A Prototype Design of Mechanically Operated Double Barrel Can Crusher

The objective of this study is to design a mechanically operated double barrel can Crusher for the purpose of innovating the previous project study which is the pneumatic can presser with the use of the principle of machine design and machine shop practices instead of using the principle of pneumatics. The study also wanted to determine the advantages and disadvantages of using the mechanically operated double barrel can crusher. Covered in the study are the design fabrication and testing of the prototype. Its main role is for recycling purposes, the function of our project study is to lessen environmental waste products as well as the area reduction of the aluminum cans in the landfills. The study follows a system approach. The findings revealed that the computation of the two piston can actually reduce the length or area of the aluminum can (3/4 of its original length). The dimension and values of different materials such as journal bearing, solid shaft, G.I pipe, PVC pipe, flat bar, angular bar for structural design. By the use of mechanically operated double barrel can crusher we can assure that this project study is a efficient machine, eco-friendly machine obtaining a higher increase of efficiency, less cost of the materials, less time consumed, less harm, less effort for crushing cans than previous project study which is the pneumatic can presser.
