INTRODUTION
The main purpose of this project is to understand the
fundamental, knowledge of design and mechanism by
using gear system and a simple mechanism.
This project contains of designing and fabrication of can
crusher machine.
This design required little forces to crush the aluminum
cans.
3
WHAT IS CAN CRUSHER
• A can crusher is a device used for crushing
aluminum soda, soft drinks and beer cans for
easier storage in recycling bins.
4
OBJECTIVES
• To design and fabricate the can crusher that
required low force
• to crush the cans.
• To design and fabricate the can crusher that can
crush a can at
• a time a.
• To design and fabricate the can crusher that has
storage to
• locate the can after crush.
5
MARKET SURVEY
• During the market survey, I found that there
are various types of can crushers available in
the market such as hand operated can
crusher, foot operated can crusher,
pneumatic, hydraulic and electric can crusher.
But out of these can crushers hand operated
and foot operated can crusher are mostly
used due to there less cost and less effort for
operating.

KEY FEATURES OF DESIGN
Design plays an important role for the producing a good product. Design
gives the all information about the product.
• The can crusher takes less effort of the worker.
• High leverage design makes easy recycling.
• It is effective in colour.
• Cushion grip handle are used for soft gripping.
• It reduces the can size up to 85-90%.
• It is simple and safe to operate.
• The weight of the can crusher is less as possible.
• It is portable and easy to handle.
• It crushes cans in a less time or less effort.
• It crushes all sizes cans.

MATERIAL
Choosing of material is big challenge for good product. A
material decides the market value of product as well as
durability of product, cast iron or steel is used in can crusher
because of easy to available in market and low cost.
8
Cast iron
. The carbon content in cast iron is 3% to 4.5% by weight. Silicon
and small amounts of Manganese, Sulfur, and Phosphorus are
also present in it.
Properties of Cast iron are
High Compressive Strength.
Low Melting Point.
Resistance to Deformation.
Resistance to Oxidation.
9
Steel
• Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon and other
elements.
• Properties of steel
• Yield strength(S275).
• High tensile strength.
• Weldability.
• Durability.
• Low cost.
