• Fleet Management: Supports internal fleet maintenance operations by streamlining the disposal of various oil filter sizes.
• Industrial Facilities: Suitable for industrial settings where machinery and equipment require regular oil filter changes.
• Recycling Operations: Prepares used oil filters for recycling by compacting them and removing residual oil.

Benefits

Implementing the OTC 1896 High Speed Oil Filter Crusher offers significant operational, environmental, and financial advantages.

• Reduced Disposal Costs: Compacting filters to 20% of their original size and removing 95% of residual oil substantially decreases waste volume, leading to lower hazardous waste disposal fees.
• Enhanced Environmental Compliance: Aids businesses in meeting EPA and other regulatory requirements for proper disposal of used oil and filters, minimizing environmental contamination.
• Increased Shop Efficiency: The high-speed crushing cycle and automatic operation reduce the time spent on filter disposal, allowing technicians to focus on other tasks and improve overall productivity.
• Optimized Space Utilization: Crushed filters occupy significantly less storage space compared to uncrushed filters, freeing up valuable floor area in workshops.
• Oil Recovery and Recycling: Reclaims a substantial amount of used oil from filters, which can then be recycled or reused, potentially generating revenue or reducing new oil purchases.
• Improved Workplace Safety: Automates the messy and potentially hazardous process of draining and disposing of oil filters, reducing manual handling and spill risks.
