| dc.description.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 | en_US |
