UWS has already been successfully installed in

several European countries. The large number of

projects that have been realised so far serves as

a basis for a mature product that provides the

greatest possible safety to meet your requirements.

The Otto system represents the fourth generation

of underground waste containers and so reflects

the outcome of years of experience.

A S S E M B LY

Prefabricated industrial construction parts and

precise assembly instructions allow for a process-

optimised installation.

U S A G E

The Otto system can be used for all standard kinds

of refuse:

• Paper

• Glass or PET bottles

• Organic waste

• Domestic waste

• Textiles

• Plastics and others

Function & Details

All the standard hoisting systems available on the market can

be supplied.

Lifting, emptying and locking are controlled via a central,

integrated mechanism

operation

Centring system for safe positioning

The self-closing drum of the receptacle module provides ideal

accident protection. The adaptable drum size makes the system

suitable for accepting different sack volumes. The ergonomic

design of the housing facilitates placing items in the drum.

The modular concept with its segregation into usage area and

mechanical area simplifies installation and service. The mainte-

nance flap in the lower front section allows for easy access

to the input chute. It takes just a few manual operations to

make the mechanical module accessible as well.

The extensive range of metal or plastic receptacles

for installing on the ground or suspending on

posts for community areas is ideal for combining
