This diesel-powered drum crusher is built for rugged, high-capacity crushing applications where durability, portability, and off-grid performance matter.
Diesel-powered for high-capacity, rugged performance
The DC7000-10 Diesel Drum Crusher is a super heavy-duty system engineered to crush a high volume of drums continuously. This dual-purpose unit can crush empty drums or compact waste inside the drum itself. It reduces 55-gallon steel drums to just 2.5–3 inches in height, helping save storage space and lower transportation costs.
Equipped with a 10 HP diesel motor, this machine includes fused electrical controls, a hydraulic door safety switch, and an oil sight gauge with temperature indicator. Its construction is entirely heavy-duty steel, designed for long-term industrial use in rugged environments.
With over three decades of refinement since 1991, the DC7000-10 Diesel stands as one of the most powerful and reliable drum crushers on the market.
Designed, Engineered and Assembled in the USA, the DC7000-10 Diesel offers dependable hydraulic crushing performance, optimized for demanding workloads in field or off-grid locations. It is designed to handle both standard drum crushing and in-drum waste compaction for operations that need higher versatility and heavy-duty output.
Straight sided or smooth walled steel drums require extremely high crushing force to properly compact them for industrial disposal and recycling. Drumbeaters of America® drum crushers are engineered specifically to process these rigid containers efficiently and reliably in continuous heavy-duty industrial operations.
The DC5000 models deliver up to 70,000 lbs of crushing force, while the DC7000 models deliver up to 85,000 lbs, both operating at approximately 3,000 PSI hydraulic pressure. This level of power allows these machines to compress standard 55-gallon straight sided steel drums down to approximately 3 inches, helping facilities meet industrial drum disposal and environmental compliance requirements.
Due to this exceptional crushing force and robust hydraulic design, Drumbeaters of America® drum crushers are among the only systems in the market capable of efficiently processing straight sided drums under continuous heavy-duty service conditions.
