Abstract

Apparatus for crushing cylindrical metal cans comprises a pair of co- operating elongate plates 1, 4 mounted in an upright position for relative movement and driving mechanism 9 for producing relative movement between the two plates, preferably about an axis 5. One of the plates 1 has an indenting projection 34 in the region of the wider end of the gap between the plates and the apparatus includes means 21 for feeding cans 20 into the gap between the plates 1, 4 where they are arrested by a stop 28 in register with the indenting projection 34 so that when the plates come together the can is indented to an extent sufficient to cause the ends to approach one another. As the plates separate again, the can slides down the gap and is then crushed further on successive strokes of reciprocation. <IMAGE>
