Basics
- A Cheap Open Source Device that can Rapidly Crush Aluminum "soda cans"
- It should be hopper fed and electrically driven
- Can either be single sided (one side of the piston does the crushing) or double sided (both sides of the piston do the crushing)
- Should be very high speed to justify use over either a manual crusher or simply stepping on the can (IE dump an entire Waste Bin and have it all crushed in secconds)
Used For
- Induction Furnace
- Small Aluminum Part Machine
- Open Source Metal Recycling + Refining Construction Set
