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 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.
pure genius. I love it. great job! a bit mechanically complex for my abilities but you seem to have mastered the science...looking forward to the feeder solution.
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.
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
That has a really sexy motion. Very nice build I like the duel action. Here in UK that would be great for my garage as we have many different size cans. So 1 side soda cans at 330ml and the other side the longer 440ml and 500ml. Your machine would solve that problem. Beautiful job
It's a cool machine for sure. It was a fun project. Good luck if you decide to build one. The hardest part is getting the gearing really low so you have lots of power. Some sort of gear box would be way better than all the bike gears I used.
That's awesome man! One of the best I've seen on youtube! Get rid of the wood pieces that are on top of the crushing box, or just put a single piece in the center. Would be more open space to insert cans.
Just took one apart...that running board is a MDF board, not sure what that super slick/hard/black sprayed on material is made of. You did a nice job on that crusher! I couldn't use one since I don't buy any can's or rarely ...my drinks are manly made of my fruits..manly apples/grapes and held in kegs or bottles. I'll be using my motor for a belt sander.
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.
If you didn't win any other category, you'd win "coolest crusher". Lol I'm looking to build a crusher, but I'm looking for something more simple, and takes up less space. Nice job!
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
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.
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
This is awesome. I found your video via sons of invention (zappas children?), after scoring a free treadmill with a 3 hp motor and mc2100. I'm going to have to think long and hard on how to make something even half as cool as this.
Thanks but it was all trial and error building. Just lay out the parts and build a frame that works for the part you have. There is no standard way to build something like this. The parts you use will be different that what I used.
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
Very nice!! Have just done your electronic circuit controler and it works! Now learning how to solder. Your motor and all axis are horizontal. What would you use to convert horizontal axis to vertical? The motor seems more stable and easier to hold on horizontal, but I am looking for a vertical rotating axis.
@@nativefish It's pretty clear to see how it works in the video. You need to gear down the treadmill motor quite a bit so you can get the heavy flywheel spinning fast. Bike gears are not the best way to do that and very complicated. But I had no other ideas at the time that were cheaper. Some sort of gear box reduction thing would have been way nicer.
Dude! VERY nice project! I'm looking to use that 2100 motor & control to "fix" a WEN 4212 drill press. It has a NASTY Reeves drive - very noisy and hard to move. The DP does have a digital speed display so hoping I can tie into that as well. Paid a bit more for my TM - but all considered, still a bargain. Nice work - hopefully by now you've got that feeder working...
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.
No not once they are crushed. For the feeder instead of the single can feeding system. let the cans fall on top of eachother and use the pistons motion to separate the can and let it fall on the other side of the piston.
Will not work. The cans change shape as they expand. And then don't crumple up in a nice neat cylinder. A feeding system is also not as fast as me loading them by hand. Been there and tried that
Use a 2inch slope attached to crush block so cans automatically fall into corresponding slot thats open to be crushed .as an auto hopper feeder physics
@@ainguyen7350 I don't have any names. This was all just stuff I already had except fro the big bike chain rings. I got those on Amazon a long time ago.
for a feeder you could make a rectangular box about a foot to 2 feet high and let the cans rest on the piston they should just fall in each time the piston moves forward or backward...right?? or would the can get jammed
+resonant frequency . Thanks but that won't work because the cans tip at an angle as they fall over the edge of the piston. Also, you have to hold back the can right above the one that is next in line. Cans have to drop in the hole one at a time in a completely flat horizontal position. I found it is way faster to just load them by hand.
I can't remember the ratio, but I thought I mentioned the gear sizes in the video? Long time ago, can't remember? Anywho, I do remember thinking I would have liked to go way lower than what I ended up with. I was still having to slow the motor speed way down. Getting that heavy flywheel rotating as fast as you can is the secret to how much power the crusher has.

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.
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.

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

No need for that, they fall out the bottom on each end automatically through a thin slot

ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS MADE ONE, AND HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO I TOLD HIM, BUT THE FIRST ATTEMPT HE MADE AT MAKING ONE, HE FORGOT A KEY STEP TO THE PROCESS AND HE SCREWED IT UP, SO I TOOK OVER AND MADE THE HOPPER FOR HIM THAT MADE IT RUN RIGHT.A SIMPLE TURN.
Thanks, but I can feed them faster by hand. Also, I crush 4 different can sizes. 8 ounce all the way up to 24 ounce.
LOOKS LIKE A EASY WAY TO LOSE SOME FINGERS
This is only for skilled operators :)
so u mean sprockets
Damn dude. Beer much?
Like a machine gun
Thanks
Don’t really need the plywood on the top… Remove it and there’s way less chance of crushing your fingers
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
