PZZ CARDBOARD CRUSHER

Cardboard Crusher

Overview

The Presto PZZ Cardboard Crusher pre-crushes large cartons and cardboard pallets so your compactor can process more material, faster. Twin wear-resistant feeder shafts collapse the integral shape of cardboard, feeding a more uniform stream into downstream equipment. Pairing the PZZ with a Presto High Force (SPN) Auger Compactor can drastically increase volume throughput and help achieve up to double the bin weights versus conventional compaction, reducing transport trips. 

Key Features

Pre-crush

Collapses bulky cartons & cardboard pallets

Twin shafts

Two wear-resistant feeder shafts for consistent feed

Throughput

Drastically increases compactor volume throughput

Integration

Optimised to pair with Presto SPN High Force Auger

Heavier bins

Combination system can deliver up to 2× bin weights

Reliable build

Robust steel construction for long service life
