Abstract :
Often we see in the daily life of used goods collectors, especially can collectors to press or reduce the volume of cans, they still do this by stepping on it or hitting it with a hammer so that the volume is reduced. the input of this tool is that used drink cans can be put directly into the box of the designed tool, the output of used drink cans that have been pressed with their size has been reduced, the cans that have been compacted will get smaller many times so that the cans obtained will be more at the time of delivery or stored in a can shelter. The type and size of materials, components, and driving elements are selected based on design considerations and requirements, construction safety, ease of manufacture, and availability of facilities for processing materials into machine components. Selection of the movement continuation elements in the form of nuts and screw shafts of the transporter to change the rotational movement of the lever to a straight movement of the pressure plate of this tool is able to obtain an average weight of cans that have been pressed by 197 grams with an average time of 58 seconds and an average of 18 rotations of the lever screw. The Vtotal calculation data is 0.03152 m³/kg. Calculation data obtained by calculating the capacity of the mold is 8.56 kg/hour. With this used can pressing device with dimensions of 40cm long, 40cm wide and 100cm high it makes it easier for used can collectors to reduce the volume of the cans and the place for used cans becomes more efficient. help the collectors' time efficiency. The existence of this tool with a printing capacity of 8.56 kg/hour really helps collectors save energy.
