Designed for high-traffic facilities like hospitals and hotels, our linen chutes feature 24-inch standard diameters with customization options. Side-hinged, self-closing doors prevent debris buildup, and reinforced discharge hoppers ensure durability. Integrated fire safety measures and optional access controls provide secure, code-compliant linen disposal solutions.

Our compactors reduce waste hauling costs through efficient volume reduction. Available models include container and extruder systems with capacities ranging from 33 to 50 cubic yards. Customizable dimensions and integration options allow seamless installation in various building layouts, optimizing space utilization and operational efficiency.
