55SC Drum Compactor

Priced for the small volume generator using 55-gallon drums.

55SC Drum CompactorWhether compacting paint booth filters or low-level radioactive waste, the Model 55SC is an economical choice that still packs a huge punch.

The Model 55SC is available in a “standard” electrical version as well as two explosion-proof configurations.   Both the Model 55SC and the 55SC-EX use 3-phase electrical power to drive the hydraulic cylinder and controls.

The Model 55SC-P unit uses no electrical power at all, but rather uses standard compressed air to drive a pneumatic air motor.  This air motor in turn drives the same hydraulic circuitry that is used on the 55SC-EX.   With the exception of the power source, all three versions are identical in operation and specification.

The 55SC has a hold-down control feature built into the hydraulic system. When the compaction head lowers and reaches maximum pressure, the hydraulic system locks. Maintaining this compaction head position tends to break down the memory of the material. This prevents material springback which significantly improves volume reduction.

This control is extremely helpful when compacting lightweight waste like paper, cloth or plastic. The compaction head will stay in this position almost indefinitely – even with the motor turned off.
