HYDRAULICS
A rugged two-speed hydraulic pump powers the heavy duty cylinder to 85,000 pound crushing force. The ram is automatically cycled by a unique all hydraulic control valve.
DRUM HOLD DOWNThe drum hold down prevents the drum from lifting when the compaction head is withdrawn. It also contains splashes and captures vapors which 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 a forklift. The pallet is fitted with interchangeable discs which properly center each size drum. These discs also protect the bottom bead of the drum from damage during compaction.
CLEARANCEAmple 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 CONTROLA gauge indicates the ram force during crushing or compaction. 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 85,000 pounds
SAFETY
An emergency stop button shuts off all power at a touch. A safety interlock automatically shuts off the hydraulic power when the door is not completely closed.
PORTABILITYThe bottom has a built in skid for easy fork lift portability.
