A rugged high-speed hydraulic pump powers the heavy duty cylinder to 150,000 pound crushing force. The ram is automatically cycled by a unique all hydraulic control valve. Ample loading clearance is provided between the compaction head and the top of the drum. The drum centering pallet is designed for removing fully packed drums with interchangeable discs which properly center each size drum.

Standard product features:

• A gauge indicates the pressure during crushing or compacting. The operator can manually override the automatic cycle hydraulic valve at any desired pressure. Or the cycle valve can be set to automatically return the ram at any squeeze force between 8,000 and 150,000 pounds.
• An emergency stop button shuts off all power at a touch. A safety interlock prevents operation when the door is open.
• 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.
• The bottom of the machine has a built in skid for easy forklift portability.
