To create a machine that is

helpful to the recycling
community who are able to
save space by crushing cans.

ADVANTAGES

Time saving
Easy
to
aluminium cans

crush

DISADVANTAGES
Bulky and heavy

INTRODUCTION
This idea generated is basically a very
convenient machine for recyclers to
save space storing cans by crushing
them. The mechanism involved in this
machine is the offset crank slider
mechanism where the crank is placed
higher a bit than the piston slider for
rotation. This mechanism is the only
mechanism which enables to convert
rotary motion into horizontal motion
for the piston to move and crush the
can on the ramp.

CONCLUSION

O
BJECTIVES
To
be
creative
and
innovative in designing a
manual
aluminum
can
crusher to crush cans faster
and easier.

This project is a good example

in this aspect which helps
recyclers or any other users to
save time and energy and make
their life easier to do the entire
job. This prototype is a first
stage of the design so further
improvements can be made to
come up with more good
features in it.

IMPROVEMENTS

 Can feeder can be upgraded

so more cans can be stored
for crushing.
Improvise the mechanism so
more than one can can be
crushed at a time.

Usage
of
different
mechanisms
such
as
pneumatic or lever system to
crush cans.
