Introduction
PIG®Waste Compactor
Waste disposal is one of the most challenging issues industries face today. The average
disposal cost for a 55-gallon drum can range from $200-$700. Further complicating the
disposal picture is the shrinking number of active landfills. As a result, companies are pursuing
innovative ways to reduce their disposal costs.
In 1994, New Pig developed the PIG®Waste Compactor to compact absorbents and other soft
wastes. The Compactor significantly reduces waste to a fraction of its original volume
resulting in dramatically lower disposal costs. The original pump kit captures segregated
liquids for reuse or recycling.
To determine just how much money a PIG®Waste Compactor could save you, we conducted a
research study. Our results found that 100% of users significantly reduced the number of
drums they sent out for disposal. Compaction ratios ranged from a high of 6:1 to a low of 2:1.
New Pig's Product Development Team has designed the following features to insure safe
operation: an improved ram guard completely encloses the top of the drum and drum door
interlocks prevent access during operation. In fact, the PIG®Waste Compactor is approved by
the Canadian Standards Association, an OSHA-recognized testing laboratory.
Use your PIG®
Waste Compactor
to crush:
• Absorbents
• Wipers
• Rags
• Plastic
• Paper
• Cardboard
• Paper filters
• Other soft materials
(not recommended for wood,
metal or other hard materials)

Section I - Electric Compactors
1 Setup Instructions
1) Remove PIG®Waste Compactor from pallet and place on floor.
2) If desired, permanently mount the compactor to the floor using the pre-drilled holes in the
base. Up to 1/2" floor anchors can be used. Floor anchoring not required for operation
(anchors not included).
3) Power source required: 120 Volt AC with 15 amp breaker.
4) Wire unit to terminal block inside closure through hole marked 120 Volt AC 15 amp as
shown in schematic. (Note: wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician)

2 Operating Instructions
Always wear the proper safety equipment when operating this unit.
1) Open safety cover.
2) Tilt unit back with drum in
place to facilitate loading.
3) Return to upright locked position
and close safety cover.
5

4) Move directional lever on electric
pump to the down position and
depress operation button to
compact. Continue to compact until
the pump stops (reaching maximum
pressure).
5) To raise the ram, release button to
stop, move directional lever on
electric pump to the up position and
depress operation button.
Note: Unit will not operate if the unit is not in the upright position or safety cover is not closed.

8 Preventative Maintenance
1) Check hydraulic oil level. Should be approximately 1" from top of filler hole. Use a general purpose
medium weight hydraulic fluid. New Pig Item# DRM673
2) Check for loose nuts, bolts and pins.
3) Check Ram Plate to insure that it is secure to the hydraulic cylinder shaft. Run unit empty to full extension
of the hydraulic cylinder. Allow the unit to build full pressure, this will lock the cylinder in place so that it
can be tightened or removed. Caution - Loosen set screw before attempting to tighten or remove ram plate.
Tighten set screw after adjusting 9 Trouble Shooting Guide
Hydraulic pump runs, but ram will not move.
• Hydraulic fluid is low - Use a medium weight hydraulic fluid and fill to within 1" of the top of filler
hole with the ram in the up position.
• Up and down lever is not fully engaged - Make sure lever is moved completely to the up or down
position.
• Breather cap on the hydraulic pump is closed - Open cap.
Waste pump runs, but will not pump.
• Check hoses for obstructions.
• Check filter screen and clean.
Hydraulic pump will not run.
• Safety cover micro is not fully engaged - Make sure it is fully closed.
• Safety cover micro is out of alignment - Adjust micro so it is fully engaged when cover is in the closed
position.
• Tilt micro is not fully engaged - Make sure the compactor is in the upright position and the locking pins
are fully extended and depressing the micro.
• Tilt micro is out of alignment - Adjust micro so it is fully depressed when compactor is in the upright
position and the locking pins are fully extended.
• Check power supply to the unit.
Loose Ram Plate
• Ram plate is loose - Run the compactor empty to full extension of hydraulic cylinder. Allow unit to
build full pressure, this will lock the cylinder in place so it can be tightened or removed.
CAUTION: Loosen set screw before attempting to tighten or remove ram plate.

Section II - Air Compactors
1 Setup Instructions
1) Remove PIG®Waste Compactor from pallet and place on floor.
2) If desired, permanently mount the compactor to the floor using the pre-drilled holes in the
base. Up to 1/2" floor anchors can be used. Floor anchoring not required for operation
(anchors not included).
3) Remove the yellow plug in the top of the air pump with wrench. Replace with the attached
black vent cap. Do not over tighten the vent cap with wrench.
4) Remove the pipe plug from the air intake pipe located on the back of the unit, attached to
the side of the Rear Pivot (Part # 19 on exploded view).
5) Screw a male air connect chuck into the 3/8" pipe.
6) Attach air chuck and air line (both not included) to male air connect.
7) Ground unit to earth ground with provided grounding wire.
Note: A ground is provided with DRM654 & DRM655.
Note: An in line air filter (included) and oiler (not included) should be used with this unit.
18

2 Operating Instructions
Always wear the proper safety equipment when operating this unit.
1) Open safety cover.
2) Tilt unit back with drum in
place to facilitate loading.
3) Return to upright locked position
and close safety cover.
19

4) Move directional lever on air
hydraulic pump to the down
position and depress operation
button to compact. Continue to
compact until the pump stops
(reaching maximum pressure).
5) To raise the ram, release button to
stop, move directional lever on air
hydraulic pump to the up position
and depress operation button.
Note: Unit will not operate if the unit is not in the upright position or safety cover is not closed.
