Hydraulic power units for trash compactors & balers
Hydraulic trash compactors, vertical presses and balers: constant hydraulic power for intensive compaction cycles.
Gazzera builds hydraulic power packs and power units for trash compactors, presses and balers: stable compaction pressure, motors sized on the real duty cycle and 100% testing of every unit. For 36 years we have supplied OEM builders of waste-handling machinery across Europe.
Industry needs — and our answers
Constant compaction force
Bale quality and cycle safety depend on repeatable pressure: relief valves set and verified at testing on every unit.
Heavy intermittent duty
Compactors work in bursts: S3-duty motors and pumps chosen on the actual cycle avoid overheating without wasteful oversizing.
Harsh environments
Dust, moisture and leachate: protection classes, surface treatments and steel reservoirs designed for recycling yards and back-of-store installs.
Mains or battery
Stationary 230/400V AC compactors and 12/24V DC on-vehicle units: both architectures, from the same component platform.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What hydraulic power unit does a trash compactor need?
It depends on ram force and cycle time: required pressure sets the relief setting, speed sets pump flow. With those two inputs we configure motor, pump and reservoir on the actual duty cycle — our configurator in /tools/ gives an instant first answer.
Do you supply small batches and prototypes for balers?
Yes: we start from a single prototype and scale to series production with the same BOM and full ISO 9001 traceability.
