Tired of Mounting Can Disposal Costs and Inefficient Volume Reduction?
For plant managers and facility operators, managing empty chemical, paint, and beverage cans is more than a nuisance—it's a significant operational expense. You're dealing with soaring waste disposal fees, valuable floor space consumed by bulky containers, and potential safety hazards from sharp edges and residual contents. Manual crushing is labor-intensive and inconsistent, while standard compactors are often overkill and inefficient for this specific task. It's time to transform this liability into a streamlined, cost-saving process.
Introducing the Vektor-H Series Industrial Can Crushers: Precision-Engineered for Maximum ROI
The Vektor-H Series is not just a crusher; it's an integrated volume reduction system designed for the rigors of industrial environments. Engineered to handle steel, aluminum, and aerosol cans, it processes them into uniform, stackable pancakes, slashing your waste volume by up to 90%. This translates directly into fewer pickups, lower handling costs, and a cleaner, safer workspace.
How the Vektor-H Workflow Simplifies Your Operation:.jpg)
- Feed: Operators safely load cans onto the powered conveyor inlet.
- Crush: The automated system feeds cans into a hardened steel crushing chamber.
- Eject: Hydraulic pressure—calibrated for each can type—flattens cans into dense pucks.
- Collect: Processed pucks are discharged into a standard drum or gaylord for easy recycling or disposal.
What Sets the Vektor-H Series Apart? Core Features for Unmatched Performance
Our engineering team focused on durability, safety, and operational simplicity to deliver a machine that performs day in and day out.
- Heavy-Duty Crusher Box: Constructed from 1-inch thick AR400 steel plate at all critical wear points. This ensures exceptional longevity even when processing contaminated or heavy-gauge steel cans.
- Intelligent PLC Control System: A fully automated cycle with manual override allows for precise control. The system includes diagnostic alerts and jam detection, minimizing downtime.
- Residual Liquid Management: An integrated drip pan with optional drain port safely captures leftover liquids from chemical or food containers, preventing contamination and slip hazards.
- Safety-By-Design: Features a two-hand operation cycle for the manual mode, an emergency stop button, and an interlocked safety guard that halts all operation when opened.
Why Choose Vektor-H Over Alternative Solutions?
| Feature | Standard Balers / Compactors | Generic Can Crushers | Vektor-H Series |

Proven Applications Across Key Industries
The Vektor-H Series delivers value in any scenario requiring efficient metal can disposal.
- Chemical Manufacturing & Processing: Safely crush solvent, additive, and catalyst containers. The liquid management system is critical here.
- Food & Beverage Production: Efficiently process large volumes of ingredient cans and tins from production lines.
- Automotive & Aerospace: Manage used oil, lubricant, and parts washer fluid cans in maintenance bays.
- Municipal Recycling Facilities: Create a high-value, densified stream of recyclable metals.
Case Study: Major Food Processing Plant Reduces Disposal Costs by 40%
A leading food manufacturer was spending excessively on waste hauling for their facility handling thousands of vegetable oil and ingredient cans weekly. After installing two Vektor-H30 units at the end of their production lines:
- They reduced their dedicated can disposal volume by approximately 88%.
- This led to a reduction from three weekly hauls to just one every two weeks.
- The project achieved a full return on investment in under 14 months through disposal savings alone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the Vektor-H safely crush aerosol cans?
A: Yes. The crusher is equipped with a integrated piercing pin that safely vents propellant prior to the full crushing cycle. All models meet relevant safety standards for this application when operated as directed.
Q: What is the expected maintenance schedule?
A: Maintenance is minimal. Daily visual checks and weekly cleaning are recommended. A full hydraulic fluid and filter change is required annually under normal operating conditions. All service points are easily accessible.
Q: Do you offer custom configurations?
A: Absolutely. We regularly customize feed heights conveyor lengths discharge chutes etc.to integrate seamlessly with your existing workflow Contact our engineering team to discuss your specific layout
.Q: How does the machine handle cans with significant product residue?
A: The Vektor H is designed for this reality The robust hydraulic system can process cans with semi solid residues However we recommend scraping out excess material when possible to maximize efficiency The drip pan manages any free flowing liquids
