Abstract
A can crusher is a device which is used for squashing food and beverage cans to save space for recycling. The disposal of the used cans compose a problem because the empty cans occupy space. Also the transport of empty cans become difficult. There is a need to crush these cans. So that they occupy smaller space for storage and transport. This will help recycling of the material of the can. It can be placed everywhere in the park, houses. Recycling plays a very important role to save our natural resources. The Present Paper Focus Ondesign the part of a can crusher and to fabricate the can crusher by using solar power. In present days we need more and more power for driving instruments. In these project with drive and pneumatic valve is operated by using solar cell, solar cell generates the power using sunlight energy. A solar cell, a form of a photovoltaic cell is a device that uses the photoelectric effect to generate the electricity from light, thus generating solar power (energy). Most often many cells are linked together to form a solar panel with increased voltage and/or current. Solar cells produce direct current (D.C), which can be use directly, stored in a battery. The cylinder is connected with the reciprocating mechanism. When a cylinder is moved in reverse stroke the can are placed through inlet valve and during forward stroke the can is crushed and passed away through outlet valve. This will leads to continuous operation.
