LFA DC - Drum Crusher

The LFA DC Drum Crusher is a heavy-duty industrial steel drum crusher designed to crush standard 205 litre steel drums for disposal. It is used on sites where empty steel drums need to be reduced in size before disposal.

Using a 22 tonne compaction force, the LFA DC Drum Crusher achieves up to 80% volume reduction, reducing the space taken up by empty drums in yards, waste areas and skips. The machine operates on a 28 second crushing cycle, allowing drums to be processed quickly.

The crusher features a large feed chamber with an internal width and depth of 900mm and a height of 1080mm, making it suitable for large empty oil drums, chemical drums and industrial steel containers once drained.

The LFA DC Drum Crusher is commonly used for empty drums that previously contained oils, chemicals, food ingredients and other industrial liquids, once fully drained. Crushing drums before disposal means fewer empty drums taking up space, fewer movements around site, and fewer collections needed over time.

An optional sump can be specified in the base of the machine, complete with a drain tap, to collect any residual liquids released during crushing and allow controlled disposal where required.

An ATEX-rated version of the drum crusher is available for sites that need equipment approved for use where flammable vapours may be present during drum handling.

The LFA DC Drum Crusher is used on UK sites such as manufacturing plants, engineering workshops, distribution hubs, chemical facilities and industrial yards where steel drums are handled in volume.

The LFA DC Drum Crusher is intended for sites that require a dedicated machine for crushing steel drums as part of their normal waste handling process.

Available new or refurbished, to purchase or lease.
