ABSTRACT:
A large cylindrical enclosure shaped to look like a huge beverage can has a recessed area in its outer wall containing an operator's panel and an opening into the interior for inserting empty recyclable beverage cans. Inside the enclosure is a conveyor for receiving the inserted cans, means for distinguishing between ferrous and non-ferrous recyclable cans, means for counting the number of ferrous and non-ferrous cans and pneumatic transporting means for carrying the cans to a mechanical crusher which compacts the cans individually and discharges them into a temporary storage area from which they are removed from time to time for recycling. The operator's panel includes manually operable buttons for initiating operation of the mechanisms in the interior of the strucutres and may also include various visual readouts as well as a dispenser for feeding out coins, printed credit slips and receipts. The machine also contains programmable electronic circuitry for providing information and controls necessary for operation of the equipment and for determining the amount of payout and other useful data and information.
