Pneumatic Can and Plastic Bottle Compactor with Safety Light Curtain
High-force pneumatic piston crusher reducing aluminium cans and bottles by 80% volume with optical safety hand interlocks.
Project Overview
An industrial recycling prep machine for campus cafeterias. When a beverage can or plastic container drops into the hopper, an optical light curtain verifies operator hand clearance, triggering a double-acting pneumatic ram with 500N of crushing force.
