Oil Filter Crusher cycle time.

I was wondering if you could tell me the cycle time of this crusher (John Dow AFC-100 Automotive Oil Filter Crusher) and its overall quality.

Thanks for your email and visiting our site.

The John Dow Automotive Oil filter crusher takes about 30 seconds to fully crush an oil filter. So 2 filters a minute is realistic for the machine. As to the quality issue, if you use 85 psi of pressure and keep it lubricated, there is no reason why this unit should not last 10 years. It comes with a one year factory warranty. One of the best features is the hydraulics are made by SPX power team. They are the largest manufacturer for automotive hydraulics in the country. What this means for you is there are lots of authorized service centers in the US to do any warranty work you might have. I gather from your email address that you are in Virginia. There are 4 service centers in your state. The bottom line is that if you use the proper air pressure, keep the machine lubricated, and only put one automotive oil filter at a time in the unit, it should last you 10 years without a problem.
