Herkules OFC4 – Heavy Duty 17.5 Ton Multiple Oil Filter Crusher

The Herkules OFC4 is an industrial-strength workhorse designed for high-volume automotive and heavy-duty service centers. Powered by Herkules' proprietary Air-Bag technology, this environmentally friendly crusher provides a virtually maintenance-free and highly durable solution for waste management. With a massive 17.5 tons of crushing force, the OFC4 reduces an oil filter's physical size by up to 80%, significantly lowering your hazardous waste disposal costs and reclaiming valuable shop space.

Whether you are processing standard passenger vehicle filters or oversized heavy-duty filters, the OFC4 delivers exceptional performance. It can crush up to four regular-sized filters simultaneously or a single tall filter (up to 20 inches) in a rapid cycle time of just 35–55 seconds.

Efficient Oil Recovery & Safety

Beyond just crushing, the OFC4 is engineered to maximize oil recovery, removing up to 98% of residual oil from used filters. The extracted oil is funneled through a dedicated drainage outlet, allowing for easy collection and recycling. For operator protection, the unit is equipped with a dual door/latch interlock safety system that prevents the crusher from operating unless the door is securely closed. This 100% air-operated system provides a safe, spark-free environment for handling flammable residues.

Industrial-Grade American Durability

Proudly made in the USA, the Herkules OFC4 is constructed from high-strength American steel to withstand decades of heavy industrial use. The air-bag power source is inherently more reliable than hydraulic cylinders, as it has no seals to leak and no complex moving parts to fail. By utilizing standard 120 psi shop air, the OFC4 offers a powerful, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance alternative to traditional hydraulic crushers.
