  1. Can Crusher Group 2 Kyle Cleland Loren Lobbestael Thomas Pauly John Tasdemiroglu

  2. Road Map • Tom • Economic Analysis • Prototype Development • Testing/Demonstration • Environmental Issues • Ethical Issues • Social Implications • Team Reflections • Summary Kyle • Background • Patent Search • Objectives • Concurrent Design • Timeline • Detailed Design • Constraints

  3. Background • Design a can crusher? • Developed preliminary concepts • Conducted patent search and market research

  4. Patent Search • 166 existing patents • Mechanical crushing devices • Electro-mechanical devices • Six benchmark designs

  5. Findings • Several flaws in existing designs • Existing can crusher designs are not marketable • 98% of household cans are 12oz. beverage cans

  6. Objectives Develop and construct a can crusher that: • Is low cost • Is reliable • Is compact • Is aesthetically pleasing • Crushes 12 oz. Aluminum beverage cans to 25% of original size

  7. Concurrent Design

  8. Market Design Design for Research Calculations Assembly Patent/Product Product Component Prototype 3D CAD Model Final Product Search Specifications Drawings Fabrication Preparation Calculations/Data Manual Work Process Final Product Component Design for Selection/ Manufacturing Purchasing Electrical Electrical Testing/ System Schematic Evaluation Fabrication Concurrent Design

  9. Timeline

  10. Detailed Design • Modular Design • Low friction (high efficiency) • Common components • Automatic can removal • One-touch operation

  11. Detailed Design

  12. Constraints

  13. Economic Analysis • $400 Prototype Budget • Production Components • MSRP of $75 - $90

  14. Prototype Development • Purchased Components • Machined Components • Designed for Manufacturability • Designed for Assembly

  15. Product Assembly

  16. Product Assembly

  17. Product Assembly

  18. Testing Results • 25 can test • Functioned Properly • Series System

  19. Product Evaluation • Prototype met major specifications • Production version additions

  20. Disposal Bin Sealed crushing chamber Clutch or load sensing Lid safety switch Plastic housing Expandable base One button control V belt Acme screw Castings or Stampings Latching Lid Wider can rest Production Additions

  21. Environmental, Health and Safety • Minimal Negative Environmental Impact • Ergonomic Design • Safety Precautions • Reliable

  22. Ethical Issues • Socially Responsible • Promote Recycling • Safe

  23. Social Implications • Basis for our Product • Everyday 120 million cans are land filled, littered or incinerated in the U.S. • In 2000, recycling rate dropped to 55% • Recycling cans saves up to 75% of the energy required to produce them from raw materials.

  24. Team Reflections • Valuable Experience • Fun • Exciting Product

  25. Summary • Creative Brainstorming • Research • Concurrent Engineering • Prototype Fabrication • Testing • Great Project

  26. Thank You • Professor Newaz • Gautam • Eugene • Dave • Marvin
