ABSTRACT:
A recycling/crushing apparatus for cans includes a frame housing having an inlet defined in an upper end thereof. A feeding device is mounted in the frame housing and includes an intermittently rotatable axle, a ratchet wheel mounted on the axle to rotate therewith, and a cylindrical wheel mounted on the axle to rotate therewith and having a plurality of annular recesses defined in an outer periphery thereof for receiving cans. A crushing device is mounted in the frame housing and below the feeding device and includes a fixed plate, a movable plate, and a hydraulic cylinder for actuating the movable plate to move relative to the fixed plate between a first, closed position for crushing a can therebetween and a second, open position at which a crushed can will fall. A linking device is interconnected between the movable plate and the ratchet wheel of the feeding device for urging the ratchet wheel to intermittently rotate, thereby feeding a can into the crushing device. A container is mounted below the crushing device for receiving crushed cans.
