1980's GE Compactall Trash Compactor

This unit has an excellent loading design. Allowing you to remove the bin, carry it anywhere you need it. Excellent for houses with no allowance for a compactor in the kitchen, you could keep the bin under the sink and the compactor in the laundry room or garage. This is a rough video of the unit operating with the door open. STATS: 3000lbs pressure continuous.

Image if you this device could be made into a under water robot. The robot could compress the trash into small cubes. The cubes could be gather and hauled off.

@davepamn Kind of like a "Wall-E" unit under water. Actually a floating unit to pickup the 'global current' garbage patch that floats in the center of the ocean would be a great thought too. I only wish we lived in a world where the human species of the planet didn't crap up the natural world. Until that day, compactors of all shapes and sizes will try to reduce the eye-sore of trash we create.

The compacted items did not reduce space

It sounded like it was working

@davepamn Actually, I filled the bottom with balled up newspaper.. The demo wasn't to show compaction power but to show the overall operation of the removable bin. I can put up a demo of the compaction power if needed. This unit has a 3,000lb total face pressure. I've crushed a toaster oven in it.

Does not seem to compact much to me. There about a 6 in of extra room there? Not worth the money for these things in my opinion.

the robot submerges to the bottom of the ocean, compresses the trash into a cube, connects an inflatable ballon to the cube, injects air, and the trash rises to the surface where it is collected and burned.

@compactorkid Oh wow that is impressive. I would like to see that.
