Design and fabrication of aluminium can and plastic bottle crusher / Nur Ain Jannah Noor Heryman

The manual can crusher is the most popular type of can crusher that is used to crush various types of cans which need human effort for the crushing process. It is designed to be operated by hand for convenience while crushing cans. The issue is that can waste day by day is increasing, which will lead to the dumping of garbage at the garbage disposal center. Therefore, the objective of this project is to create a can crusher that will counter this problem which is making crushed cans into stackable piles for more conventional recycling. In addition, this machine not only crushes cans but also bottles, and there is a bottle opener as an advantage of this machine. This can crusher will be equipped with a hole for hanging on the wall that will allow for space savings and ease of use. The material that will be used in the fabrication process is stainless steel. Stainless steel adds strength and durability to products, as well as corrosion resistance. It also tends to have a long lifetime even when exposed to heavy usage for a longer period of time. In conclusion, this aluminium can and plastic bottle crusher machine will make life easier and the recycling haul much more convenient.
