Very nice can crusher , BUT , For safety's sake , He should have installed two buttons spaced at least 12 inches apart so your hands are out of there because it would require two hands to activate it, Making it much more safe , The same way as a stamping press , It has the two hand button operation so you cannot activate it without both hands on the buttons So if you want to build a can crusher with a pneumatic cylinder , For safety's sake I very strongly recommend that you install two buttons spaced 12 inches apart because the cylinder in the video , For it's size puts out alot of force which can crush your fingers ALWAYS PUT SAFETY FIRST !!!
great job, well done I'm trying to build this, and I purchased almost everything and I'm just wondering if you could put a link for the air compressor because the one that I found is too noisy
Do you need an air compressor? I'm doing this for a school project and was wondering. If so, do you know where to get one for cheap? Or should I just rent one?
Hello sir, may i know how many pressure you used to crash the can? i hope u can reply my comment since im currently doing project related to can crushing.
Hi I hope you are doing well. I have a question about pneumatic press. I purchased a 1 Mega Pa pneumatic jack and i am giving pressure equals to 7 bar, but this pneumatic cylinder can not even compress a plastic bottle. So Sir, kindly suggest me what should i do to overcome this problem. Thanks in advance.
Нужно добавить устройство автоподачи банок. Засыпаешь банки в емкость, а они оттуда по желобу скатываются прямо в пресс, и сделать так чтобы поршень ходил туда-сюда непрерывно)
@@PolarisJD -- I was thinking the same thing, some kind of auto feed,, it would not take much if you added another cylinder and made it operate in reverse it would not need to be a strong cylinder as you could use just a flat plate to hold back the reserve cans. BUT,, this is great and like the video, no awful music, just great video..
It’s not a solenoid, it’s an air valve (the system is Pneumatic (air) operated). When the valve is activated air is added behind the ram, when released air is sent to the front of the ram (resetting the action). You’ll need to ensure the “length of travel” of the piston is sufficient to crush cans in your country. You also need to ensure “length of travel” does not exceed the “crushed” size of the can. You’ll also need to ensure the force applied (PSI/Bar) is sufficient to crush the can (although the structure of can can be compromised by applying a force to the side of the can (crushing it slightly). It would easy to apply a side (weakening) force to the can. This makes it a two stage process.
We built one of these at work before from spare parts around the shop....due to OSHA REGULATION....its wasn't safe to have it at work....had to have guards made...E-stop system in place...train people how to use it ...ETC...🤣🤣🤣 Insurance liability.....yikes
If your piston has two places to attach an airhose (double acting) get a 5 way. If your piston has one place to attach an airhose (single acting) get a 3 way.
The "puck" or "crushing piston" is the only part that I did not purchase. One of my good friends is a machinist, and he made the crushing puck out of a billet chunk of aluminum. You could make one by cutting a circle out of a piece of plate steel and welding a nut to it (make sure nut is the same thread pitch as your pneumatic cylinder rod).
What he is doing is dangerous , Putting the can in the crusher with one hand while the other hand is on the button which you can very easily activate the crusher before you get your fingers out of the way causing a bad injury That's why I strongly recommend installing two buttons spaced 12 inches apart so your hands are always out of there when it is activated because it would require two hands to activate it , Just the same way as a stamping press , Yes , Building something like this is a fun project but don't forget about designing safety into it which is the most important thing of all
That's like saying a scissors or pocket knife is dangerous. If you're stupid enough to press the spring loaded button while your fingers are in there, you deserve to get them smashed.
such a cool machine, too bad that you get money back for returning empty cans in my country. melting them down would be fun but you’d get more money by returning the cans and buying aluminum
I think , it’s the best can crusher in RUclips .
Because it’s simply and more power
О ЧУДО инжинерной мысли!!!! Гениальное Творение гуру сминателей банок!!! Преклоняюсь перед полетом твоей творческой мысли, абырвалг!!!

Can you put a full can in it please?
when you drink too much soda and pop and don't know how to hide the evidence from your parents 👌
Need to make the cylinder length longer and a bigger stand for larger cans. Cool though!
Where is the end of the stroke? Is this as small of a puck it can make>?
Do you have the plans to construct it?
great job, well done
I'm trying to build this, and I purchased almost everything and I'm just wondering if you could put a link for the air compressor because the one that I found is too noisy
you can use an air exause muffler to quet air cylanders down.
Do you need an air compressor? I'm doing this for a school project and was wondering. If so, do you know where to get one for cheap? Or should I just rent one?
Too much fun, quick i need more cans
You should automate this if possible. (ie, giving it a queue, and some kind of controller for it)
Great project, if I need to apply a number of pounds of pressure and hold it down, what do I need?
Hello can i know how much pressure need to be press?
Minimum 4 kg/cm^2 maximum 10 kg/ cm^2
How did you make the metal container for cans to sit in?
@PolarisJD Is there any way to order the puck and the part that holds the can from you?
May I know what equipment that you use to make this item?
Yes
You need a feeder. So like a magazine to fill them in. So you can go fast and much safer!
Should be easy to build aswell.
Hi I'm new to pneumatic. Could you tell why you inject air on both top and bottom of the cylinder? I thought it's only on the bottom
Thanks a lot Bob for the answer
Haha. My dad made one in about 84. Used a drive line for the cylinder and can shoot and air blowers for the valves.
Hi whats the minimum requirements to crush a can? ie air pressure cylinder dia. and air pipe diameter, cheers
Thats flippin Awesome!
I don’t know why this made me satisfactory. Awesome work man...
Hello sir, may i know how many pressure you used to crash the can? i hope u can reply my comment since im currently doing project related to can crushing.
This is secret project
5 bar should be good enough
Damn dude. And I've been stomping on cans for years... 😊
Pneumatics is very intriguing
hey, do you use an air tank or a compressor connected to the valve?
Probably a compressor regulated to about 70psi. That's a big cylinder. Lots of volume. It probably chews though air.
How much pressure does this require?
O que gasta de energia pra carregar o compressor não compensa eu acho?

