| Oil Filter Crusher |
Equipment Description
Several
different units are available through GSA. Units are typically positioned
on a stand or in an enclosure. Units vary according to crushing force, size
and number of filters crushed, percent of oil recovery, and cycle time.
Units may be air- or electrically-driven.
Benefits of Use
Navy activities typically dispose of used oil filters as hazardous waste. Filter crushers may be used to compact the filters, thereby removing the waste oil. The waste oil is recycled, and the carcass is disposed of as solid waste. In some cases, the carcass may be sold as scrap. Saves storage space (important shipboard consideration).
