VESTIL Hydraulic Drum Crusher/compactor

Hydraulic Drum Crusher/compactor

Vestil drum crushers / compactors are specially designed for crushing hazardous materials in a drum to reduce disposal costs and crushing empty drums to save valuable storage space. These dual function units come with a standard 460 V, 3-phase, 6.5 hp motor and a dual-speed hydraulic pump capable of crushing and compacting drums of sizes up to 55 gallons. They meet OSHA 1910.212 and ANSI Z245.5 standards and feature pressure relief valves to prevent system overload and a door interlock system that allows the motor to run only when the door is closed. The crushers can easily be converted into compactors by removing the crushing plate to allow for drum compacting. They have a Crush / Compact switch and two pressure switches - high pressure for crushing and low pressure for compacting. Choose from a wide variety of these hydraulic drum crushers / compactors from Vestil, available with built-in fork pockets for easy transport, on Raptor Supplies.

Working Mechanism

• These drum crushers have an enclosed crushing chamber for accommodating drums.
• Once the drum is placed on the chamber's platform, the drum head piercer releases internal drum pressure.
• Controls are used to power the 2 speed hydraulic gear pump that crushes the drum.
• These units have 2 modes (crush / compact) for getting a crushed or compacted drum depending upon the requirement.
• The hydraulic crushing system is powered by electrical power for a fatigue free operation.
