CRUSHER

Timber_Pallet_Crusher

Overview

The Presto Timber Pallet Crusher pre-treats wooden pallets and small timber so downstream compactors deliver heavier, denser loads. It can process up to 360 pallets/hour and routinely achieves over 6.5 t in a standard 31 m³ bin, all in a compact footprint of about 7.3 × 2.6 m. Often paired with a High Force Auger for maximum results.
