The main aim of this project is to make such a mechanical oriented project which reduces the scrap volume and further use it for recycle purpose properly.

1. OBJECTIVE
This project is about designing
and fabricating of Recycle Bin tin
can crusher to help people easy
to crush tin and bring anywhere.
The main aim of this project is
to make such a mechanical
oriented project which reduces
the scrap volume and further use
it for recycle purpose properly.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Aluminium recycling is one of the easiest things you can do to
help the environment. Recycling of can began a long ago and
started to become common place back in early 1970’s.
You might be surprised to know that within 60 days an
aluminium can is able to go from your recycling centre and
becomes a brand new can to be used by consumer .

3. WORKING PRINCIPLE
Based on the single slider crank mechanism,
Here crank shaft is used to convert the rotary
motion to reciprocating motion by using
connecting rod which is continuous to the piston.
It composed of a single slider crank mechanism to
drive a piston forward or reverse backward.
When the piston is move forward a plate which
act as a bore of the piston moves along the piston
crushes the can.
By the reciprocating movement of the piston, can
is crushed easily by the mechanism.

5. METHODOLOGY
IN designing and fabricating this tin
can crusher, a flow of methods had to
be
used the design and crusher the tin.
First of all, a process planning had to
be charted out.
This acts as a guideline to be followed
so that, the final model meets the
requirement and time could be
managed
Methodology of the can crusher can
be easily understood by the flow chat
as follows-

6. EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Can crusher crush large number of cans very
easily.
We got a flat shaped beverage can which its
length reduced from 150mm to 30mm.
By reducing size huge amount of cans can be
transported for recycling.

7. APPLICATION
It is used for recycling purpose.
It can be used in the pool parties.
It can be used in the cinemas.
It can be used in industries.

8. INNOVATION
By placing the electric motor instead of
manually operated gives more results.
Hand operated Can crusher Electric motor employed in automatic can crusher
