Electric Hydraulic Oil Filter Crushers recycles used filters and oil quickly, safely and easily. The CrushMaster 2 is designed for heavy-duty use.

How does it work?
It uses a pneumatic pump to crush the filter.  It removes up to 95% of used oil while crushing filters down to 20% of the original size. As it is crushing the filter, it drains and collects the residual oil.  It works with standard oil filters and one gallon cans.  Featuring a solid steel construction and a safety interlock door system, that air powered oil filter crusher, as its name indicates, operates 100% by air power.

What is it used for?
It is mostly used to prepare prepares bulky items (oil filters) for scrap metal recycling.  It is also a safety tool because it keeps waste oil from collecting on the floor.  The filters are flattened dry, so there is no excess oil leaking onto the floor to cause a slip hazard.

What return on investment can we expect if we purchase an air powered oil filter crusher?
First, your facility will greatly benefit from the financial savings of oil disposal costs.  The government classifies oil filters as hazardous waste.  Anything in this category costs more money than you want to spend to dispose of.  Penalties are charged to you if your oil filters contain traces of used oil.  The first thing you can count on from using a filter crusher is not ever having to pay these penalties again.

The air powered oil filter crusher can also help you benefit financially from scrap metal recycling.  Oil free cans can be taken into any recycling center and turned into cash.

There are also some very real benefits that come to your organization that may be difficult to specifically quantify, but that nonetheless represent clear advantages.

One is the improvement in facility control that results from space consolidation.  A well-ordered facility is easier to inventory and work within.  Process flow goes more smoothly and production increases.  Getting rid of the litter that used filters and oil cans commonly create is a good step forward in more efficient space management.

Also, getting trace oil off the floor makes the workplace safer.  One slip and one injury can cost a company a good employee and a great amount of money in workers compensation.  The liability factor that the air powered oil filter crusher eliminates makes it a preventative tool of protecting businesses assets against very real negatives that often unexpectedly challenge businesses.

Pneumatic-Airbag Level Loader with Turntable For Loads That Vary Greatly

Posted on by March 3, 2011

Pallet Pal Lift Table Pneumatic (Airbag)Sometimes you work with loads that vary greatly as you are loading and unloading pallets.  For these jobs you need a pneumatic airbag pallet level loader that gives you linear responsiveness when varying loads are changed constantly. 

This kind of pallet leveler offers a distinct advantage over automatic models.  Automatic levelers are meant to handle only uniform loads.  The frequent variance in some kinds of loads that workers encounter on docks and warehouses calls for a more versatile unit capable of adapting continually to changing load differentials. 

Pneumatic airbag level loaders include the following features:

  • Optional phenolic frames that protect against corrosion and accidental collisions in the shop
  • A fully protected air bag that remains in the down position during all nearside loading and unloading applications
  • A 43 5/8 inch diameter, turntable that rides on low-friction bearings and that easily turns with even the heaviest of loads
  • Rugged frame capable of supporting up to 4500 pounds in weight
  • A fully guarded, easily accessible air outlet and gauge that gives you a convenient interface with any pneumatic air outlet

 The pneumatic airbag level loader provides the same performance the spring pallet leveler, but it also relies on an airbag that operates on shop air.  There is also a spring in the unit that works like a safety backup to support the unloaded turntable in the event of accidental air loss from the bag.    

The turntable is easy for your workers to rotate after they have finished stacking products on one side of the pallet.  This will save them many steps because they do not have to walk around the pallet to create level loads.  This pallet leveler keeps the turntable steady and even when non-uniform loads are being stacked on the pallet. 

 This makes it ideal for any kind of manual palletizing applications where the load, weight, pallet size, and product dimensions are varied and unpredictable.  It eliminates practically all bending, straining, stretching, reaching, and walking around.  Just think of the relief that this will afford to your workers.  They will have more energy on both the mental and physical levels, and they will enjoy a workplace where the risk of injury has been drastically reduced.

Such a boost that in moral that naturally results from Investing in a pneumatic airbag pallet level loader is sure to pay off with an ROI in process flow and time to market efficiency.

Pneumatic airbag pallet levelers are made for rugged reliability.  The extra wide base is designed for stability when the unit is freestanding.  No lagging is required.   Fork pockets in the base help to stabilize it as well as make it easy to move when required.

Heavy Duty Wire Shelving and Shelves

Posted on by October 9, 2010

48X46 (2.5x4.5) Flared Wire DeckingWhat are heavy duty wire shelves used for?

They are used for high density storage and heavy load storage.  Shelving units are built in such a way as to convert as much unused vertical space as possible into efficiently organized storage space .

Warehouses use heavy duty wire shelving because it transforms huge sections of the vertical cube into organized storage space.  The same principle holds true in factories.  Sections of walls and rooms located near work areas can be transformed into usable storage space right next to production areas. 

Where is heavy duty wire shelving used?

Virtually every type of business has a use for it to some degree. 

What are features of heavy duty wire shelves make them so versatile and beneficial?

  • For one thing, they allow air to freely circulate around stored items.  This helps preserve perishables for longer periods of time.
  • Better lighting conditions result because light can penetrate the wire to the next shelf below.
  • It is easier to see items on the shelf
  • There is less risk of fire.

What kind of weigh capacities are we talking about here?

Each individual shelf can hold between 600 lbs and 800 lbs per weight.  Depending on the number of shelves and how they are supported and mounted, some units can hold up to 1500 lbs each.

Could you give me a few examples of the heavy duty wire shelving you sell?

Cantilevered and mount to the side of the wall, turning the wall itself into storage space. 

Dunnage systems are used in warehouse and restaurant storage.  The design is basic.  It consists of a metal frame, a mid-level shelf, and a bottom shelf.

Sliding track systems have bearings in the skate underneath each post.  Each unit has a load capacity of 1,500 lbs.  The V-groove floor track allows the shelving unit to slide back and forth easily. 

What materials are heavy duty wire shelves made from?

  • Chrome plated nickel units are very durable and ideal for up-front storage or material handling environments.
  • Stainless Steel units feature an electropolish finish that resists corrosion.  It is very useful in heavily polluted factory environments and in shipping yards located near salt water.  
  • Proform is a type of carbon steel is that is treated with an iron phosphate base. A hybrid epoxy with an antibacterial agent is electrostatically applied.  This type of wire shelving system is used in high humidity areas.

Do only manufacturing and warehousing operations use this type of shelf space?

No.  Offices use shelving to store paperwork, office supplies, and IT components.  In many cases this saves companies thousands of dollars a year on leasing office space, because it allows them to use small closets and tiny storage rooms more efficiently.

Shelving can also be positioned in office space itself to create ready access to materials without having to run to the workroom.  Wire shelf units can also create an entire organizational system for the company mail room. 

Can these be used for retail display?

Yes.  Especially in stores where parts and heavier items are stored, having a shelving system that can support large quantities of merchandise is nothing but a plus.

Is there a residential application for your product?

Yes.  More and more homeowners are beginning to realize that heavy duty wire shelving is a great way to organize the unused spaces in their garages and workrooms.
