Can Crushers are used for crushing empty, full, half-full, line rejects, or off date products aluminum or steel cans for easier recycling. A can crusher can save you a significant amount of time and space. Using a can crusher to reduce the capacity of waste materials means cutting the expense of waste transport. After this unit arrives please check all nuts, bolts, and other fasteners and tighten or adjust, as necessary.
Please check. The incline auger conveyor has a perforated housing to allow liquid to drain prior to moving. These drain holes will need to be periodically cleaned to prevent clogging. The HV Perforator System is supplied with an automatic wash-down valve system. This system is controlled electronically by the Main Control Panel to operate periodically while the system is in operation.
The automatic wash-down system has an adjustable run timer that controls the length of time the rinse cycle runs after the machine shuts down. Watch for any material wrapped on the head or tail shafts and pulleys — remove it immediately! Do not over grease. Debris on the underside of the belt will cause premature wear on both the conveyor belt and the head and tail pulleys.
Watch for any material wrapped on the head or tail shafts and pulleys — remove it immediately!! Remove it immediately! Model HV Perf: For maximum life and performance, the machine should be maintained regularly. Watch for any material wrapped on the head or tail shafts and pulleys as well as crusher drum shafts — remove it immediately! The design of this unit has the reputation for dependability and low maintenance. Rugged steel construction makes the CC Series the one to use for long-term productivity.
Load cans into the hopper and the conveyor carries the cans across the magnetic head pulley separating the steel and aluminum. The aluminum cans are crushed between a steel pressure plate and a rotating crusher drum with hardened steel bars, the cans then drop into a high-velocity air stream and are blown into a trailer or storage container. A high-performance blower allows accurate and complete delivery of cans. An electrical safety interlock on the crusher access door and a main electrical disconnect protects the operator and the machine.
The EXT is a complete separator, crusher, and blower unit capable of processing up to 3, pounds of cans per hour! Put the new EXT to work for you today and see how efficient your operation can become. Rugged steel construction makes the PRC Series the one to use for long-term productivity. These can crushers have a collection tray on top of the crusher, where you can place multiple cans from 4 up to 10 depending on type of the semi-automatic crusher.
When all cans have been placed into the tray, you can start compressing them one by one. Compression process is similar to single can crusher, difference is that you do not have to put cans one by one into the crusher, but they drop in automatically from the tray, when you pull the leveler. Some aluminum can crushers come with a collection bin incorporated at the bottom of the crusher. This collection bin collects all cans that you compress, so you do not have to take out each can after compression and put it into a garbage bag.
Can collection bin makes can crushing process a little faster. Also, sometimes we forget to fully empty our soda or beer cans and some liquid is still located inside a can. When can gets crushed, this liquid leaks out of the can, which makes all process messier, and most of the time we do not want to touch the can with our hands. This is where can collection bins come in handy.
That empty can gets disposed into collection bin immediately after it is compressed and you do not have to touch it with your hands. When collection bin is full with cans, just take it out, drop all cans in a garbage bag, take them to a recycling point and collect money for recycling aluminum, easy, clean and fast way to get rid of empty cans.
Interested in green lifestyle, blogging and sports. Always searching for ways to improve myself and the environment around me. Editor for dorecycling. Hello Jeremy. I am writing to you from Botswana in Southern Africa.
I am interested in building some portable can crushers. This interest is prompted by the sad reality that a lot of our people do not have jobs and most people, especially the elderly women, are seen around collecting aluminium cans for resale.
These are rather too bulky to carry and I wonder if you could provide me with plans to build portable can crushers for them. I will remain grateful for your advise and assistance. You can find it here. Check out Wikipedia , they have pretty good information on how industrial crushers work.

When we first set up the Multi Crush, we were concerned that the lack of a grip would cause problems from an ergonomic perspective.
The first problem we noticed was that the paint chipped off fairly easily. Just during our testing period alone, we noticed that several areas were already losing some of the white paint, particularly in the areas that moved while we were crushing cans.
While chipping paint is primarily a problem of aesthetics, there is reason for concern if you have pets or young children who might accidentally eat paint from the floor. Keep this in mind before choosing this particular can crusher.
Another potential downside is the fact that the Multi Crush is only designed to work with the standard ounce cans. While we were able to squeeze a ounce can into the Multi Crush, it is not designed for that purpose. One minor problem we had during testing was that cans would occasionally slip out of the sides.
This was only really a problem when the can crusher was empty, and even then it only happened a couple of times. It is easy to use, the six-can storage capability is convenient, and you can quickly crush lots of ounce aluminum cans. If you are looking to crush ounce aluminum cans, this is the can crusher for you.
This is one of the most popular can crushers on the Internet, which is evident if you happen to check out Amazon reviews or recycling forum threads where can crushers are discussed. The MasterCrush is a well-built piece of equipment, in large part due to its powder-coated steel framework.
Based on our testing, the MasterCrush shows essentially zero wear and tear, and we expect that it should easily last for years under typical conditions in a residential — and perhaps even commercial — setting. The MasterCrush is also the only can crusher we tested which can crush aluminum cans up to 32 ounces. Priced a bit higher than our other top picks, the MasterCrush compresses cans up to 32 ounces. It's built tough for long-term durability. The MasterCrush also lived up to its name, crushing ounce cans to an average of 2.
Despite the positive attributes just described, we were somewhat disappointed with the operation of the MasterCrush. One metric that illustrated this was that we were only able to average eight crushed cans per minute. That said, despite the flaws in the MasterCrush, if you are looking for a can crusher that can reliably crush cans as big as 32 ounces, the MasterCrush is a worthwhile investment.
The Crusher by Pacific Precision Metals is a sturdy can crusher with a comfortable rubber grip. During our testing, this can crusher was able to crush cans to an average of 8. The most distinguishing feature of The Crusher is the fact that it is the only can crusher we tested, other than the MasterCrush, that is rated to crush ounce cans. If you are looking for a can crusher that can handle ounce cans, and want something sturdier and less expensive than the Multi Crush, The Crusher is worth consideration.
We tested both the Kitchen Craft Can Crusher and the Can Pactor , because we found several sources during our research that spoke highly of them. However, during our testing we found both underwhelming and difficult to use. Unless you have a specific reason for buying one, we strongly recommend steering clear and sticking with one of our other finalists. While conducting our research on can crushers, we found that there was a notable lack of high-quality articles and reviews on this particular product category.
In addition to reading through many of the articles, reviews, forum threads and subreddits we could find on the subject, we conducted testing on six can crushers that we determined were the best on the market. Before we could begin testing, we needed to source around 1, uncrushed cans. To find all of those cans, we used a couple different methods: The first was to buy lots of soda for our office, which we drank over the course of about a month. The other method was to go to recycling centers and ask people if they would be willing to sell their uncrushed soda cans to us.
While we did get more than a few sideways glances, ultimately we were able to get the cans we needed. In order to narrow down our list of can crushers to test, we first searched for expert articles written on the subject. When researching can crushers, we were able to determine that there are several key characteristics that most people want in a can crusher.
These characteristics include:. Once we had our list narrowed down to the following six, we put each of them through a series of tests designed to measure each against one another and determine a winner.
If you buy aluminum cans of soda, beer or other beverages — and keep them icy cold on a hot day in one of our recommended beer koozies — you will benefit from a can crusher. This is particularly the case for anyone who wants to recycle those aluminum cans instead of throwing them away, which, given the immense recyclability of aluminum cans, should be just about everyone.
