Description

Range and configurations

  • The range covers semi-underground and above-ground bells with a consistent design language, useful for mixed islands or extending the service without new excavation.
  • Internal containment follows the fraction and operator: bag, polyethylene tub or steel liner for source-separated, residual and dedicated streams, including organic collection.
  • Where semi-underground installation is not practical, above-ground bag units remain available, aligned with the recessed campana design.

Capacity, footprint and emptying

  • Volumes run from 800 L to 5,000 L with a compact external footprint (up to about 1,700 mm on the 5 m³ model), an advantage on space-limited islands.
  • Emptying is available for single hook, twin hook and Kinshofer lift systems, in line with vehicles and procedures already in use.

Service control and urban integration

  • On request we integrate access control and fill-level monitoring to plan rounds and manage island access.
  • For urban integration the Traflux line (made in Belgium) adds a safety barrier ≥ 800 mm during emptying, an ergonomic internal lid and finishes in aluminium, composite or coloured covers, with configurable volumes above 3,000 L and Bunder Waste support on accessories and local service integration.

Limited excavation, streetscape closer to full burial

When depth or utilities limit the vault, Traflux PE semi-underground units cut excavation while keeping a tidy island. Share your service and layout for bag, PE or steel inner options.
