    Hello

    welcome

    I was confused for a bit because when you mentioned recycle oil filters, I took it as remanufacturing aka cleaning out the pleats and using it again haha

    Thank you . lol recycling them that way would be something else lol. Against the law here in this state to put used filters in landfills they have to be drained and crushed .

    Landfill? Does your scrapyard not take them because of the oil? To buy an expensive machine like that you must be getting ahelluva lotta oil filters. Either that or it is extreme overkill for crushing al cans
    Anyway looks like an awesome machine! Have fun with it.

    Welcome to the forum. Interesting area of recycling. I'm in Jacksonville, where about ENC are you?



    By looking at the photo I am assuming you are able to capture the residual oil and sell it. Best of luck. Mike.

    PJ..The yards here will not take them until drained . I get a fair share of them and building up.... I enjoy it Retired here and it passes time.

    Miked.. Dunn area here/ Yes I sell the old oil as well and the filter as scrap, It drains into the bottom to whatever one chooses . Usually about 6 to 10 ounces of oil per filter .
