    I don't have any plans on how to build this. There is no standard way to build something like this. The parts you use will be different that what I used. Just lay out the parts and build a frame that works for the part you have. The frame has to hold everything and so that is what you will have to figure out using the parts that you are using.

    That dual-stroke action is ingenious. I'm not sure if dual-stroke would work for my needs and relatively small machine size requirements, but that was a very good idea.
    At this point, my ideas involve using scraps of cut-up bedframe as angle iron (cheap and good enough for the task) and 3D printing the upper and lower jaws of the crusher in PLA plastic (don't laugh, a $200 Chinese 3D printer printed the jaws of my manual can crusher and they have crushed many thousands of cans). I'm considering a stepper motor or an automotive motor like a power window motor driving a pair of jackscrews through 3D printed gears. Pneumatics have a speed advantage, but then I have the noise of running my air compressor. Hydraulics would be awesome but are messy and heavy overkill for aluminum beverage cans... though it would be fun to cash them in almost as flat as oversized coins. Like another RUclipsr said about his can crusher, if it's faster than he can drink his beer, it's fine.
    Around here, we have 710/740mL quart beer cans which are about 8" tall, 473/500mL pint cans which are just under 6.5" tall, and a "standard" can at 355mL whose height is unknown because no one buys them! They're all redeemable for a dime per can, so my machine must just seamlessly accept each and preferably compact it as much as possible - the 355mL cans should come out smaller than the quart cans. I'm thinking of detecting the motor current to identify a stall condition (can is as flat as possible or the machine is jammed) and use it to automatically reverse and return the platen to its home "insert next victim" position.
    Beautiful machine. You got me thinking. Thank you.

    I’m looking at different models. If you figure out the auto feeder, this will be the best (practical) one I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing.

    • @EL34XYZ
      @EL34XYZ  Год назад

      I will not be doing an auto feeder. Because the cans bounce and then some stand up is one reason. Another reason is it takes longer to load a feeder than it does to drop the cans into the crusher.

    very nice design, great workmanship. looks like you have a very reliable design. I love the fact that you recycled the deck from the treadmill. In looking at your design it might be safer to raise the top area of the box to clear the piston enough so that if a finger ever did get caught it would have ample room to not grab you. You have about 1/2 the space now. it is always best to design in safety whenever possible.

    • @EL34XYZ
      @EL34XYZ  8 лет назад

      Thanks, the problem with that is that the cans wiggle around when being dropped into the channel and they will wedge up above the piston. I just keep my hands clear of the loading bay

    I like it. Wanted to see the crushed can (end result). Also for me the ideal crushed can is paper flat. I know not possible, but the flatter the better in my book. I knew people that made can crushers from cammo poles (polls used to hold up military camouflage) and the end result was very impressive. A very thin cylinder are aluminum.

    • @EL34XYZ
      @EL34XYZ  8 лет назад +1

      Hi William Hayden. The final crushed cans are about 1/2 to 3/4 inch tall when crushed. It would take a bunch more power to crush them any flatter.

    • @EL34XYZ
      @EL34XYZ  8 лет назад

      Thanks, yeah this is complicated for sure. The whole problem is that you need to reduce the rpms of the motor way down and increase the crushing power without stalling the motor. Hence, all the gear reduction stuff I had to do

    • @lmdetect
      @lmdetect 8 лет назад +1

      Yeah, I'm thinking of going pneumatic. Not sure where to get the parts, but I like that they can be used in a small area, and they're fairly quick. I don't think that your speed is bad at all. If you get that feeder figured out, and are able to get a dozen or so cans in at once that would be great. It won't make your machine faster, of course, but it will make it safer to operate.

    • @EL34XYZ
      @EL34XYZ  8 лет назад

      I have the motor turned down to half speed with an electronic motor pulse circuit. That motor is geared way down and it still could be geared lower. A gearbox of some kind would be nice but I was trying to do this as cheap as possible and the bike gears were dirt cheap on ebay

      The treadmill motor with the heavy flywheel and being able to gear it down is the secret to getting powerful crushes. I wish I could gear mine down even farther. You want the flywheel to spin as fast as you can to get the big crushing power. Slowing the motor down is not the same thing

    I think it would be possible to have a set of ramps to lift the cans back up after one is fed in. So one would drop in the second would be on top of it. when the piston starts crushing the ramp on top of the piston would slid the empty can sack back up.

      OK, no problème! , même si tu as un plan(ou schéma) de ta machine, je comprend que tu veuille le garder pour toi. C'est une très bonne invention, de fait, je peux comprendre que tu ne souhaite pas divulguer les détails.
      Si je t'ai demandé ça, c'est par-ce que j'ai de grosses quantités de canettes... à écraser, donc: besoin de minimiser la place pour leurs stockages et pour gagner temps pour les compacter.
      C'est pas un plan détaillé dont j'aurais besoin, des photos me permettraient de me donner une idée sur l'apparence et les composants dont j'aurais besoin.
      Je suis entrain de créer un compacteur de canettes(maison), c'est n'est pas pour copier mais, pour voir comment je pourrais mixer ta machine et d'autres pour construire la mienne. bye

    You may want to remove the top part of the can crusher before you loose a finger. If necessary you could replace it with a piece of soft material ( rubber inner tube, cloth ,
    ...) just enough to guide the can when needed but not strong enough not to harm a finger. Otherwise great work.

    • @EL34XYZ
      @EL34XYZ  6 лет назад

      Not a problem so far. I have crushed about 100 pounds of cans with it. There's no removing anything. That box is epoxied together to make it super solid and strong

      @@EL34XYZ Don't misunderstand me. I was just joking. I have enough trouble just squashing my cans with my feet from our family, and after I showed videos like yours to my grandson, he hammered one of the cans paper thin with a mallet, and I was amazed at how flat it was. But it's probably the limits of my shop ability to invent a can crushing machine, although I have seen some beauties on RUclips. I like your machine and admire your creative ability.

      @EL34XYZ  3 года назад

      Wrong. The can bounce all directions as they are being crushed.
      Also, there is so much force on the structure, it needs to be a solid box, not a U shaped channel
