ABSTRACT:
A compressing device is provided that is suitable for crushing cans. A compressing device is provided that includes a plurality of linear drive actuators located along side a compression chamber to both reduce height/size of the compressing device, and provide a more uniform compression force to the can. A compressing device is provided that includes a workpiece receptacle that collects liquid or other debris, increases the safety of the compressing device by shielding sharp edges of the crushed workpiece, and provides for easy cleaning due to it's removability and dishwasher safe construction. A compressing device is provided that includes crimping portions that provide more controlled easier crushing of work pieces such as aluminum cans.
