  • non bias mass loading hydraulic powered home built can crusher, possibly new champion? has a hopper that can hold 500 non crushed cans and smash all of them in 4 minutes, lower crush chamber has 1900 + - crushed capacity making a 40 lb. bale.

    Wow the way they treat these cans... it’s soda pressing.

    @carpii Před 12 lety +11

    as can crushers go, its not exactly the most practical or convenient
    but you gotta admire the sheer brute force of it :)
    Woulda been nice if you could have shown the chamber being emptied tho

  • @plasmaman2507
    @plasmaman2507  Před 11 lety +2

    thanks, like I said I built it for personal use because the price in Ut. fluctuates drastically but all in all I am approx $800 in total to build the cans I save have nearly paid that back so from here on out its profit

    Love your video.. Love your showing of it. Here's what I'm thinking of: Dual acting cylinder, with rams on each end,, hoppers on both sides.. (opposing crush!) Pressure-switch regulated to throw the detent..a helper to load hoppers, automatic release of end plate (to poop out the block) - probably controlled by a counter, or limit switch hooked to a relay..or even just manually-run.. um, um.. another helper to tie off the blocks with aluminum wire..and reset the end plates? haha

    @williamhayden7711 Před 8 lety

    I like it. I also like the intro. Funny. The following are not criticisms. Just suggestions that popped into my head as I watched. I realize I did not make this and have no idea WTF I'm talking about. :) Just adding commentary. The only thing I can say is that it needs to be fully automated. Pile the cans up in the hopper, flip the switch and the machine does the rest. You just need to add the cans to the hopper. Perhaps had a hopper shaker to keep them darned can's from getting stuck. Then pull the bale out in the end. I'm going to go watch that video now. Thanks for sharing!

  • @plasmaman2507
    @plasmaman2507  Před 14 lety

    @rthom86 that's a good idea, but its about another $300 and I'm already into this about $600 and it rarely gets stuck it just so happened to do it while I filmed this.

  • @dks7875
    @dks7875 Před 11 lety +6

  • @toddolsen5005
    @toddolsen5005 Před 2 lety

    Thought about something like this but only problem is the scrap yard won’t take cans that are bailed into cubes because of people adding stuff for weight

  • @cruiserchrisworldnetwork4141

    I really like how you designed that can crusher the cruiser Chris World network is fully connected with you and watching

  • @jackel440
    @jackel440 Před 12 lety

    Awesome job! I like how you designed it.I was thinking the almost exact same style of crusher.I think I might copy your design if you don't mind.I could pull the skid loader up behind the shop and hook it up to power it so a dedicated power supply isn't required.I really like the feed hopper also.

  • @savagenomore

  • @psslonaker

    Pretty cool. I dont drink that many Pepsi's or cokes, so a can crusher is not in the works for me, but I do like your log split machine. I have a fire place and trees as we have plenty of logs, so the splitter is in the near future. I already have a spare Briggs 5 hp motor. Thanks for the ideas.

  • @bigredc222
    @bigredc222 Před 8 lety

    That's a good job.
    The scrap yard I go to bought one that's fed by a conveyor belt that brings it up to something that kicks out any steel, then after that it's just like yours, I bet they spend a bit more than you have into yours, it was probably 10 or 15 grand.
    Your looks more heavy duty.
    They stack them on a pallet, till they get about a 4' square cube, then band them to the pallet.

  • @SwarthySkinnedOne
    @SwarthySkinnedOne Před 5 lety

    Kind of loud. Is there a sound-control knob on that thing to turn down the noise or put it in silent mode? Gotta mute button on it?
    And is it 9 volt battery operated also, in case one forget to pay their electric bill?

  • @JDStorm76
    @JDStorm76 Před 11 lety

    question, do you go to a smelting plant with your aluminum? my dad used to know people that would save up the cans long enough and take them straight to the smelters. sounds like they often paid better then the local buyers.

  • @MyMilan1965
    @MyMilan1965 Před 11 lety

    This is really cool, not gonna lie, might be an awesome machine for a big club or maybe after a large public event? Would be really cool to see you demo this with plastic bottles. What becomes of say 250 - 500 2 liter bottles. Now, what I think would be really awesome would be a can & bottle crusher that would be compact & fully engineered for home use that crushes on demand. Probably about 99% of homes regularly drink beverages that come in recyclable plastic bottles as well as cans.

  • @gearhead5651
    @gearhead5651 Před 8 lety +27

    place your camera in the chamber with a light so we can see the cans crush.

  • @plasmaman2507
    @plasmaman2507  Před 11 lety

    I will try plastic bottles even though the state of Utah charges us to recycle plastic bottles just for a demo I have always built for personal use but after all the feedback I may change my mind. thanks will upload when I have 500 plstic bottles

  • @scotthoover6689
    @scotthoover6689 Před 8 lety +1

    actually it only took you around 2 minutes for 250. pretty cool. I'd just put a pressure switch on the up stroke to a certain point and make it reverse. good job tho. I love seeing different people's rigs they make.

It came with Motor, ram, control valve, mounted on wheels and a trailer hitch. Altogether it cost about $1000.00 and it's mobile. WTF makes yours worth three time that ($3500.00.) ??

    @girochin007 Practical? I guess your right if you consider blowing 20 grand (probably more) on a commercial baler for personal use. I built this to set outside my basement door, then every couple weeks crush the full hopper until I get a bale, Aluminum recycling prices can vary from 25 cents lb. to 95 cents lb. here in Utah (no I'm not L.D.S.). Why save the environment for a quarter? The fastest well...that was more of a joke, search youtube for worlds fastest can crusher, you'll see what I mean
