As an oil specialist, you have to be familiar with all the procedures required to properly dispose of oil and a filter. Because of the high threat that are posed to the environment from the toxins in oil, there are necessary requirements that must be met, in legal terms.

Aside from the environmental threats, there are high expenses that go along with filter disposal because of how heavy they are after being overtaken by old oil and other sediments. There is reusable metal within the filter, but you need an efficient and successful way to get it out. That is what a high speed heavy duty oil filter crusher is for. The filter crusher smashes it down to a much smaller size, creating a much lighter load to dispose and also preserving the reusable metal contained inside.

The high speed portion of the title of this tool means that is it capable of crushing at abnormally high speeds, when compared to other models. The high speed heavy duty oil filter crusher has a broad crushing ability and does it very fast as well. The crusher is able to crush automotive and heavy-duty filters up to 15-1/4 inches long and 6 inches in diameter, and they are crushed in approximately 8 to 16 seconds.   

The old filter is reduced to 20 percent of original size, with 95 percent of residual oil removed. You can see how much time and money is saved by reducing the filter size, and taking the oil out and recycling it safely. A key note here is environmentally friendly, and everyone can appreciate that.

How exactly can this special tool be operated? An automatic cycle feature lets you load the filter, push a button, and walk away to complete some other unrelated task. What is nice about this is you do not have to stand around and wait for the crusher to finish, even though it is quick. It is always convenient when you can walk away from a tool, even for a minute.

This high speed heavy duty oil filter crusher is powered by an electric and hydraulic pump, although there are many other models that are powered in differing ways. A hydraulic power source is nice because it is much quieter than say, an engine would be.

The heavy-duty floor stand is both resourceful and is built to last. The leveling pads it comes with are designed to accept a 30-gallon drum for oil drainage. The old oil is much heavier than you would think, and because of that this feature is very helpful to have.

The market for oil changes and the subsequent filter changes needed can be a semi- profitable one if you are able to increase the volume of your servicing. A quick way to do this is to invest in a filter crusher because you are able to dispose of the matter in a quick way and recycle the scrap metal.

Everyone needs to have their oil changed out periodically so that the vehicle can obtain a longer lifetime. The advantage to owning a high speed heavier duty oil filter crusher is that is has the ability to handle pretty much all types of vehicles and their filters- from trucks, construction equipment, and farming equipment, to automotive and light truck applications as well! You will provide quality service that people can rely on.

The last aspect to take into consideration is safety. There are thousands of accidents each year from the operation of heavy duty tool such as this, and technology has gotten more advanced to address this. You can be assured that the latest filter crushers are equipped with the latest safety precautions, protecting your employees and saving you time and money.
