QCR GLS1 Glass Bottle Crusher
The QCR GLS1 Glass Crusher is designed to reduce glass bottle volumes by up to 10:1, crushing the bottles into a sharp-free sand-like material. This gl glass crusher to sand machine unfortunately can't turn bottles into actual sand but the texture of the finished ground material is similiar to sand and is sharp free (see product video below).
Key Technical Features of this Glass Recycling Machine:
- Crushes up to 160 x 330ml bottles or 60 standard wine bottles (or equivalent) into the 20L bin provided

What type of bars could benefit from this type of Glass Recycling Machine?
The GLS1 is recommended for all types of bars with low/medium volumes of bottles including those in pubs, restaurants, nightclubs, hotels, cafés, sporting venues & events venues.
If you sell large Champagne bottles or equivalent (with a greater diameter than 10cm) at your venue, we recommend the GLS2 which crushes glass waste into the same grade of material but has the benefit of a larger aperture.
