Bergmann Electric Static Roll Packer

Frequently asked questions

Can an Electric Static Roll Packer effectively crush heavy wooden pallets and shipping crates?

Yes. Wooden pallets, packing cases, and timber offcuts are ideal waste streams for the Bergmann static roll packer. The 1.8 tonne drum features heavy duty steel teeth that aggressively bite into timber. The drum will also compact caravans, furniture and cable drums.

How does a Electric Static Roll Packer handle high volume commercial cardboard and plastic packaging?

While cardboard and plastic don't "shatter" like wood, they possess significant material memory and springiness that fills skips with air. The massive weight of the Roll Packer drum continually kneads and flattens these materials, compressing them into tightly packed layers.

What safety features are integrated into the Electric Static Roll Packer for busy commercial yards?

A safety cage around 3 sides of the machine. Safety levers and precise guide plates, creating a mandatory interlock system that mechanically prevents the machine from starting unless the container is perfectly aligned and into position. Once a cycle begins, an automated preset cycle length restricts the drum's travel distance to ensure it never collides with or damages the container walls.

Are there other drum types?

Bergmann provides three specialized 1.8-tonne drum configurations to match specific material profiles. Standard Spiked Drum: Best for timber pallets, crates, and general industrial waste. The steel teeth fracture and shatter rigid materials to eliminate air pockets. "Batman" Spiked Drum: Features bat shaped teeth for maximum grip and tear. Engineered for bulky, awkward items like caravans, mobile homes, and commercial furniture. Flat Drum: A smooth, toothless drum designed purely for high pressure compaction of loose packaging or uniform materials. Self-Cleaning Option: Drums can be fitted with a drum cleaning device. This integrated scraper continuously removes debris from the drum during operation, ensuring maximum crushing depth on every pass.

What features are included as standard?

All of our Roll Packers have a 3.1m height extension to service all UK containers, a 7 point lubricaton system helps service the key joints on the arm and drum. Upon completion of the cycle, the drum automatically returns to a default position tucked in, safely clearing the workspace so operators can continuously load new material without any risk of waste striking the arm or drum. 

There are also a variety of features that can be added such as a variety of drum heads, drum cleaning device, remote controls, operational lights, a fully automatic lubrication system and many more.
