Operations
Description or Purpose | The bottle crusher machine is designed to crush glass bottles generated in pubs, mine sites, marine vessels, restaurants and clubs. The machines are available in two models, the Compact Bar and the SpaceSaver. |
Operating Principles | The operator inserts the bottle into the opening of the machine which is then crushed and the cullet collected into a recepticle. The machines reduce the volume of empty bottles by 80% thus minimizing the number of bins required for disposal and reducing waste to landfill. The bottle crusher machines process up to 3000 bottles per hour and are ideal for premises with large volumes of bottles. The crushed byproduct can be used to manufacture new bottles. |
Additional Information | The machine reduces the amount of glass waste by 80% and the associated costs. The equipment allows recouping of floor space and eliminate external bottle noise from venues Visit our website www.bottlecrusher.com.au |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
