Compactors are used to reduce the volume of loose materials such as turnings and shavings, and at the same time extract valuable residual cutting coolants.

When the material is compressed, fluids are squeezed out and collect in a false bottom for recovery and reuse. As an additional benefit, the compacted materials are completely enclosed in a metal box for efficient, spillage-free transportation.
