SYNOPSIS
The Can Crushing process is a main part of the Wastage Collecting industries. Normally the Can Crushing machine is manually hand operated one for Wastage Collecting industries. In our project is “Pneumatic Can Crusher”.
Automation in the modern world is inevitable. Any automatic machine aimed at the economical use of man, machine, and material worth the most. In our project is Pneumatic Actuator and control Valve unit is used for automation.
The Can Crushing machine works with the help of pneumatic Single acting cylinder. The piston is connected to the moving and Pressing Die Arrangement. It is used to press the wastage cool drinks can. The machine is portable in size, so easy transportable.
INTRODUCTION
This is an era of automation where it is broadly defined as replacement of manual effort by mechanical power in all degrees of automation. The operation remains an essential part of the system although with changing demands on physical input as the degree of mechanization is increased.
Degrees of automation are of two types, viz.
Full automation.
Semi automation.
In semi automation a combination of manual effort and mechanical power is required whereas in full automation human participation is very negligible.
Need For Automation
Automation can be achieved through computers, hydraulics, pneumatics, robotics, etc., of these sources, pneumatics form an attractive medium for low cost automation. The main advantages of all pneumatic systems are economy and simplicity. Automation plays an important role in mass production.
Reduction of lab our and material cost
Reduction of overall cost
Increased production
Increased storage capacity
Increased safety
Reduction in fatigue
Improved personnel comfort
WORKING PRINCIPLE
The compressed air from the compressor is used as the force medium for this operation. There is pneumatic Single acting cylinder, Control valve and Compressed air used .The arm from the compressor enters to the control Valve. The controlled air from the control valve enters to the Pneumatic Actuator. In one position air enter to the cylinder and pusses the piston, so that the Can Crushing stroke is obtained.
The next Control vale is open then return for cylinder exhaust air from the Pneumatic Single acting cylinder, so cylinder piston is return back.
APPLICATIONS
This machine is very useful for International Hotels
This machine is used to press the all types of can.
All Hotel Application
DISADVANTAGES
While working, the compressed air produces noise therefore a silencer may be used.
High torque can not be obtained
Load carrying capacity of this unit is not very high.(<50 N)
ADVANTAGES
The pneumatic is more efficient in the technical field
Quick response is achieved
Simple in construction
Easy to maintain and repair
Cost of the unit is less when compared to other machine
No fire hazard problem due to over loading
Comparatively the operation cost is less
The operation of Can Crushing is faster because the medium used to
Operate is air.
