55E Drum Crusher

Crush up to 10,000 drums per year.

55E Drum CrusherAt 60,000 pounds of crushing force, the medium to heavy duty Model 55E can crush a steel drum down to a height of 4.5 inches tall.  It includes many of the same features of our top of the line Model 55A (including the identical hydraulic system) but is priced for the medium volume user.

Simple pushbutton operation and automatic cycling makes this machine ideal for a military installation, a pharmaceutical processor or a manufacturing plant.

The flexible control system even allows this machine to be customized for integration with a drum washing operation with programmable controls.

Like most RAM FLAT Compactors, the 55E can be converted into an inside-the-drum waste compactor by getting an extra compaction head sized for a 55-gallon drum.   You have the option of doing this now or years down the road.

  • 60,000 lbs.  hydraulic force for inside drum compaction/drum crushing
  • 5″ NFPA cylinder with 3.5″ chrome rods
  • .188 Steel Plate Crushing Chamber with 1″ thick base plate
  • 1″ Steel Compaction Head with reinforcing gussets
