The Vestil HDC-905-IDC/208V is a combined hydraulic drum crusher and compactor designed to handle 55-gallon steel drums with a single, built‑in machine. When in crushing mode, the unit exerts up to 38,000 pounds of force to flatten drums to roughly 6 inches in height, completing the cycle in about 25 seconds. The attached compactor platen provides a separate function: by removing the platen, users can compact the drum contents, with this capability limited to 55-gallon drums. This dual‑function arrangement reduces handling steps and creates a more efficient workflow for drum processing. Safety features include a pressure relief valve to prevent overload and a door interlock that prevents the motor from running unless the door is closed. The machine is built on a steel frame and includes a drip pan to capture potential spills, with fork pockets for easier relocation within a facility.
