55AR & 85AR
Built for continuous duty & demanding applications using 55 or 85 gallon drums.

Does your application require you to compact thousands of drums of waste per year of waste? Does your operation require heavy-duty construction with minimal downtime? Do you demand the best volume reduction possible? Then the 55AR is the compactor for you.

What if you need to do all of that and need to compact the waste into 85-gallon overpack drums? Then the 85AR is your choice.

The 55AR and the 85AR are designed for round-the-clock operation. The 3/8-inch thick rolled steel plate compaction chamber is virtually indestructible. And the tough positive-displacement piston pump and 10-HP motor guaranty a fast compaction cycle.

And like most of the other RAM FLAT Compactors, the 55AR and 85AR can be supplied with a bolt-on Crushing Plate that lets the operator crush empty drums with the same machine.

The 55AR & 85AR have been used for reducing the volume of radioactive waste, paint filters, transformer cases and for destruction of products like cathode ray tubes. With a remote control option, these machines have been installed in a radioactive "hot cell" area that permitted the operator to load and unload the compactor safely from another room.
