Operation
8. Operation
8.1 Operation of the container crusher
1. Place empty paint can with the lid removed or oil filter
with the open end down in the center of the crushing
chamber.
2. Close door and turn door handle clockwise
approximately 180 degrees. You may walk away to
perform other tasks. Upon returning, the filter or paint
can will be crushed. If you want to crush containers in
succession, listen for air to stop flowing (up to 45
seconds).
Some noise and vibration usually
accompany the crushing process.
3. To remove the crushed paint can or filter, turn the
door handle counterclockwise and air will exhaust
from the ram cylinder. The door will not open until the
ram is fully raised (approximately 10 seconds). Open
the door and remove the crushed, empty paint can or
oil filter.
4. Note: A filter may be crushed for extended periods of
time. The unit can be left under pressure until the next
filter or can is ready for crushing. The catch basin
outlet can become clogged with sludge and semisolid
waste from filters. It is necessary to remove the catch
basin and clean it periodically. Deposit solid residue in
acceptable containers. The oil level in the catch basin
can be viewed through the opening beneath the door
when the door is closed. You may crush several filters
at one time if they are all of similar height and you
have adequate air pressure.
CAUTION: Crushing multiple filters of different
heights or materials can damage the crushing
module. Always have the filters arranged so that they
do not cause the ram to load unevenly.
