  • Can compacting apparatus with selectable exit ports and method therefor
    Patent number: 4771685
    Abstract: An improved electrically powered can compacting apparatus including a piston-type plunger to longitudinally crush cans and then deposit them either in a container therebelow or onto the surface upon which the compactor is supported. The improved compacting apparatus incorporates an automatic feed safety hopper and is powered by a non-reversing electric motor which drives a series of low-friction reduction gear assemblies. The final reduction gear assembly, in turn, reciprocally drives the compacting piston.
