What is the compactor?

The term "can compactor" can refer to different types of machines that are designed to crush or otherwise compress metal cans in preparation for the process of storage, transport or recycling. The size and function of the CAN compactor may vary significantly according to its intended purpose; Larger machines are often used in the recycling of plants to compact several cans at once, while consumer models can be used to compact only one at a time. Larger machines tend to be motorized, while home models tend to contain manual controls for crushing one or more cans.

The general purpose of the CAN compactor is to crush cans to reduce the amount of space they occupy. Larger compact models, sometimes known as packages, can crush several cans into a rectangular form known as a package. This package can then be stacked for storage or transport. Packages can be quite large, which means they can also be difficult;This means that special equipment may be necessary to move. Baleler will have a large hopper in which can be loaded; Once inside the chamber, the hydraulic arm activates to crush the cans against the solid surface.

Consumer models are much easier. Some may mount the compactor models on the wall and a can or several cans are loaded into the chamber. Once the inside is inside, the other arms can be pulled down, controlling the arm to crush the cans. Crushed cans will then be removed from the unit and thrown into the basket or recycling basket. This process allows the consumer to store more garbage or recyclable goods in a container for transport or pickup.

Some consumer models also have an electric motor that will facilitate the process of crushing cans. A can insert a can or several cans in the chamberAnd when the machine is activated, the hands crush the cans inside. Many such models will contain an upstairs basket on the baskets, so the cans may not be removed as soon as they are crushed. Instead, the user can wait for the baskets to be in the trash, and then unload the entire unit in a larger pickup basket. Sometimes compact models can compress other materials, although they are generally designed to crush only metals of light, such as aluminum.
