REVIEW ON DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF CAN CRUSHING MACHINE

The project is about fabrication of mechanical crusher which would help to crush the used juice cans, paint cans and punched sheet metal waste. This paper aims Todesign a crusher that could be installed anywhere and would aid crush of used wastes. This paper involves the process of designing the crusher considering forces required for crushing and ergonomic factor that an operator needs. The design of this machineis such that it would require optimum load to crush metals and will not strain the user or operator. After the completion of design process, it is manufactured and transformed into a machine that would help in waste management. The crushing of used cans will also ensure that the cans are not used beyond -life of the metals. Therefore this paper will prove to be a useful asset in many ways. We have designed the crushing machine. The crusher is designed based in the simple principle or a mechanism which is Crank and Slotted Lever Mechanism where the rotary motion from the motor is converted into reciprocating motion by the crank which is in-turn connected to the piston that crushes materials. The Designed components were then assembled and analyzed using analysis software and the required dimensions of the crusher for performance have been found. These data’s were then transformed into a real time model by manufacturing it the designed crusher was then checked and the crusher effectively crushed all the components with ease and with reduced human effort
