About Balcan Bottle & Vial Crushers

Since the 80’s Balcan has developed a range of vial crushers specifically designed for their purpose.  In designing these machines, Balcan took into account the problems associated by the varieties of the liquid contents and the risks which can so easily occur with excessive aerosols being generated at fast operating speeds.

The problems of disposing vials are not only the volume they fill in waste containers, but often the way in which their liquid contents can require them to be disposed of more expensively than if they were empty, e.g. radioactive cocktails, toxic or volatile liquids.  Needless expense is also incurred because more often than not the amount of liquid in the container is very much less than its actual capacity.

Often the liquid contents are so hazardous they cause headaches, sickness or both and are recognised to have long term health implications.  You have only to read the labels on the bottles!

In a world where health and safety is always at the forefront using a Balcan Vial Crusher overcomes many of the risks associated with manual emptying.

Balcan has always favoured manually or pneumatically operated systems. This, together with fabrication throughout in stainless steel, reduces risks of sparks and other hazards associated with electric operation.

These methods of operation combined with the unique designs of the crushing mechanisms ensure the minimum generation of aerosols and that the machines do not become clogged by the variety of metal, plastic or rubber closures fitted on containers.

However, we listened to what high volume producers need and now incorporate a high capacity unit in our range, supplied with spark proof motors.
