  • Back in the late seventies, I worked in an engineering department for a major company. Our mechanical engineer started playing with the basic mechanics shown here but powered it with air. It had a wire feed mechanism that let you stack cans I designed and built the electronics to control it and work the air valves, all from scrap parts in the lab. He fired it up and it smashed them like a machine gun, you only had to keep the feed full.

  • If you do this in Sweden you get zero money, we have recycle machines in every supermarket we're you get money for every pet bottle and cans you feed in to the machine, they have to be in the same condition as when you bought it, there is a bar code on every can and bottle that the machine scan.

    • Where I'm from in texas, they pay 50 cents a pound, a pound is made up of about 32 to 35, 12 once cans, so basically each can is worth one penny and half .015. So most people don't even bother recycling them,they just throw it away to the garbage

  • this just seam strange to me. in Sweden we have can recycling. if you bring your can to a supermarket there is a machine there that accepts cans and you get 1 Swedish krona for each can. that is about 0.1 American Dollars. The money comes from the extra fee that every can cost at the supermarket. this applies to plastic bottles here as well, the same machine accepts and sorts and crush them by reading the barcodes.

    • When recycling began here in NC it was a family thing. My parents & I would walk along the roads & anywhere else to pick up cans. Racing events, sporting events & also local bars. The cans found in the ditches sometimes were filled with mud, dirt or any kind of sediment that found its way into the can. We didn't take the time to wash these cans, we were just doing a service to recycle & get paid for it. I bought my first car with can money & rebuilt the engine. And yes, some people do try to add weight to them by adding sand, dirt or small rocks prior to crushing.

Форма пресса может быть любая, имеет значение только сила сжатия рукой, поэтому детали имеют значительную толщину, пожалуй это самый эффективный и компактный пресс который я видел на ютубе за несколько дней. Детали толщиной 1 сантиметр можно получить если приложить и сварить две полосы по 5 миллиметров толщиной, ручка длиной примерно 1 метр для достаточного усилия
