REM - Model PRC-7.5 -Can Crushers for Used Aluminum Beverage Containers
The REM PRC Series Can Crushers are complete separating and crushing units for aluminum cans. The design of this unit has the reputation for dependability and low maintenance. Rugged steel construction makes the PRC Series the one to use for long-term productivity.
Proven Design
The PRC Series efficiently separates and crushes up to 1,800 lbs. of aluminum cans per hour. Load cans into the hopper and the conveyor carries the cans across the magnetic head pulley separating the steel and aluminum. The aluminum cans are crushed between a steel pressure plate and a rotating crusher drum with hardened steel bars, then the cans drop into a REM TRC Conveyor, MCB Can Buying System, or other container.
Standard Features
The PRC Series is designed with many standard safety features. An electrical safety interlock on the crusher access door and a main electrical disconnect protects the operator and the machine.
