Paddle Powered Can Crusher With Conveyor

Abstract

A can crusher is a device which is used for squashing food and beverage cans, beer cans to save space for recycling. The disposal of the used cans compose a problem because the empty cans occupy space. Also the transport of empty cans become difficult. There is a need to crush these cans So that they occupy smaller space for storage and transport. This will help recycling of the material of the can. It can be placed everywhere in the park, houses. Recycling plays a very important role to save our natural resources. The main aim of this project is to fabricate a Can Crusher machine to reduce the scrap volume and use the Cans so that carrying them to the recycle site becomes easy. Now-a-days, is a large number of cans are used in hotels, bar, canteens etc. and a large volume of space is required for storing or dumping the used Cans. Our task for this project is to design and create a can crusher that will minimize the volume of aluminum cans by 70%. The can crusher will be made up of various parts including a lever, base frame, can bin, piston cylinder arrangement, chain sprocket mechanism and bearing
