Herkules OFC5 – Heavy Duty Locomotive Oil Filter Crusher (30" Max Height)

The Herkules OFC5 is an industrial-grade workhorse designed to handle the toughest waste management tasks in locomotive, maritime, and heavy-duty industrial environments. Engineered for high-capacity performance, the OFC5 delivers nearly 18 tons (36,000 lbs) of crushing force, reducing an oil filter's physical size by up to 80%. This significant reduction in volume not only saves valuable shop space but also drastically reduces waste disposal costs.

Designed to accommodate massive filters, the OFC5 features a 30-inch maximum filter height, making it one of the most capable crushers in its class. Whether you are processing a single oversized locomotive filter or multiple standard filters simultaneously, the OFC5 ensures a clean, efficient, and environmentally responsible disposal process.

Superior Performance & Environmental Compliance

The OFC5 is built to maximize oil recovery, removing up to 98% of residual oil from used filters. Extracted oil is funneled through a dedicated outlet for easy collection and recycling, helping your facility stay compliant with environmental regulations. With a rapid cycle time of just 35–55 seconds, this crusher allows for high-volume processing without slowing down shop operations. Its 100% air-operated design utilizes standard shop air (120 psi), eliminating the need for electrical connections and ensuring safe operation in various workshop conditions.

Industrial Safety & American-Made Durability

Safety is a priority in the OFC5’s design, which features a dual-door/latch interlock safety system that prevents the unit from operating unless the door is securely closed. Proudly made in the USA with high-strength American steel, the OFC5 is built for long-term reliability in demanding industrial settings. Its pneumatic operation requires very little maintenance, providing a cost-effective and dependable solution for heavy-duty filter recycling.
