Product Overview

Vessels and offshore installations that generate significant amounts of glass waste – such as crew mess areas, passenger lounges or catering facilities – can greatly benefit from the integration of a GC100 Glass Crusher. Its compact footprint allows it to fit beneath standard service counters or in tight utility rooms, and its quiet operation ensures it doesn’t disturb surrounding work or accommodation areas.

Purpose-built for environments where space and workflow efficiency are critical, the GC100 is well suited for use on ships, offshore platforms and marine hospitality areas. The machine’s low-noise, compact design enables installation in confined galley spaces, bar stations or service zones without interrupting daily operations.

Glass bottles are fed through the top opening, where they are processed into cullet and collected in an internal container. Capable of handling up to 90 bottles at a time, the GC100 reduces glass volume by approximately 80%, making waste easier to store and handle until it can be offloaded ashore.

Beyond its space-saving benefits, the GC100 also supports smoother crew operations. By reducing the need for manual handling and frequent waste runs, it allows personnel to remain focused on service and essential onboard duties.

Q&A

Can the GC100 handle the motion and vibration of a vessel at sea?
Yes. The machine’s compact, stable design allows it to function reliably even when the vessel is rolling or vibrating. Its internal collection box also prevents loose glass from shifting during movement.

How much does the GC100 reduce glass waste volume?
The GC100 reduces glass volume by approximately 80%, turning bottles into fine cullet. This is a major advantage onboard, where waste storage space is extremely limited.

What types of glass containers can be processed in the GC100?
Most standard glass bottles used in crew messes, passenger areas, bars and hospitality zones can be crushed in the GC100. The unit is designed specifically for beverage glass waste.

Is crushed glass (cullet) easier to store onboard?
Absolutely. Once processed, the cullet is significantly smaller and more compact, making it far easier to store, transfer and offload at port facilities or supply bases.

Glass Crushers in Shipboard Kitchens & Food Preparation Areas

The GC100 Glass Crusher is an excellent waste-handling solution for galleys and food service areas on vessels and offshore installations. Its compact under-counter design allows it to be installed easily in tight kitchen layouts, where space is often limited. With its enclosed crushing chamber and low-noise operation, the GC100 fits naturally into hygiene-sensitive environments without disrupting service or workflow.

Instead of storing or transporting loose, glass bottles containing a lot of air, crew can feed them directly into the GC100. The machine crushes the glass safely inside the machine, keeping shards, fluids and odours contained. The resulting cullet is collected cleanly in an internal box, reducing the overall glass volume by up to 80% and supporting a higher standard of onboard cleanliness and efficiency.

Glass Crushers on Offshore Platforms

Offshore platforms depend on tightly controlled work environments, where safety, space optimisation and clean waste handling are essential for maintaining efficient operations.

The GC100 Glass Crusher is well suited to these conditions, offering a safe and compact solution for managing glass bottles generated in crew mess areas, catering stations and accommodation blocks. With its small under-counter footprint and enclosed crushing system, the GC100 processes glass without introducing additional hazards or requiring large amounts of floor space.

Glass Crushers on Commercial & Leisure Shipping

On both commercial vessels and leisure cruise ships, managing glass waste efficiently is essential for maintaining order and maximising limited storage space. The GC100 Glass Crusher offers a practical onboard solution by reducing glass bottle volume significantly, making waste easier to store and transport.

Its compact under-counter design makes the GC100 suitable for a wide range of hospitality and service areas onboard – whether in crew mess rooms, passenger bars or galley environments. For larger or more complex operations, Mil-tek marine waste specialists can assess the vessel’s needs and recommend the most effective configuration to support safe, space-efficient glass handling.
