H&G screw compactors:
Next generation waste management technology
Efficient, compact, and durable: H&G screw compactors handle every waste disposal task. Due to the electromechanical direct drive, they operate with low maintenance and high reliability.
The specially developed, separately driven feed devices ensure smooth throughput with high throughput rates, even with challenging waste fractions.

Screw compactors produced to perfection:
Compact and highly efficient
For decades, our screw compactors have been the central and most successful H&G product. More than 8,000 screw compactors installed worldwide speak volumes about our expertise at H&G and have made us the technology and market leaders in this segment. Compact and highly efficient, our Screw Compactors can achieve almost twice the filling weights of conventional hydraulic presses by powerfully compacting large volumes of waste and recyclables. This is how the rising tide of waste and recyclable materials generated by trade and logistics can be controlled. The economic efficiency of disposal processes in commerce and industry can be increased, releasing vast savings potential.

H&G FEEDER DEVICES
BIN LIFTER
Lift-tip devices are used in production and commercial operations where recyclables and waste are centrally collected for subsequent compaction. In mobile or stationary versions, the lift-tip devices can be used for standard DIN containers, or with appropriate adjustments, also for special containers.
CONVEYOR BELT
Optimise the materials flow in your disposal logistics. Conveyor belts have really proved their worth in many areas of application. We supply conveyor systems that can be linked to our waste disposal equipment or we can integrate your systems into our plant technology.
DRIVERLESS TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
Driverless transport systems automate in-house waste logistics by transporting waste inside the company without the need for any actual manpower. In cooperation with the Dutch enterprise AGVR, H&G has developed a fully automated transport system for your waste or recyclable fractions.
You are already using driverless transport systems? They can also be easily combined with our waste disposal control technology.
H&G CUSTOMISATION
SMART CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
Following the Industry 4.0 trend in waste disposal technology, H&G now supplies innovative Smart controls for Screw Compactors to enable remote diagnostics and the adjustment of various parameters for process optimisation and increased efficiency. Automatic “80% Full” and “Container Full” messages by e-mail make sure you always have disposal logistics under control.
DATA BASE
Our online platform the visualisation and processing of the data transmitted to the portal by Smart Control. User-based invoices can be made quickly and reliably, based on the access and weighing data transmitted.
WEIGHING SYSTEMS
The H&G access and weighing systems are the ultimate solution for user-orientated waste collection and legally valid billing of your waste disposal. Waste compactors and tipping devices can be provided with H&G weighing systems and access controls.
The H&G screw compactor is used in situations with high waste volumes and limited space, making it the efficient disposal solution for industrial applications. You can view the exact disposal cycle of the H&G screw compactor with cardboard pre-shredder (KVZ) here:
