Drum Crusher DC7000-10 Diesel

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. Offering all the options you might need, 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 to 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.
