ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for preparing cans for recycling which automatically feeds cans one at a time into a cleaning station for cleaning and draining any remaining residue from the cans. At the completion of the cleaning cycle, the cleaned can is fed to a crushing station where the can is crushed to a predetermined thickness and then dropped into a hopper for storage for recycling. In accordance with the invention, three or more aluminum or tinned steel cans may be cleaned and crushed per minute without operator intervention.
