Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does a Paint Can Crusher work?

Paint Can Crushers contain a reinforced metal plate (also called a pressing plate) which is powered down by a piston to crush your paint cans. Paint Can Crushers crush empty cans to a fraction of their original size therefore dramatically reducing costs of disposal and storage space required.

2. How much does a Pneumatic Can Crusher cost?

QCR supply both pnuematic and hydraulic can compacting machines for hire and purchase. The cost of a commerical can crusher cost depends on which model you choose and the length of your contract. Prices start from approximately £20 per week (ex VAT) which includes installation by our SafeContrator accredited team, free ongoing staff training and routine machine servicing. If you prefer to buy your crushing equipment, all our Can Compactors have a 12 month warranty if installed at a UK address. This comprehensive warranty includes parts, labour and call out charges.
