Product Details
The hydraulic drum crusher/compactor is designed to crush steel drums and features an automatic reset for continuous operation with any drum size up to fifty-five (55) gallons, while the compacting feature specifically accommodates fifty-five (55) gallon drums by allowing the contents inside to be compacted when the drum crushing platen is removed. Key attributes include a crushing force of 38,000 lbs., enabling the flattening of 55-gallon drums to a height of just 6 inches within 30 seconds, and a full cycle time (crush and retract) of 25 seconds. The motor operates at 6.5 horsepower with a voltage of 208, three-phase, and 60 hertz. The usable chamber dimensions are 25 inches in length, 25 inches in width, and 35-3/4 inches in height, while the compacting platen has a diameter of 21 inches. The unit's safety features consist of a pressure relief valve for overload protection and a door interlock system to ensure the motor does not run unless the door is securely closed. The design includes built-in fork pockets for transportation and a drip pan that measures 31-1/2 inches in width, 4-1/2 inches in length, and 1-5/8 inches in height with a capacity of 1 gallon, effectively reducing oil spills; additional drip pans are also available. The equipment is manufactured to comply with OSHA and JIC standards and specifications, with unlimited crushing and compacting drum capacity per week.
