Drum Washer Crushers - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


1. What is a Drum Washer Crusher?

A Drum Washer Crusher is a machine that washes and crushes metal drums in the same chamber. We offer a wide range to meet different project needs.

2. Do you have a product catalog with technical specs?

Yes, each product page on our website includes a brochure available for download.

3. Why aren't prices listed on the website?

All systems are custom built. Pricing varies based on configuration, features, and project needs.

4. Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we provide global distribution.

5. What is your typical delivery time?

Delivery usually takes 6 to 8 weeks, depending on project size, customizations, and logistics.

6. How do I choose the right system for my needs?

Contact our environmental engineers for a free consultation to determine the best solution for your operation.

7. Why is the number of drums important?

The daily volume and work hours impact system size and automation needs. We help recommend the right model based on your throughput.

8. Why does the type of drum residue matter?

The residue type determines the washing system design—such as filtration needs, heating, or advanced cleaning systems like our Cryo-Cleaner.

9. Why does it matter if drums are reused or recycled?

Reuse may require only washing, while recycling often needs rinsing and crushing. Your intent affects system design and cost.

10. What is the importance of GPM in wash pumps?

GPM (gallons per minute) affects cleaning performance more than horsepower. A higher GPM ensures better removal of residues.

11. Why heat the wash and rinse fluids?

Heated fluids improve cleaning efficiency and reduce drying time. Our tanks are insulated to maintain consistent temperatures.

12. What is a prewash residue removal system?

It removes most residues before washing, improving wash fluid life and allowing recovery of reusable materials.

13. What’s needed to install the system?

Our systems are pre-wired and pre-plumbed for easy installation. You only need to connect utilities per the layout we provide.

14. How do these systems reduce labor costs?

Automation and high-efficiency designs reduce the number of employees needed to process drums.

15. How do they help reduce employee injuries?

Automated systems reduce manual handling, wet surfaces, and equipment risks—helping prevent accidents and lower insurance costs.

16. How are replacement parts and diagnostics handled?

We ship parts worldwide and offer remote diagnostics to help troubleshoot your system from our U.S. office.

17. How do I choose the right recirculation tank?

The best tank depends on your daily drum count, residue amount, and cycle time. Contact us for expert guidance.
