PRT's Standard Smart Board Packer/Tipper 3 Phase 10 Horse Power Universal Power Unit

Single Phase Compactor Power Units

Single phase hydraulic power units for industrial trash compactors. 230V configurations, 5HP, with 15-foot pendant standard. Designed for apartment style compactors, small commercial stationary units, and any installation without three phase electrical service.

What this page covers

Single phase power units are the right choice when your compactor installation site doesn't have three phase electrical service — which covers most small commercial buildings, strip-mall retail, restaurants, and residential-adjacent applications. The unit runs on standard 230V single phase service.

PRT's single phase power units are 10HP. They drive vertical compactors and small stationary commercial compactors comfortably. For higher-HP installations, three phase service is required.

How to choose

Verify the electrical service at the compactor location before ordering. PRT customer service can recommend the right voltage based on your compactor model and installation site.

Single phase configurations in stock

  • Single phase, 5HP, 10HPFor standard household-style electrical service.
  • 220V single phase, 10HPFor higher-amperage single phase commercial service.
  • 15-foot control pendantStandard on all configurations.
  • OEM-spec mountingBolt patterns matched to Marathon, PTR, Wastequip vertical and small stationary compactors.

Frequently asked questions

Can I run a single phase power unit on three phase service?

Not directly — the motor windings are different. If you have three phase service and want to keep an existing single phase compactor running, you'd need a separate single phase circuit run to the compactor location, or replace the power unit with a three phase version, or VFD power unit.

What compactors typically use single phase power units?

Any compactor installed in a small commercial building without three phase service.

How much current does a 10HP single phase compactor power unit draw?

At 230V, full load amps on the motor is 50 Amps. An 80 amp breaker must be installed to run the unit. Wire size has to be 4 gauge.
