how to calculate the compression for cans? because my group want to do cans crusher machine?
The steel or aluminum for cans comes in a few standard thicknesses. The cans come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes with different types of seams. In worst case scenario, the crusher may fail to crush several cans simultaneously. You want that to happen very rarely, so the crusher should apply about 500 kilograms = 1100 pounds pressure to the cans. Neil
