ABSTRACT

The project is about the fabrication of a mechanical crusher that would help to crush the used juice cans, paint cans, and punched sheet metal waste. This project aims to design a crusher that could be installed anywhere and would aid the crush of used wastes. This project involves the process of designing the crusher considering forces required for crushing and the ergonomic factor that an operator needs. The design of this machine is such that it would require optimum load to crush metals and will not strain the user or operator. After the completion of the design process, it is manufactured and transformed into a machine that would help in waste management. The crushing of used cans will also ensure that the cans are not used beyond -the life of the metals. Therefore this project will prove to be a useful asset in many ways.
