Drum Crusher

Oil Drum and Paint Bucket Crusher Equipment Structural Diagram

Haoxing Machinery's Paint Bucket Crusher, also known as the Oil Drum Crusher, is a specialized metal recovery system designed to process hazardous waste containers such as used oil drums, paint buckets, and 200L steel drums. The complete recycling line integrates a Dual-Shaft Shredder, Paint Bucket Crusher (Hammer Mill), Magnetic Separator, and Dust Collection System. Through a two-stage size reduction process—primary shredding followed by fine hammer milling—the system transforms contaminated drums into clean metal granules ranging from 3mm to 20mm. Paint coatings, rust, and oil residues are automatically liberated and separated during crushing, yielding high-purity ferrous scrap ready for direct steelmaking. This process achieves both resource recovery and environmentally sound disposal of hazardous waste.

Composition of oil drum and paint bucket crusher equipment production line

The complete paint bucket recycling line operates as follows:

1. Primary Shredding (Dual-Shaft Shredder): Waste paint and oil drums are first fed into a Dual-Shaft Shredder, where intermeshing blades shear and tear the drums into strips or irregular chunks.

2. Secondary Fine Crushing (Hammer Mill): The shredded material is conveyed to the Paint Bucket Crusher. Inside the crushing chamber, high-speed rotating hammers deliver powerful, repeated impacts. Material is struck, ground, and abraded within the confined space between hammers and wear liners, reducing it to 3mm - 20mm metal granules. Paint, rust, and surface contaminants are dislodged during this process.

3. Screening & Collection: Properly sized granules pass through a bottom screen grate and are collected.

4. Magnetic Separation: The granules are processed by a Magnetic Separator, extracting clean ferrous metal from any non-metallic residues, further enhancing purity.

5. Dust Collection: An integrated dust collection system continuously extracts airborne particulates generated during crushing, ensuring a clean, compliant working environment.

1. Reinforced Manganese Steel Housing for Superior Durability
   The crusher housing is fabricated from 20mm - 30mm thick manganese steel plate, welded for exceptional strength and impact resistance. A hydraulic opening system facilitates maintenance. Motors are premium national-standard units with a one-year free replacement warranty against quality defects.

2. Optimized Design for Safety & Reliability
   The equipment features a rational, robust design. The feed inlet size can be customized to user requirements. The inlet is engineered to prevent material kickback, eliminating the risk of projectile-related operator injury.

3. Superior Contaminant Removal, High Purity Output
   Optimized hammer and liner configurations ensure scrap material undergoes repeated impact and abrasion within the chamber. Rust and paint coatings are effectively stripped from the metal surface. Combined with downstream magnetic separation and dust extraction, the resulting metal granules achieve exceptional purity.

4. Integrated Dust Collection, Environmentally Compliant
   The system includes a high-efficiency dust collector that continuously cleans the airstream within the crusher, effectively controlling fugitive dust emissions and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

5. Complete Model Range, Flexible Throughput
   Haoxing Machinery offers a full range of models from PSJ-600 to PSJ-1600, all available from stock. Processing capacities range from 500 kg/h to 6 t/h, with adjustable output particle size from 3mm to 20mm to meet diverse customer requirements.
