How the Cruncher bag compactor works

Loading mode: The operator fills the compactorwith empty bags by simply stuffing them through the inlet opening. Compacting mode: To initialize the compactingmode, the operator must press and release the RUN button on the control enclosure. The compactor ram extends downward compacting the bags in the bag housing and then retracts to the loading position. If the bag inlet swing door or bag unloading door openduring compacting, interlock safety switches willstop compaction immediately and lock the ram at its current position. When both doors are closed, the compactor ram will return to the loading position.
