Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Ship Inn, a bustling harbourside pub in Plymouth, was struggling with piles of empty bottles creating noise and safety hazards behind their already-cramped bar. They needed a solution that was compact, quiet, and efficient.
"Our end-of-night clear-up was a nightmare of clanking bottles and overflowing bins. The Infrico crusher has been brilliant. It’s quiet, fits perfectly under the counter, and has made our closing process so much faster and safer for the team."
Liam O'Connell – General Manager
Since installation, The Old Ship Inn has reduced its glass waste volume by an estimated 80%, freeing up significant space and cutting down nightly clean-up time by over 25 minutes.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit is placed on a firm, level surface to prevent vibration.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the sides and back for proper air circulation.
- Simply plug it into a standard 13 amp socket – no complex wiring needed.
- If using the fixed drain, ensure the outlet pipe is properly connected and has a clear run.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior and interior daily with a damp cloth.
- Regularly check that the crushing mechanism is clear of any debris or labels.
- Schedule a manual defrost according to usage to maintain efficiency.
- Routinely check the drain outlet to ensure it remains clear and free-flowing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many bottles can this machine actually hold?
A: It's designed to hold the crushed glass from approximately 180 standard 20cl bottles, which equals a total volume of 200 litres.
Q: What size bottles can it crush?
A: It's designed for standard beer, cider, and wine bottles. It's not suitable for Champagne or other thick-walled sparkling wine bottles.
Q: Is it noisy to operate?
A: This model is designed for under-bar use and is relatively quiet for a commercial machine, but it will make a crushing sound during operation.
Q: How often do I need to defrost it?
A: As it's a manual defrost unit, the frequency depends on usage and the ambient temperature of your bar. We recommend checking for ice build-up weekly.
Q: What kind of power supply does it need?
A: It runs on a standard UK 13 amp plug, so you can plug it into any regular wall socket.
Q: How do I clean the inside?
A: The stainless steel interior can be easily wiped down with a food-safe cleaner and a damp cloth once the unit is emptied and switched off.
Q: Does the machine separate liquid from the glass?
A: Yes, waste liquid is collected and can be removed via the fixed drain option at the base of the machine.
Q: Can I install this myself?
A: Yes, installation is very straightforward. It's a 'plug-and-play' appliance, but you may need a plumber to connect the fixed drain outlet if you choose to use it.

Explore more from InfricoWhy a Ventilated Condensation System Matters
Ever noticed how a cold drink gets 'sweaty' on a warm day? The same thing happens inside refrigeration equipment. A ventilated condensation system is like giving your machine its own personal fan. It actively blows air over the cooling components to help this moisture evaporate quickly and efficiently. Think of it like a car's radiator fan kicking in on a hot day to stop the engine overheating. In a busy, warm bar, this system prevents moisture build-up, reduces the risk of breakdowns, and ensures your bottle crusher keeps running at peak performance, even when the pressure is on.
