@@GeneralChangFromDanang like when it goes backwards it crushes another set of cans in another hopper on the other side. I was thinking more along the lines of the hopper is big and round. And you just dump buckets of cans in the top. A door slides open on the bottom and as many as can, fall in. The door closes right before the compartment crushes all that's in there at once. And repeat. Making cubes of crushed can.
@@GeneralChangFromDanang yea we go through a lot of cans so it would be quicker. I was thinking also if I can't get the hydraulics that I could make a smaller manual version.
I just bought a Blaze on Facebook marketplace I pick it up tomorrow (I hope it fits in a hatchback).
With the seats folded down and enough disassembled, you might be ok. It's pretty big.
What materials you used to do for this I'm gonna make something like this for my school project
Get on with it you boring basterd
El diseño podria mejorar mas aun, reemplazando el cilindro neumatico por otro de menor carrera, asi resultaria mayor rendimiento.
Nice set up.. can I ask what is the specific name of the metal support you use for the hopper?
Thanks. It's aluminum extrusion made by Item.
Good engineering but seems slow. I want to build a pneumatic crusher but have it crush multiple cans in one stack
You could make a 2-stage design that crushes a can on extension and retraction.

@@daveed1797 That might require a hydraulic cylinder. There's a video somewhere on here where I guy did that.

No *electric power
No. Just compressed air.
Which was compressed with a non-electric compressor lol
Good job.
I only had to sell 16 tons of cans to pay for this.
Ya I know. I had the parts to build it from a machine I stripped.
Great work on differentiation!
Thanks.
The way this is designed to work is very similar thinking to computer programming logic. Nice job.
Thanks.
Not the fastest thing is it?good job man!
It doesn't look fast until you try to keep the hopper full. I was using it today and had a big pile of cans to crush. Worked up a thirst. Lol.
Do you have plans available for this can crusher? I'm interested in building one for myself.
No, sorry I don't have any plans available. I used a lot of things I had kicking around the shop.
