PRODUCT INFORMATION
ABOUT THE COM AX ONE™
The Compax One
™
is a smart waste bin, which automatically reduces waste by up to 15 times its original volume by use of a
unique vacuum technology. The Compax One
™
is mainly intended for compaction of paper towels but is nonetheless capable of
compacting most general waste. The Compax One
™
is equipped with sensors that monitor the waste fullness level and detects
motion. As paper waste is loaded into the Compax One Original Bag
™
, the appliance trigger and initiates a compression cycle
automatically as soon as the waste fullness level exceeds ¾ and the room is cleared.
1
The motion detector is mainly
implemented to ensure the safety of users and other personnel, in addition to availability of the product. Hence, the Compax
One
™
is always ready for accommodating waste.
2
Additional safety is implemented through sensors monitoring resistance and
abrupt movement during opening and closing of the lid. If there is too much resistance, i.e., something is hindering the lid
movement, the operation is aborted and reversed.
OVERALL FUNCTIONALITY
During a compression cycle, an electrically operated lid rotates down and seals off the Compax One Original Bag
™
before the
internal air is evacuated and the content thereby compacted as vacuum is attained. The overall functionality of the Compax
One
™
is here provided through the six stages of a compression cycle.
STAGE 1: OPEN CONFIGURATION
The Compax One
™
is in normal or stand-by mode
with the lid open, ready for accommodation of
waste. The appliance is used in the same way as a
regular waste bin.
STAGE 2: CLOSING CONFIGURATION
In order for the Compax One
™
to initiate a
compression cycle, the waste fullness level must be
triggered. The electrically operated lid then rotates
down to seal the Compax One Original Bag
™
.
STAGE 3: CLOSED CONFIGURATION
To ensure sealing of the waste bag, a gasket is
attached on top of the bag holder device.
When the
lid reaches the closed position, the Compax One
Original Bag
™
is sealed between the gasket and the
lid, and evacuation of the internal air is initiated.
STAGE 4: COMPRESSING CONFIGURATION
When the Compax One Original Bag
™
is sealed, the
air is evacuated from the bag. The shape and design
of the lid ensures a smooth distribution of the
airflow, thus preventing clogging of the system.
Access to the internal electronics is impeded by a
cover closing the accommodation hole during compression.
STAGE 5: OPENING CONFIGURATION
After approximately 70 seconds,
3
when the
waste is thoroughly compressed, vacuum is
released, and the Compax One Original Bag
™
is
no longer sealed. Ambient pressure is let back
into the waste bag, the compressed waste falls
to the bottom of the waste bag, and the lid
rotates back up to the upper position.
STAGE 6: OPEN CONFIGURATION
The Compax One
™
is now back in normal or
stand-by mode with the lid open. Hence, the
Compax One
™
is ready for additional
accommodation of waste.
NOTE:
For the Compax One
™
to function properly and as
intended, the disposable Compax One Original Bag
™
, must
be installed correctly. The waste bag must be at least half
full before proper compaction is noticeable. Otherwise, the
waste bag is susceptible to clog the evacuation slits in the
lid and prevent the remaining air from being evacuated.
Damage may occur if the door is opened during
compression cycle
