Refuse collection vehicle with compactor
Home/Sectors/Ecology and environment

ecology and environment sector

Compactors, shredding and mixing units, vehicles and equipment for waste collection and treatment: machines that work with high loads, in dirty environments and close to people.

The work in this sector

Environmental machines work with heterogeneous materials and loads that are hard to predict, often outdoors and with operators a few steps away from the moving parts. Robustness, maintainability and safety count as much as performance.

The studio has designed vehicles and equipment for the environmental sector to order: compactors, shredding and mixing units, linkages and hydraulic circuits, through to the documentation for CE marking.

What we design

CompactorsCompaction chambers, blades and linkages, with the forces involved and the verification of the welded structures.
Shredding and mixingRotating units, shafts, bearings and drives sized on peak loads and on fatigue.
Collection vehicles and equipmentEquipment mounted on a chassis, container lifting devices and attachments to the vehicle.
Hydraulic circuitsCylinders, pumps, valves and diagrams, with the buckling check of the cylinders and of the pressures.
Machine safetyHazard zones, guards, interlocks and controls, in accordance with the type C standards of the sector.
DocumentationDrawings, bills of materials, operating and maintenance manual and technical file for CE marking.

Reference standards

Before designing, the regulatory scope is defined: which standards apply, in which version and with which customer requirements.

Directive 2006/42/ECEssential safety requirements for machinery; from 20 January 2027, Regulation (EU) 2023/1230.
EN 1501-1 … -5Refuse collection vehicles and their lifting devices: safety requirements.
EN 16252Machines for compacting waste or recyclable fractions: horizontal baling presses.
EN 16500Machines for compacting waste or recyclable fractions: vertical baling presses.
EN ISO 4413Hydraulic fluid power systems: general rules and safety requirements.
EN ISO 12100 / 13849-1Risk assessment and performance level of the safety functions.
EN 1993-1-9Fatigue verification of welded structures, decisive for machines that work in cycles.
EN 60204-1Electrical equipment of machines, for the interfaces with the control cabinet.
Versions in force

Standards are revised fairly often: the first activity in every project is to check which edition applies at the date of the design.

How we work

  1. Material and processType of waste, throughput, density, cycles and ambient working conditions.
  2. ConceptLinkage, forces and overall dimensions, with a comparison of the possible solutions.
  3. Design and verifications3D model, structural and fatigue calculations, hydraulic circuit and selection of components.
  4. SafetyRisk assessment and measures according to the applicable type C standards.
  5. DocumentationDrawings, bill of materials, manual and technical file for CE marking.

FAQ

Can you verify a compactor that is already in production?

Yes: we start from the drawings or the 3D model, verify structures and linkage with the real loads and indicate the modifications, if any are needed.

Do you also handle the hydraulics?

Yes, from the diagram to the sizing of cylinders, pump and valves, through to the buckling check of the cylinders.

Is CE marking required for equipment mounted on a truck?

Usually yes: the equipment is a machine even when it is installed on a vehicle. The exact scope is defined at the start with the risk assessment.
