GC Glass Collector

The Glass Collector is built around a body manufactured from a special sound-absorbing multilayer sandwich structure.
The body incorporates a dual hydraulically driven auger system that collects and evenly distributes the glass inside the load compartment, reducing bottle breakage and ensuring the highest quality of the collected material for recycling and final processing.
The external surfaces are manufactured from smooth aluminium panels, providing an ideal platform for vehicle branding and communication graphics. The body floor is completely leak-proof, ensuring maximum containment and cleanliness.
The rear loading system is equipped with a split automatic bin lifter, capable of lifting and emptying two containers simultaneously and independently, significantly increasing collection productivity.
High loading speed, large body capacity and exceptionally low noise levels make this dedicated vehicle the ideal solution for glass collection, a waste stream whose specific characteristics and operational challenges require a purpose-designed product.

Key benefits

  • High payload capacity.
  • Excellent glass quality at the point of delivery, with no bottle breakage and no glass pulverization.
  • Exceptionally low noise levels thanks to the use of special sound-absorbing materials, achieving a reduction of at least 3 dB(A), equivalent to halving the perceived noise level.
  • Fully automatic bin emptying cycle.
  • Extremely fast bin lifter operating cycle.
  • Tipping discharge system without an ejection panel, preserving the quality and integrity of the discharged glass.
  • Overload monitoring with automatic cycle stop.
