Floor Frame: Structural tube and channels.

Floor: 1” AR450 Hardox.

Anti-Wear: Five, ½” x 8” Wearmax® Chromium-Carbide wear strips full length of floor.

Ram: Face, Sides, 1” AR450 Hardox.

Top & Bottom: The ram face is curved and sloped 5º.

The curved face increases effective area, minimizes stress and friction on trailer sidewalls for better material transfer.

The sloped face reduces frictional forces on trailer floors and promotes compaction in upper trailer space.

Anti-Wear:

Five, ½” x 8” Wearmax® Chromium- Carbide wear strips full length of ram bottom which ride directly on the Wearmax® wear plates on the charge box floor. Four, 7/8” x 8” AR450 Hardox auxiliary wear plates between each Wearmax® strip to prevent material build up and to eliminate flow through of laminated materials.

There are no wear pads that need constant attention, adjustment and replacement.

Compactor Guide System:

Two, guide rollers are mounted at the tail end of the ram assembly. The guide assembly is an inverted angle on which the grooved roller rides.

This guide system maintains extreme accurate control of the lateral and vertical ram movement, and keep the ram in an exact rolling plane at all times. This perfect alignment reduces hopper floor wear and eliminates side wall wear caused by lateral misalignment.

The full adjustability of the guide rollers and take up shoes ensure perfect ram alignment and frictionless movement under all load conditions.

Guide Rollers:

The two guide rollers are 9” dia. V-grooved hardened rollers, equipped with tapered roller bearings with a combined static load rating of 100,000 LBF and a dynamic load rating of 150,000 LBF. They are completely sealed with lifetime lubrication, “maintenance free”.

Material Deflector:

The raised ram side plates combined with the inverted top guide prevents material from entering the space between the ram and the side walls, significantly increasing the box assembly life and preventing jam ups

Loading Hopper:

Made to customer specification usually of ½” 50W plate with 4”x 4” structural tube and 3” channel reinforcement.

Scraper Bar: Self adjusting scraper bar fabricated from 1½” Hardox AR450 steel, prevents material from getting under packer blade.

Rides freely on top of ram, resulting in zero clearance and very efficient ram clean up. Floating design remains in contact with ram at all times without the need for periodic adjustments

Trailer Latch Assembly: “Side Latch”

Full hydraulic operation with separate 5 HP power pack.

The equalizing feature automatically distributes the force equally to each latch hook, regardless of the trailer position. Trailer force is automatically equalized on each side. Trailer pocket damage is reduced by 50%.

The take up feature allows proper latching of trailers, reducing spillage and improving ram penetration.

Fast, safe connect and disconnect of trailer.

Optional Centre Latch Configuration is also Available

Fail-safe over-centre lock. Stationary or hydraulic retractable mounting available.
