Journey of Kiggen Compactor

Arising from our origins within a long-standing partnership with the KIGGEN Waste Compaction brand, PDE is proud to offer the benefit of more than 70 years of
product research and development.

Over this time, PDE has grown into an innovative and influential provider of waste-handling equipment, meeting the evolving challenges of manufacturing and
supplying high-performance compactors across the UK.

A key focus in today’s market is the technology, efficiency and appearance of mobile compactors. The images attached demonstrate how our PD731 compactors have
evolved over the last 30 years. These improvements have been driven by listening closely to our customers, complying with the latest Health & Safety standards, and
integrating the most advanced technology to minimise operational disruption.

The pictures show this journey from back in the 90’s to the current day.

Old generation:

The MKM machine, equipped with a conventional power unit and vertical beams, was supplied up until the late 1990s.

Mid generation:

The following 15 years introduced a sleeker design with a single horizontal beam, known as the PD range. This period also saw the launch of Smartpack Version 1,
incorporating basic programming functions and alert systems.

Latest generation:

Our newest mobile compactor offers a fully smooth exterior—perfect for customised company branding. It features the latest Health & Safety enhancements, including
side guards and advanced IFM controllers. These upgrades allow for far greater programming flexibility and real-time alerts, improving usability for customers, engineers and waste contractors alike.

If you’re considering new waste equipment or looking to upgrade your waste- management systems—whether through rental or purchase—our team is ready to
help. We offer a comprehensive range of leakproof compactors designed to suit varying waste volumes, operational requirements and budgets.
