A useful addition to any recycling yard - large or small - is a reliable and high capacity Glass Bottle Breaker.
Hydra-Pac Waste Systems manufacture a range of Glass Bottle Crushers to your requirements. Should you need a single machine to sit on top of a 205 Litre drum, like the picture shown, or a unit running along a track over multiple bins, Hydra-Pac Waste Systems has the unit for you.
These machines are available in single phase electric or can be fitted with a small petrol engine enabling you to take it anywhere. No need to take expensive electrical connections to the back of your yard.
One of the best things about these machines is that not only will they handle whole carton loads of bottles and jars at one time, but it also smashes the bottles to approximately 50mm diameter. This enables the glass merchant to still see the colour of the glass and rewards you with the best price for your product.
Bottle Crushers can be modified to suit any customer requirement. For more information on this and other machinery, please go to the Contact us page and send us an email with YOUR needs.
