⚙️ How the Can Crusher Works

Our crusher utilizes a mechanical pivot that amplifies your pull force. Here’s the step-by-step:

• Load: Place an empty aluminum can into the crusher’s cradle.
• Pull: Grip the rotating handle and pull downward—it’s 75% easier than flat-lever designs.
• Crush: The pivoting action flattens the can uniformly, minimizing sharp edges.
• Dispense: A spring-loaded gate opens automatically, dropping the crushed can into the bin.
• Collect: When the bin is full (48 cans), tie a bag around the rim and remove it for recycling.

This aluminum can crusher is perfect for:

• Home Kitchens: Keep countertops clutter-free and save space in recycling bins.
• Garages & Workshops: Manage drink can waste during projects without trips to the curb.
• Offices & Breakrooms: Encourage recycling with a fun, safe tool that all employees can use.
• Schools & Community Centers: Teach kids about recycling—child-safety stops make it classroom-friendly.
• Events & Restaurants: Handle large volumes of beverage cans quickly and hygienically.

❓ People Also Ask

How much force is needed to crush a can?

Traditional can crushers may require up to 50 lbs of force. Our patented pivot design reduces that to just 12–15 lbs, making it easy for teens and seniors alike.

Can I use this crusher on steel cans?

It’s optimized for aluminum soda and beer cans. Crushing steel cans requires more force and could damage the mechanism.

How do I empty the collection bin?

The bin lifts straight off the wall mount. Simply tie off the bag around the rim, lift it free, and replace with a new bag.

Is installation complicated?

Not at all. Use the included mounting bracket and screws—attach to any sturdy wall stud in under 10 minutes.

💡 Pro Tips for Maximum Efficiency

• Pre-Sort Cans: Rinse and separate soda from beer cans for streamlined recycling.
• Mount at Comfort Height: Install the crusher at waist level to reduce bending.
• Use Quality Bags: Heavy-duty recycling bags prevent punctures from any residual can edges.
• Keep It Clean: Wipe the cradle and handle monthly—residual liquid can attract insects.
• Encourage Participation: Place the crusher in breakrooms or kitchens with visible signage to boost recycling rates.
