The main objective of this project is to build a Can Crusher machine to minimize scrap volume and reuse cans, making it easier to transport them to a recycling facility. Nowadays, a considerable number of cans are used in factories, restaurants, and other establishments, necessitating a large amount of room for storing or dumping the used cans. This project entails the creation of a Can Crusher that uses a single slider crank mechanism to reduce the volume of cans by at least 70%. Usually, the machine can crusher have many types which is manual operated can crusher and automatic can crusher. For manual operated can crusher, it use human physically which is hand to make the machine works. While, for automatic can crusher there have many concept that have been used to make the machine works which is pneumatic, hydraulic, and also DC Motor. However, automatic machine is quite expensive to get it. So, this project will produce a product that can provide many advantages that is a product used from quality materials and also durable. For instance, this product is very easy to use by consumers and at the same time consumers can generate side income by selling the wastage can. The manufacturing process will applied in order to build one product such as welding process, drilling process and cutting process. After done complete the task according to the planning, the project need to make a testing product capability either the product can operate or not. From this final project, it will provide more knowledge about the mechanical engineering to the student. All information about this product should be identified in order to make the fabrication process going smoothly
