Volume reduction of

glass bottles by 80 %

A Disperator glass crusher makes light work of handling empty bottles, jars and other glass containers by grinding them to small particles the size of sand. Most kitchens, bars and galleys have problems with the volume of waste.

The glass crusher GKF550 facilitates the heavy handling and collection of empty bottles and other glass containers by grinding them into small particles. Cutting the initial volume by as much as 80% means significant reduction of storage space and fewer collections. Bottles are fed one by one continuously and the grounded particles are collected in a bag or container placed under the crushers outlet.

The 550A-GKF facilitates the heavy handling andcollection of empty bottles and other glass containers

by grinding them into small particles such as graveland sand. Many kitchens, bars and galleys experience

problems with large volumes of empty bottles takingup valuable space and time consuming, expensive

collection. Cutting the initial volume by as much as80% means a significant reduction of storage space

and less frequent collections.The grinding unit is mounted in a stainless steelEN 1.4301 (AISI304) cabinet, complying with the

requirements for hygiene in kitchen areas. The longlife expectancy and operational reliability are due

to the choice of high-quality components: grinderof specially alloyed steel , motor of protection class

IP55, unique and well-proven sealing design betweengrinder and motor to name a few.

The ground particles have no sharp edges and arecollected in a plastic bag in front of the crusher

With a motor power of 1,25kW the machine handles approximately 600-1200 bottles per hour, depending upon size.

under the inlet tube. Bottles are fed one by onecontinuously; any number of bottles can be ground

as long as the collection bag is replaced when filled.With a motor power of 1,25kW the machine handles

approximately 600-1200 bottles per hour, dependingupon size.

An automatic dust collector collects all glass dust thatmay result when grinding.

The 550A-GKF is easy to install and delivered readyfor connection to existing incoming electricity. Itsflexibility also allows for installation on a lower floorlevel, close to the point of waste collection area,and fed with empty bottles by a tube from the bar,

kitchen or galley above.

The machine fulfills all the relevant provisions ofthe Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Low voltage

Directive 2014/35/EU and the EMC Directive2014/30/EU, and is CE-marked accordingly

Collection and transport of waste glass is time consuming because of the large volume. And floor space, which should be put to better use, is occupied with a mountain of empty bottles. These problems are alleviated when a Disperator glass crusher is used.

Model GKF 550 is easy to install in a kitchen, galley or in a garbage room. Alternatively the glass crusher can be installed on a lower floor level, near to the point of waste collection, and fed with empty bottles by a tube from the bar, kitchen or galley above.

After being ground into small grains of glass with no sharp edges, an empty bottle has only 20% of it’s original volume which means less storage space, less frequent collection and lower transport costs.

Disperator glass crusher GKF 550 is designed to give long-life in environments where reliability and efficiency are essential.
