The initial situation

At Frankfurt Airport, specific solid and liquid residues from aircraft accumulate in the passenger and animal transport areas, placing particularly high demands on hygiene, safety and disposal.

These include, amongst other things, faecal matter as well as residues from sieves and gratings, which must be reliably collected, compacted and then properly removed.

The challenge

The variety of residues places high demands on the technology used. Both liquid and solid components must be processed equally safely, without causing contamination or leaks.

At the same time, given the ongoing airport operations, a solution is required that is easy to operate, allows for high loading weights and operates reliably even under demanding operating conditions.

The solution

The BioCubePress MP 1.4 from PÖTTINGER is in use at Frankfurt Airport.

The integrated lifting and tipping mechanism allows waste residues to be conveniently loaded into the compactor container and then compacted directly on site. The liquid-tight design ensures that even challenging solid and liquid residues can be collected hygienically and safely.

The tried-and-tested operating principle enables easy handling and high compaction performance. With fill weights of up to 8.5 tonnes per emptying, the available transport volume is utilised efficiently.

Meinhardt Städtereinigung GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for the disposal of the compacted material, thereby ensuring smooth and professional removal.
