 Problem Statement and
Category

Cans are used widely in the food/beverage Manufacturing Industries for storage and distribution

worldwide. In the home, after the food is removed, disposals of the cans can be very

complicated.

Reasons are:

1) Size-Large size cans take up a lot of space in garbage bags/pan.

2) The sharp edges always destroy garbage bags and sometimes cause injuries.

3
 Design Justification
The mechanism which was designed is a can crusher. It is designed to crush cans so that they can

be disposed of in a more practical manner. A stand for which the can crusher will be placed on

was also designed. The can crusher consists of five (5) parts in total, these are:

1) The main body

2) Knob

3) Crusher

4) Door

5) Handle

The mechanism works in such a way that the user has to open the door of the can crusher by

pulling on the handle of the door. The user would then place the can into the mechanism and

close back the door. The user would then have to pull down on the knob which would in turn

cause the crusher to be brought down to crush the can. The crusher and the knob would be

brought to its original position once the user stops pulling down on the knob as springs are

attached to the crusher and the knob. The mechanism is assembled in various ways. The handle

is placed unto the door using hexagonal screws, the door is attached to the main body of the

mechanism using two regular butt hinges, springs are attached to the crusher and also the knob

and the knob is fixed into the crusher through welding.

Even though the mechanism works, there are a few limitations. One being that the can crusher

cannot crush cans which are more than 7.4 inches in height and 4.7 inches in width or diameter.

Another limitation is that the knob may have to be brought down on more than one occasion for

4
the can to be fully crushed. The final limitation is that the door on the mechanism cannot be

locked which makes the device less safe for small children. In terms of safety precautions, a

stand is built to prevent small children from having access to the device as the door of the device

cannot be locked.

 Market Research

Upon the introduction of the can crusher to 20 persons, 78% said that they would purchase it

because it ease relatively cheap, it is simple to use and also it comes with a stand which the can

crusher can be placed on. The percentage of the people who liked the design also was pleased

with the aesthetics of the design as the can crusher was spray painted in a stainless steel colour.

Also people found the implementation of a door quite convenient because it reduces the chance

of an accident or children placing their hands inside the mechanism. The 22% percent of the

people who disliked the design was not pleased with the price and also were concerned that that

the door could not be locked.
