returnable for deposit: can crusher

If you have a business throwing a high volume of returnable cans, you want to deflate them yet keep them identifiable. Where I live the return depots accept this and it is less work for them.
This crusher is deceptively efficient as it crushes sideways while also shearing downwards for a repeatable and yielding crush. Crushed can falls into a bucket. Automating is easy while safety and liability is hard.
