TONNA garbage baler 240L – 2 tons pressing force

TONNA 240L bin press

TONNA 240L is a bin press and wheelie bin compactor for 240-litre waste bins: the bin stands on the platform, and a hydraulic pressing plate compacts the waste inside it, so the bin holds far more before it is emptied.

It presses with up to 2 tonnes; one cycle takes 20 seconds.

The TONNA 240L bin press is designed for use in environments where waste is collected in standard 240-litre bins, such as cafeterias, hotels, supermarkets, schools, offices, warehouses, and small production sites. It fits into waste management routines where bins are filled throughout the day and emptied by staff or waste contractors. It is suitable for locations with limited floor space and where frequent bin emptying is a concern.

Operation is straightforward: the operator places the bin on the platform with the lid facing outwards and sets the arms to hold the bin securely. The simple controls consist of a green ON button and a lever, which is held down to press and up to raise the plate. Before each use, the operator checks that the bin is undamaged and that only permitted materials are present. During pressing, the operator keeps hands clear of moving parts, watches for unusual noise or movement and wears suitable gloves and footwear. Daily, the operator looks for wear and oil leaks and keeps the press clean.

It runs on single-phase 230 V with a 1.5 kW motor and a 16 A supply, and works at 72 dB.

The press is 780 × 780 mm and 2360 mm high and weighs 235 kg. It takes cardboard, paper, plastic, foam, soft materials and food waste.

Operator tasks and typical checks: TONNA 240L bin press

Before each use, the operator should check that the bin is undamaged and that no prohibited materials are present. The arms must be set to hold the bin securely. During pressing, the operator must keep hands clear of moving parts and watch for any unusual noise or movement.

It is important to follow the operator manual for safe use and to wear suitable gloves and footwear. The press should be cleaned regularly to prevent waste build-up around the platform and moving parts.

How it is used

1. Place the bin on the platform with the lid facing outwards.
2. Set the arms to the width of the bin.
3. Hold the green ON button and the lever down: the pressing plate compresses the waste until it stops.
4. Hold ON and the lever up to raise the plate again.
5. Fill and press again until the bin is full; if the machine does not start, press OFF to reset it.

Site and maintenance

• Where it stands. Best indoors or under cover, on a solid level floor, with ventilation and good light; set the four feet so it does not rock.
• Electrics. 220–230 V single phase, 16 A, isolator within 2 m; outdoors a waterproof IP65 plug with a 30 mA RCD, fitted by an electrician.
• Daily. Look for wear and oil leaks and keep the press clean.
• Monthly. Check the oil level, the bolts, the guards, the cables and the hydraulic hoses.
• Yearly. A full service with an oil change: 14 l of Mobil DTE24 or equivalent.
• Safety. Never use it with damaged cables or hoses, leaks or loose parts; nobody under the pressing plate.

Choosing and installing the TONNA 240L bin press

Check that the electrical supply matches the requirements and that installation is possible near a suitable socket or isolator. Plan for safe access for staff and for moving bins in and out. Avoid placing the press in areas exposed to rain or extreme temperatures unless adequate shelter is provided.
