The International Dynetics Model 4500 is a vertical compactor which uses much less floor space than its horizontal counterparts. It is primarily intended for hand feeding from the front. Completely self-contained and aesthetically pleasing, it may be installed anywhere by simply plugging in its electrical power cord.

Despite its compact size, the unit has sufficient power to produce compaction ratios as high as 10 to 1 to fill a 6.84 cu. ft. trash bag with 50-200 lbs. of compacted trash. Ram stroke and hydraulic pressure are both adjustable to control size and weight of compacted package. Compaction is initiated by depressing a pushbutton conveniently located on the front of the machine. After completion of the cycle, the ram will return to its full up position and stop.

When the filled bag has been compacted to the desired pressure, the unit will shut down and turn on a signal light to indicate the full bag condition. A positively latched loading door with electrical interlock prevents operation when door is open. The electrical system includes a 1 HP, 115/230 volt, single phase internally protected drip-proof motor, with 115 volt control circuit.
