ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for crushing cylindrical cans is disclosed. The apparatus and method are particularly useful for crushing cylindrical beverage cans such as those commonly used as containers for soft drinks and beer. The cans are crushed along their longitudinal axes by parallel crushing faces which each move towards each other along predetermined arcual paths. The faces are continuously moving along an arcual path so that the faces crush the can and then move away from the can to discharge it from the bottom of the apparatus.
