DRUM CRUSHER / DRUM COMPACTOR
Efficient Drum Crusher - Save Disposal Cost, Reduce 90% Storage SpaceAlso known as a drum compactor or barrel compactor, this machine can simplify your operations by compressing barrels or drums in a single stroke. The machine can compress drums up to 220 liter (58 gallon). There is no tying or wrapping involved, ultimately saving you time and money. The operator simply places the drum in the chamber, closes the door, and presses a button on the control panel. The ram automatically moves down and compresses the drum. With the compressing force, the machine easily achieves a compression ratio of 12-to-1, compressing the drum to a stackable, easily stored size of approximately 10 cm in height. This greatly reduces the needed storage space and transportation costs because the compressed drums take up much less space. Puncture spikes on the platen ensure safe pressure release and metal blockers ensure the drum does not shift during compression. A drainage channel ensures that any residual liquids in the drum are safely drained away. Ideal For: Recycling Centers, Distribution Centers, Manufacturing Plants, Recyclers, Scrapyards, Garages, Other Industrial/Commercial Applications. |  |
