55-Gallon Drum Crushers

Features and Benefits

Optimized for standard 55-gallon steel drums – engineered specifically for consistent, high-force drum compaction in industrial environments.
High-compression models down to 4 inches – significantly reduces drum volume to lower storage, handling, and disposal costs.
Hazardous location control options – supports operation in regulated or high-risk facilities with additional safety requirements.
Simple push-button operation – allows efficient, safe use with minimal operator training.
Fully enclosed crushing chamber – protects operators while containing debris throughout the crushing cycle.
Standalone crushers or crusher/packer combinations – flexible configurations to match different waste-handling workflows.
Heavy-duty industrial construction – built for reliable performance in demanding, continuous-use applications.
UL-listed electrical panels – certified for safety and compliant with North American electrical standards.

Baleforce drum crushers are suited for a wide range of industrial and commercial environments, including:

Ideal for:

Reduced disposal and transportation costs – compresses steel drums to a fraction of their original size, minimizing haul frequency and tipping fees.
Improved floor space utilization – flattened drums require significantly less storage space, helping keep facilities organized and efficient.
Enhanced workplace safety – enclosed crushing chambers and controlled operation reduce risks associated with manual drum handling.
Faster drum processing – consistent cycle times allow operators to process more drums without disrupting production flow.
Simplified waste handling workflows – integrates easily with existing waste systems using standalone or combo crusher/packer configurations.
Lower environmental impact – fewer transport loads and optimized waste volume support sustainability and waste-reduction goals.

All Baleforce Drum Crushers are designed to handle standard 55-gallon steel drums.
