Abstracts: A can crusher is basically used to smash empty aluminum cans so as to decrease the volume of waste disposal. You can save a considerable amount of storage space by purchasing a can crusher. Although, there are different styles and sizes available in can crushers, the most preferred one is the pneumatic can crusher. This tool is capable of crushing a can into the smallest possible unit. These devices are commonly seen in bars, restaurants and catering halls. Even heavy drinkers keep this device in their home in order to crush cans. It is simple to operate and ideal to crush cans. Its durability and efficiency makes it suitable for both homes and commercial environment. Even recycling centers have found these devices extremely useful. Most of these devices come with a safety lock that does not allow the user to open the unit when in operation. A drip tray is also attached to these tools to collect any spills from crushed cans. They can be easily mounted on your workbench so as to achieve a comfortable working height. Those on a tight budget and not willing to spend money on this tool, would be glad to know that making an aluminum can crusher is very simple. The Pneumatic crusher has a pneumatically operated piston and cylinder mounted beneath a work plate, and linked to an upper press plate by rods extending through the work plate to provide compression in a die-set area defined between the upper press plate and the work plate. The pneumatically operated piston and cylinder are encased within an enclosed base which is insulated. The movable cylinder acts against springs also mounted within the base which causes the press plate to rebound after a pneumatically operated down stroke.
