Drum Crushers Baler / Barrel Flattener
Drum crushers (also known as drum presses, barrel flatteners, drum crushing balers) are baling machines that use strong hydraulic pressure to flatten almost any kind of metal container / drums / barrels, up to a full 55 gallon size. This is an important step in the recycling process, as drums take up quite a bit of space, and are unwieldy and inefficient to transport once emptied. Once the drums have been crushed, the scrap metal is then typically recycled.
Whether you have just a few barrels a week or a larger need (like hundred barrels a day), one of our vertical barrel crushing balers can suit your needs. The drum crusher we offer can compact up to 65 pieces per hour (of drums up to 220 L) with a compression rate of 66139lbs. Like most of our vertical balers, it can be operated safely by one person, which makes for greater efficiency. Obviously, this type of baler is not for everyone, but if you have steel drums to dispose of / transport, these drum crushers can efficiently compress / reduce the volume of waste to better facilitate transportation and recycling.
Baling Applications: steel oil drums, steel paint barrels, and any other types of steel/aluminum drums/barrels
Choose from our existing model below, or contact us with your specific needs, and we’ll customize a baling machine that will fully meet them.
Main Features
Spikes on the Platen
for puncturing the drums. This releases air pressure during compression for better efficiency and greater operator safety. View image
Long Stroke
enables the drums to be flattened in a high compaction ratio, further reducing your waste footprint.
Liquid Draining Channel
for efficiently draining the residual liquid out of the chamber. This is ideal for facilities that crush drums that once carried liquid. View image
