Q: What's the difference between a standard compactor and a Glosser Precrusher?
A: Here is a short list of machine differences:

Stationary Compactor:

• Pushes objects into the container, doesn't crush objects.
• Usually operates with only a single piston and single ram.
• Usually is not built to withstand great forces.
• Ram penetrates the receiver only 10 - 15 inches (varies by manufacturer).

• Reduces volume of all materials up to 4x of what standard compactors can achieve.
• Built with a patented dual cross-piston design on a step-press ram system.
• The Glosser precrusher sides are constructed of 3/8" steel and the floor with 3/4" steel.
• Crushes objects with up to 113,000 lbs. of force.
• Ram penetrates the receiver up to 44 inches.

Q: How much more can I crush with a precrusher versus a compactor?
A: A Glosser precrusher is able to attain forces of up to 113,000 lbs., which makes it the strongest in the entire industry!

• The normal compaction ratio when going from a compactor to a Glosser precrusher is usually 4 to 1.
• When upgrading from a open-top container to a Glosser precrusher the compaction ratio can be upwards of 10 times.

Q: Why should I pay more for a Precrusher when a compactor is cheaper?
A: Although the initial price of a precrusher is higher than an ordinary compactor, the extra capabilities and savings potential will outweigh the initial extra cost.

Because a precrusher reduces the volume of material before the compaction cycle, more material can be packed into the receiver, resulting in less trips to the landfill. Because each trip to the landfill costs you money, less trips mean more savings!

*Average savings on hauling with a Glosser precrusher are around $2000 per month, depending on application; and in many cases even more than that.

*A Glosser precrusher typically pays for itself in 9-12 months, after that you just keep the savings.

Q: What kind of materials can I crush?
A: With a Glosser precrusher you can crush almost anything.

Common applications include, but not limited to:

• Pallets, crates, and 2x4's
• Wooden objects of various sizes
• Metal barrels and other crushable metals
• Packaging materials
• Insulation materials
• Office and home furniture
• Office and home appliances of all sizes (including washers, dryers, and stoves)
• Wet and dry materials
• Paper, cardboard, and plastics
• Hospital waste
• Misc. crushable objects
• Various construction materials

Q: What is unique about the Glosser Precrusher?
A:

• The Glosser patented dual cross-piston design allows the over all length to much shorter than our competition's single straight piston configuration.
• Glosser's patented step-deck design allows for a crushing cycle and a compaction cycle at the same time, saving you time and money.
• Glosser's structurally supported stationary breaker bar replaces the "Guillotine-Style" breaker bars, the step-deck design ensures stability and reliability while eliminating the need for extra, expensive, and heavy hydraulic lifting units, once again saving you time and money.
• The Glosser precrusher is able to exhibit up to 113,000 lbs. of crushing force, which is the highest in the industry.
• Maximum ram penetration into the receiver is at 44", which is the highest in the industry.
• The Glosser precrusher is the most sturdy and structurally sound precrusher on the market today. The precrusher incorporates structural supports running along the sides, braces that strengthen the top, and that the precrusher sides are made out of 3/8" steel and the floor is 3/4" steel.
