Product Overview

Many tins and cans contain hazardous trash such as oil or paint, the removal of which can be very expensive. The Mil-tek A101 Can Crusher will reduce the volume of cans and tins by up to 90%, allowing you to reduce the volume of hazardous trash, the number of lifts required and, most importantly, reduce your costs by up to 80%.

Containing no electrical parts, the small size, heavy-duty Mil-tek A101 Can Crusher is both easy to maintain and easy to clean. It can compress metal, steel, tin, aluminum - almost any form of non-aerosol can up to around 6½ gal. (30 liters) in size.

The Mil-tek A101 Can Crusher is powered by compressed air, either directly from an existing air-line or from a compressor supplied by Mil-tek. This means that the Can Crusher is free of both electrical and hydraulic components, minimizing the risk of fire and completely eliminating the risk of oil contamination.

How it works


Q&A

  • What kind of cans can I put in the A101 Can Crusher?

    All kinds - tins, cans, paint cans, oil drums, all kinds of hazardous and non-hazardous containers except pressurized aerosol cans.

  • Should cans be cleaned before being crushed?

    No, the most important thing is that the cans are empty. However, to maximize the lifespan of your machine, we recommend rinsing cans in cold water before crushing.

  • Should my machine stand indoors or out?

    The machine can stand either indoors or out - most important is that you place the machine so that you sort your trash at its source. If you place the machine outside it must be under a roof. Be aware that cold weather conditions can influence the performance of the machine. Your Mil-tek consultant will help to analyze the best place to install the machine.

  • How much noise does the machine make?

    As they are air-powered (pneumatic) rather than hydraulic, Mil-tek balers are extremely quiet (<70 dB). If you have an existing air-line you simply plug the machine and then your existing compressor acts as the engine. If you need to have a compressor installed, a Mil-tek technician will ensure that the compressor is placed at a distance from the machine and then install an air-hose between the compressor and the machine.
