Pre-Crusher Stationary Compactors
Pre-crushers reduce heavy shipping crates and barrels to a fraction of their original bulk. Each stroke of the powerful ram crushes disposed material against a tough solid steel bulkhead at the end of the charging chamber. This machine has a heavy duty guillotine that is used by the ram as a wall to compact against before cycling again into the container. The bulkhead automatically lifts and the crushed material is forced into the receiving container.
The pre-crusher system is designed to be an integral part of the stationary compactor, not an add-on or after thought. Ideal for pallet, drum crushing and product destruction, and to achieve maximum density. These machines are built to take the abuses of high compaction forces.
Extremely high reduction ratios are achieved because air pockets in the material are eliminated – offering substantial savings in hauling costs. Loads are easily emptied out of the receiving container because the material has lost much of its "memory."
One of the many typical applications of the Pre-crusher includes crushing 55 gallon drums. This industrial compactor reduces these drums to a fraction of their original length without lifting or handling the crushed drums! Each Pre-crusher features a programmable controller to re-set to your changing needs. A variety of containers are also available.
