Hydraulics
A rugged two-speed hydraulic pump powers the heavy-duty cylinder to provide 150,000 pounds of crushing force. The ram is automatically cycled by a unique all-hydraulic control valve.

Drum Hold Down
The Drum Hold Down feature holds the drum in place during compaction, preventing the drum from lifting during the return stroke. It also contains splashes and captures vapors that can be ducted through the top of the crusher for containment.

Universal Head
The squeeze head consists of one stationary and two removable plates. The stationary head and the smaller plate are for compacting inside 55 and 85-gallon drums. The larger diameter plate is for crushing all sizes of cans and drums. A piercer on this plate vents closed drums through the squeeze head.

Drum Centering Pallet
The Drum Centering Pallet is designed for removing fully packed drums with interchangeable discs that properly center each size drum. These discs also protect the bottom bead of the drum from damage during compaction.

Clearance
Ample loading clearance is provided between the compaction head and the top of the drum. (NOTE: The machine is pictured in mid-stroke. Fully retracted, the compaction head fits inside the drum hold down and they are flush with the top of the compaction chamber.)

Compaction Force Control
DPC150 Models are equipped with an indicator gauge displaying the ram-force during crushing or compacting. The operator can manually override the automatic cycle hydraulic valve at any desired pressure; or the cycle valve can be adjusted to automatically return the ram at any squeeze force from 8,000 up to 150,000 pounds.

Safety
An emergency shut-off button cuts all power at a single touch. A safety-interlock prevents operation when the door is not completely closed.

Portability
The bottom of the Drum Crusher/Compactor has a built-in skid for easy fork lift portability. A custom, over-the-road trailer is also available.
