ABSTRACT: Nowadays in India, recycling is one of the areas which is rapidly increasing day by day. The amount of waste coming is in a tremendous quantity. Aluminium cans and Tin plate cans are one of the important product which is being recycled on an increasing scale. For carrying out this recycling can crushers are used . For recycling of these cans , manual operation is being carried out in industries, which is a time consuming process and ultimately it leads to the reduction of production rate. In order to crush the cans in a less time ,we are designing a can crusher machine using scotch yoke mechanism having multi or two side crushing ability. A can crusher machine is used for crushing aluminium soda cans for recycling purpose and also for easy storage in recycling bins. The scotch yoke mechanism converts the rotating motion into reciprocating motion, this is the principle which we are using in our can crusher.
Keywords : scotch yoke mechanism ,rigid construction at low cost, electric supply.

I. INTRODUCTION
Aluminium can recycling is the process by which scrap aluminium can be reused in products after its initial production. The process involves simply re-melting the metal, which is far less expensive and energy intensive than creating new aluminium through the electrolysis of aluminium HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxide" oxide (Al2O3), which must first be mined from bauxite ore and then refined using the Bayer process. Recycling scrap aluminium requires only 5% of the energy used to make new aluminium..For this reason, approximately 31% of all aluminium produced in the United States comes from recycled scrap.

    recycling of metalsMetal ores are non-renewable resources. They were formed when the Earth was formed and there is no way of forming any more of them. While we are unlikely to use up all the known reserves of metal ores in the short term, we nevertheless should use them as sparingly as possible so as to make them last for as long as possible.…

    Aluminium is the most abundant metallic element in the lithosphere, thought to be 7.5 to 8.1%, it is rare to find it isolated. Due to its high reactivity it forms a high-energy bond with oxygen, thus making it difficult to extract. Therefore it has to be refined form alumina, using the Hall-Heroult process (below). Alumina is produced by the Bayer Process from bauxite and used in the production of aluminium metal. It is also used as a refractory material, which is a material which keeps its strength even at high temperatures. These materials are usually used in linings of furnaces and kilns, incinerators and reactors.…
