This oil filter and paint can crusher expertly crushes your toughest filters and cans to 20%-25% of their original size in seconds. At the reduced size, cans and oil filters are much cheaper to dispose. Perfect for crushing light-duty truck and automotive filters, even those 8-inch tall filters found in power stroke diesels will fold under the massive force of this crusher.The average auto repair shop ends up with hundreds of oil filters every year, all filled with sludge and used oil from engines. Because of this, used filters are seen as contaminated waste by the EPA. This crusher separates 95% of the waste oil from the metal and recycles it into a storage container for proper disposal. Once crushed, you can deliver them to a metal recycling facility where you'll get paid for the scrap value of the metal.The included stand supports the RP-20FC oil filter crusher. Place your oil storage tanks within the stand for clean, efficient collection of residual draining oil. Its generous design accommodates 5, 16 and 55-gallon used oil storage tanks, and the tanks fit even when they're positioned on top of drum dollies. Residual oil sludge will drain right into your storage tank. The stand is made from robust metal and holds over 230 lbs. of oil. Setup is fast and easy.You'll be delighted by the space-efficiency and safety this unit brings to your shop. Just slide storage barrels beneath the stand and the tanks are ready to receive waste oil from the crusher's downspout tube.
