Did finish. In fact took a few small boxes of smashed cans down to the recycler. Guy in front of us had like 80 garbage bags of not-smashed cans, he got $25. I had 4 boxes on the tailgate of my truck got $107 bucks! Cans when not smashed take up CRAZY amounts of room! :)
was wondering if u can make that smash a pile of cans at once so u dont have to spend alot of time doing that :) maybe adding a hopper at the top and making the ramming plate bigger just wonder where u can get the pnuematic piston from.
interested to see part 3 and what valves/ actuators you went with - and did you keep the flow controllers ? dont think its needed ( maybe on return stroke) as it looks like your cylinder has soft stops in it anyway
I couldn't agree with you more.... PILE of work to do something silly like smash a can. BUT, my daughter is in to recycling, I get the idea, but hate the room cans take up. So I had to do something. my little contribution to help "save the environment". and I get to do it by "SMASHING STUFF"... that's a win, :)
Where is / 3 I'd like to see how you put on the car and be able to take it to family functions how much does the compressor actually gets used so you don't burn it up
How is it you have over 15k views on your can crusher and I only have 300? , even though my can crusher was really built from "scatch" cylinder in all and has a auto eject? but in the end I still like a flat can.
That's a nice digital caliper you have, the can crusher works great nice build !!

OK It has been over 2 years and still no PART 3???

I'd be afraid to... and excited to try all at the same time. :)
I'm still waiting for pt 3 too! Got a Norgren 400kg cylinder in the frame but need control valves. Coke cans don't like a 400kg press lol.
You should try to crush an empty food metal can to see if it works
Still looking forward to part 3, Did you ever get it finished?

I would like to suggest that you add a cover with an interlock or set up a two handed valve system to keep your fingers from being crushed.
How long the rod should be? I see many sizes beyond 12" long
Having done it now, I'd get whatever is about 1" longer than your favorite can! :)
Put a full can of something in it just for something cool to do. lol. Waiting for part 3
@suzukiman650, I was thinking a feeder of some kind. Keep an eye out for video 3.
Each one 0.05 cents $
How much energy you need for each one ?
so where will you get air at a picnic
What is the song in beginning ?
When is pt 3 coming?
I should get around to it. Still on the counter, but now easy to use. :)
where Do they sell?
I built one of these, but don't know what kind of switch is needed to run it. Do you know?
Thanks
there are several bimba cc on here one says festo valve the other says parker a part number would be nice

@phill903, thanks man, LONG way to go. Those were just tests. I think it's gonna end up on a cart (so it's portable) with 150psi on it. ;)
Hi and congratulation for your invention.
Do you think is it possible to crush a pet bottle in the same way? (with a longer stroke of course)
ARE YOU TAKING ORDERS YET ? I THINK IM READY FOR ONE :)
Looks great, which Air Cylinder is that?
Oh no......where's part 3?

Where's part 3?
as long as you have an air source, you should be able to take it anywhere you like. :)

how long is the angle iron
What is tha power of this cylinder
More pounds per square inch equal a can that's more 'smashed', and THAT is more fun!!!! :)
All these can crushers on RUclips. Why doesn't someone adapt a log splitter to crush cans. It would smash them like a coin.
Try it with a full can. I bet that would look cool
Yea, I'll do that in one of the next videos. That piece can be confusing for sure. especially if you're just learning pneumatics. :)
Very cool! I think you should put a full can of coke thru it... from a distance with safety goggles and stuff on for sure! :)
how can we make that machine???
Air ! , the only way to go
That is awesome!
You need some kind of safety controls on that can crusher.
if u make one u should install safety devices. till then happy whatever.
3rd video set I've watched from you where there's no video 3 as promised...

I don't always get butthurt, but when I do, it's because I'm not getting enough attention. Lol
D = 4 R=2 A= nr^2 A * Psi = Force 2*2=4; 4*(22/7)=~12; 12*100psi = 1440 lbs that would flatten about any type of can from soda to soup can!
Wicked!. Just watch your fingers!
why dont u use single acting cylinder. that is much easier because it can detract automatically
I can see that at a family outing and a few flat fingers lol
Daniel Green
dude weld a box on your log spliter and crush them a bag at a time
that does'nt sound fun at all. you missed the fun part of it. why not just bring them to the recycle center then eh??
donde la venden
I really dont know whats the point of this project.Pffffffffffff ALL THIS FOR ONLY TO CRUSH A CAN.Brilliant,
Looks too short for cans from Monster and Arizona Ice Tea.
YEA BUDDY!!! :)
bill hilly can crusher :D
you know, it might not. I think it's only generating 500 pounds of force, might not do it. :)
LOL, kinda true if you think about it. haha! :) maybe we're all just really, really bored! ;)
молодец!

If you need a machine to crush cans, you're a girl!
Dan O'Brien
It's called using your mind to create something. I'm guessing you're not able to do that.
Clearly you're missing the point here.
lmao
+Dan O'Brien
lmao2
If you watch videos of people doing stuff you can't do. You need to get a life and stop making dumb remarks...
I got about 2000 lbs to crush so yea machine it is, unless you want to come over and crush them for me captain badass lmfao
N
Where is part 3?
WHERE IS PART THREE????
