Herkules HCR3 Bench Crusher for Paint Cans — 20-Second Cycle on Shop Air

Disposal is billed by volume. Every paint 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 HCR3 crushes them by up to 90%. It runs on shop air — no hydraulics and no oil to leak, and a cycle takes 20 seconds.

Why Choose the Herkules HCR3

Up to 90% smaller on standard shop air, with no hydraulics to maintain.

  • Up to 90% smaller — the same waste leaves in a fraction of the space.
  • One gallon can or multiple quart cans in a single cycle.
  • 20 seconds a cycle, so it keeps up with a working bay.
  • Runs on 90-120 psi standard shop air — no hydraulic power unit to install.

Made For

Built for shops paying to dispose of paint cans by the drum.

  • Collision and paint shops
  • Quick-lube and oil change operations
  • Fleet maintenance shops
  • Dealership service departments
  • Municipal and industrial maintenance facilities

Features

  • Up to 90% waste reduction — the reduction you actually get, which is what the disposal bill follows.
  • One gallon can or multiple quart cans — how much goes in at once.
  • 20 seconds a cycle — fast enough that nobody puts it off until the end of the day.
  • 90-120 psi standard shop air — standard shop air — nothing special to install.
  • Bench mountable to any work surface — it takes almost no floor space.
  • Made in the USA — built in an American plant.

What the Reduction Is Worth

Crushing by up to 90% means the same number of paint 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 takes 20 seconds. That is short enough to happen as part of the job rather than piling up for a Friday afternoon.

Each cycle takes One gallon can or multiple quart cans.

Air-Operated, Not Hydraulic

It runs on 90-120 psi standard shop air. There is no hydraulic power unit, no reservoir, and nothing to leak onto a shop floor.

The chamber stays shut while it is working.

Crushed waste drops into the collection bin ready for scrapping.

The Right Crusher for Your Shop

If paint can disposal is a running cost in your shop, the HCR3 is the machine that shrinks it.