may i ask how much psi is needed for the piston to do the job?
Works best at 100-120 psi
Oye bro ponle un silenciador a las salidas de aire 👍👍 me gustó mucho tu invento
What PSI is your system running at?
What is the pressure of actuator (cylinder) ?
Нужно добавить устройство автоподачи банок. Засыпаешь банки в емкость, а они оттуда по желобу скатываются прямо в пресс, и сделать так чтобы поршень ходил туда-сюда непрерывно)
Is this available in the phillipines?
Is that a 2 inch bore by 6 inch stroke?
Na minha opinião teria que ter um acionamento duplo no botão, para maior segurança!
Where I can purchase this machine not part
больно будет, если руку придавит?
Where can I buy these
To me it seems a rather big cylinder to do the job. Not it is bad
It would be cool if you made a hopper on top.
not a bad idea I just gotta figure out how it would work so the piston didn't catch on the next can in line.
PolarisJD put another cilinder in the hopper to control the cans
@@PolarisJD -- I was thinking the same thing, some kind of auto feed,, it would not take much if you added another cylinder and made it operate in reverse it would not need to be a strong cylinder as you could use just a flat plate to hold back the reserve cans. BUT,, this is great and like the video, no awful music, just great video..
Well if you had a hopper you can load it then use your free hand to regulate the flow.
Use the orignal cylinder on stroke to push a lever to bump a can out to be crushed.
Which type of solenoid valve you used in this?, Please tell I wanted to use that type of valve in my project
It’s not a solenoid, it’s an air valve (the system is Pneumatic (air) operated). When the valve is activated air is added behind the ram, when released air is sent to the front of the ram (resetting the action).

Can you tell me if you need a 5 way valve or can just use a 3 way? I like how quick yours is. I'm working on figuring out the parts I need.
Adam Rouse I used a 2 position, 5 way valve. Not sure if you could get by with a 3 way or not.
PolarisJD , the other two ports are just for mufflers correct? Unless you wanted something else hooked up I believe.
He has a double acting piston. If you use a single acting piston the 3 way will work. The single acting uses a spring to retract the piston.
Jah Lar . Ok so I should get a 5 way then? I already have the cylinder figured out. I'm going with a 2 1/2" by 8"
If your piston has two places to attach an airhose (double acting) get a 5 way. If your piston has one place to attach an airhose (single acting) get a 3 way.
So how many cans recycled will it take to pay for this ( labor time-parts) ?
mark peters ALOT! haha, however many it takes to get $90
1,800 cans, if you get 5 cents a can
Please email the specific parts list?
This is like ASMR for recycling.
Halo kak. Beli katubnya dmna ya
I’d want to drink more beer, just so I could crush the cans!!
How much air pressure and cylinder parameters
Can I use that to crush rat using c02 bottle small ones
Ahora sólo hay que buscar botes para que desquite el costó de la máquina
Do u live in a state where u can't recycle those for 10 cents a piece?
What size of air compressor needed?
What’s the thread size of the nut on the air cylinder
Where can I get the puck from

F*in awesome!! Almost 1M likes too bad ass man bad ass!!
Coloca o acionamento no pé, que melhora sua produção
Mucho gasto de energia para algo tan sencillo...como experimento esta excelente.
love your video how much is the air cylinder and where did you get it
Link in the description. I ordered mine off of ebay for around $40
Where is the puck from ?
Buen día. Que costo TIENE
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can crusher was like peepsssiiii
& bucket under table like mout dew😝😝😝😝
what fitting did you use for the compressor to connect with the valve?
There is a male nitto fitting screwed into the supply port on the valve so you will need a female nitto coupler to connect to that.
Nice project
How much did u pay for your blocks on ur silverado

Muito legal, mas cuidado não machucar as mãos, sugiro um sensor de segurança óptico ou um sensor capacitivo.
God bless Friend
REAL QUESTION is -- will it work with BEER CANS?
Awesome 👍
This needs to be cnc with a bar feeder

Wait a minute...What???
how many cost for this project
less than 100 dollars if you buy used on ebay
Kahase milega a chiz
la herramienta ideal para un establecimiento publico, así podrán reciclar mas fa sil
Jajajjaja, claro el aluminio esta en 100 mil pesos el kilo, es buen negocio sin duda
Repair karne ka tarika bta do
But how will I get my nickel back?
Compresion speed???
Adjust the speed..by using speed/flow control
Program a PLC use photoeyes and go full auto thats real talent
Dont forget the conveyor system after it's been crushed....into a bucket...weight an packing system etc...🤣🤣🤣
Semplice e funzionante 🧤
invest 10$ on some silencers...
I added them shortly after this video!
Como puedo hacer uno igual cuales son los materiales
Solo necesitas un piston doble efecto como de 2"×4 y una valvula manual 5 vias con conexiones claro si cuentas con linea de aire
oddly satisfying
I knew exactly what i was going to see before i clicked on the video but it's just soooooooo satisfying to watch 😌
and does selling crushed cans covers your electricity bill ?? common man!
Really? People make more off of can recycling than most anything else u can scrap out on a DIY level.
