ABSTRACT:
An apparatus crushes aluminum cans at a fast rate and dispenses compensation for the crushed cans. The apparatus crushes the cans on the longitudinal axis rather than lengthwise which results in a more compact unit thus saving storage space. The apparatus also processes the cans faster than most existing machines. The apparatus comprises an enclosure with an opening for receiving cans leading to a chute for the cans to fall one at a time with the cylindrical axis substantially vertical. A dispenser releases one can at a time from the chute past a detector to reject any cans that are not aluminum, through a gate which closes and permits a platen to crush the can on the closed gate. The crushed can is ejected into a discharge container and compensation commensurate with the number of cans processed is issued.
