Can Crusher

[hambonedodge34]

I am a can smasher, I love yours, it's captivating. I am a can crushing junkie, I like the sound your machine makes when it crushes the cans, I could watch it all day.

How do you work out the stroke ? What would happen if the link connected to the shaft on the motor was offset ?Id love to hear your comments

[enzt2002]

if he wants he can go 199 x faster

Collect the cans year 'round, crush your cans and save them for recycling for the dead of winter(Late Jan. thru February) when the scrap price doubles your money. BTW, nice job. Later, Rick.

A great contraption. However, with the current price of scrap aluminum, this is a losing propisition. If you add up the cost of material to build, the power consumed per can, you end up with a negative number. I have looked at all the possiblities, and the best return is the manual lever crusher. It crushes to same thickness as yours, uses no power, and cost $18. With the mechanical advantage, it is fairly effortless. But yours is much more fun to watch!

now make a gravity feeder for it XD

[JOECANMAN1]

toooooo slow check out the aluminum can crusher or go to web site by typing in moneybailer at top

@JOECANMAN1 You just make a 30can chute for it, turn it on and go watch a movie.

[dabigjokeoftheday]

COST MORE TO RUN THAN THE RETURN..LOL

[DevinL16]

how come the RAM ARM vibrates? such a powerful motor maybe why?

[mrbluenun]

You have build a simply gorgeous machine. Everything is correct, including the gear ratios and power transfer , and it works! No messing and occasional jam by the look of it anyway!

Very elegant, and relatively small. Is this a commercial machine for sale, because a machine made for others to use rather than the 'inventor', and the one who knows all the quirks of the machine, can often feed and run 'his' machine but, cannot do the same with someone else's machine?

the slower crushers are always cooler.

Hi. Can i get some blueprints from you for the can crusher?

machinest with to much time

[rafarrow]

Put a can of pediasure in there and see what happens. :)
