This crusher has a 3 phase, 7.5hp electric motor that will easily handle oil filters, cans, and other bulky items. Although it can be used for a variety of products, it is specifically made for oil filters. It has holes in the base of the crushing compartment, and a place for a reservoir of some kind to go under the base to catch any oil that was left in the filter. A good machine at a good price, and it’s ready to go to work today.
