Hydraulic 5-Gallon Steel Pail Crushers for Waste Reduction
Hydraulic 5-gallon steel pail crushers provide an efficient way to reduce empty pail volume, improve waste handling, and lower storage and disposal demands in manufacturing plants, maintenance shops, paint and coating operations, chemical handling areas, and industrial facilities. The unit crushes steel pails to approximately 2 inches high, then automatically resets for the next pail, helping operators process containers quickly and consistently.
Powerful Hydraulic Crushing Performance
The hydraulic system delivers 10,000 lb. of crushing force with a 70 second cycle time, making it a practical solution for routine pail disposal and recycling preparation. The 18 inch cylinder stroke provides controlled compression, while 115V single phase power allows plug-in operation in many standard work areas.
Built-In Safety Features
Safety features include a pressure relief valve to help prevent overload, a door interlock system that prevents motor operation when the door is unlatched, and a mushroom head emergency stop button. The unit meets OSHA and JIC standards for industrial use.
Installation and Drip Pan Option
Removable legs allow the crusher to be used as a freestanding unit or mounted on a bench top. Durable steel construction with a baked-in blue powder coat finish supports long-term use. An optional aluminum drip pan is available to catch excess liquid that may be expelled during crushing.
