ABSTRACT:
Can crusher apparatus includes a cylindrical housing and a can receiving slot in a lower portion of the cylindrical housing. Cans fall into a conveyor belt which transmits or transports the cans to a conduit which conveys the cans upwardly and to a crusher. Ferrous cans remain in the conveyor by magnetic elements and move off the conveyor and are discarded. After being crushed, the cans are transported upwardly by air pressure or a moving air stream to the upper portion of the housing where they remain until they are transported out of the apparatus. The cans are moved out of the apparatus by air pressure which is the exhaust portion of the air pressure applied to the conduit which transports the cans from the conveyor to the crusher.
