Herkules AFC2 Aerosol Can Crusher 98% Size Reduction, Air Bag Technology

Herkules AFC2 Crusher for Aerosol Cans — 1-Minute Cycle on Shop Air

Disposal is billed by volume. Every aerosol can you throw away whole is space you are paying a hauler to carry, and it stacks up in a corner of the shop until they come.

The AFC2 crushes them by up to 98%. It runs on shop air — no hydraulics and no oil to leak, and a cycle runs in under a minute.

• Herkules Air Bag Technology — the mechanism doing the work.
• 120 psi standard shop air — standard shop air — nothing special to install.
• Dual door/latch interlock protection — the chamber cannot be opened mid-cycle.

• Integrated fume extractor system — pulls fumes out of the chamber as it works.

What the Reduction Is Worth

Crushing by up to 98% means the same number of aerosol cans leaves your shop in a fraction of the containers. Disposal is priced on volume and on pickups, so that is where the saving shows up.

A cycle runs in under a minute. That is short enough to happen as part of the job rather than piling up for a Friday afternoon.

Each cycle takes 2 aerosol cans.

Air-Operated, Not Hydraulic

It runs on 120 psi standard shop air. There is no hydraulic power unit, no reservoir, and nothing to leak onto a shop floor.

The dual door/latch interlock protection keeps the chamber shut while it is working.

Crushed waste drops into the collection bin ready for scrapping.
