Single Drum Crusher Reduce The Volume Of The Drums

The bulk of a standard 55 gallon oil drum means that very few can be carried in a truck for disposal off site, so by using a single drum crusher or compactor it is possible to reduce the volume of the drums by a massive amount, and allow for more to be stored on a truck and disposed of or 55 gallon drum crushers as appropriate.

The specifications of the HDC-900-IDC 55 gallon drum crusher make for impressive reading. The drum crushers unit uses a standard power supply to generate an impressive 38,000lb crushing force, enough to completely flatten regular metal drums in a matter of seconds. The unit has been designed with efficiency in mind, and one of its most innovative features is the built in piercer, which ensures that the drum vents properly, and prevents the occasional explosion from damaging the machine.

Although 55 gallon drum crusher one of the most versatile and useful storage mediums that are available for the industrial environment, there comes a time when they reach the end of their useful life. Their size and bulk actually becomes a major disadvantage when it comes to disposal, and it is necessary to make them smaller in order to process them for recycling or disposal depending on what their contents were. A specially designed single drum crusher is an extremely useful and cost saving piece of equipment that will soon pay for itself in terms of reducing the cost of material disposal through a third party company.

With the enormous power offered by this system, safety needs to be a paramount concern for operators, and there are a number of areas in which the drum crusher will protect staff Firstly, the unit will not operate with the door open. Secondly, there is an emergency cut off switch that immediately stops the piston from crushing a drum in an emergency. This means that in an emergency, such as when an item that should not be crushed finds its way into the drum crushers, the operator can take emergency action. The locking door means that once the crusher has started in operation nothing can be pushed into the unit and put at risk.
