ABSTRACT:
A can crusher having a pair of vertically aligned wheels with one of the wheels having a resilient tire and the other, driven wheel being non-resilient and having outer projecting bar means that contact the resilient tire. A vertical chute directs the cans into the intersecting contact area of the rotating wheels and a second chute directs the crushed cans at the velocity imparted by the rotating wheels to contact a deflecting surface, whereby the cans are deflected at a high velocity into an air passage containing air moving therein under pressure that in turn passes through a venturi at the point of mixing with the cans, increasing the velocity of movement of the carrying air. Also the suction for the air under pressure is used to separate cans to be crushed from bottles.
