Ranger Products unveiled its new high-powered RP-20FC Oil Filter Crusher, which the company said applies 10 tons of pure, air-operated pressure to just about any used oil filter, reducing it to 25% of its original size and removing 95% of the oil within 20 seconds.
The industrial-quality, welded steel plate crusher features an X-shape bevel in the press head that pre-aligns filters for an absolute vertical press, so the machine can handle even the 8-inch tall filters for Cummins and Power Stroke diesel-powered vehicles, according to the company.
Ranger said the RP-20FC has been well-received both by power-users and environmental advocates because it features an integrated collection chamber and collector downspout for oil recovery, reducing reduce spill hazards. The door on the RP-20FC also doubles as a fail-safe device that ceases all operations the moment it’s opened. It also has a transparent monitoring window, so the process can be inspected by the operator, the maker said.
An optional stand is also available from Ranger. Made from rugged steel, it fits a 5-, 16- or 55-gallon drum beneath, while the RP-20FC Oil Filter Crusher sits on top.
