With a TARPOMATIC Automatic Tarping Machine, covering a landfill is easy.

Employ the benefits of a Tarpomatic, Automatic Tarping Machine and start deploying and retrieving tarps in the most hassle-free manner. Each spool can carry up to 3 tarps and each tarp covers an area of 234 sq metres, therefore 3 tarps will cover over 700 sq metres and this process will take 12 minutes.

Covering a landfill with the conventional method will take 3 men, 3 hours using 3 pieces of equipment to perform the same outcome.

In a landfill situation, airspace is regarded as the most valuable as well as non-renewable asset. In times of economic insecurity, where with every passing day, landfill space is becoming scarce; it is now paramount to use the airspace judiciously. Considering the fact, landfill operators have been introducing feasible changes in landfill management practices for improving efficiencies. Deploying and retrieving tarpaulins by using specialised equipment, the Tarpomatic ATM is amongst the world’s best Alternate Daily Cover Systems.

Tarps or tarpaulin’s are made from high-strength polyethylene fabric that contains flame retardant, anti-bacterial and UV protective coatings. These tarps are placed over the active working cell on the tip face for covering all waste delivered on a particular day. These alternate daily covers are installed at end of the day’s operation and recovered the very next day before starting the process again. This practice saves valuable airspace that can be sold at a later date. Some time back, the tarpaulins were placed manually. However, more recently, the same task is done with the help of Tarpomatic’s, Automatic Tarping Machine (ATM).

More about ATM

Polyethylene fabric panels are attached to the ATM, which deploy and retrieve tarps quickly and easily. These machines are custom-fitted to the blade of the dozer or compactor being used, thereby making the task of removing and attaching easy and effortlessly. The Tarpomatic ATM is equipped with a hydraulic drive motor as well as engaging system that perform the task of unwinding and rewinding the tarp spools with different speed control. All these functions are performed within the Cab of the Dozer or Compactor via a wireless remote. This eliminates the need for workers to come into direct contact with any hazardous materials.

There are many advantages for using a Tarpomatic ATM and some of these are listed below:

• With the help of a Tarpomatic machine, landfills are covered in a fuel-efficient, eco-friendly manner.
• Automatic deployment and retrieval of tarpaulins saves countless hours of labour as only one person is required to operate the Tarpomatic ATM.
• It will consume less fuel and increase equipment life, therefore helps increase the company’s revenue.
• The safety of employees increases greatly as they do not come in direct contact with the waste.
• The task of manually dragging the Tarps over the waste is not only time consuming, but also deteriorates the quality and life of the tarps. So, when the tarps are rolled and unrolled with Tarpomatic ATM, the life of tarps increases dramatically.
