チ−ルとアルミに分別できる利点がある。As described above, according to the present invention, a pair of steel pinching belts, which are attached to a casing with an appropriate interval in the vertical direction or the lateral direction, face each other on their feeding sides, and An outlet serving as a crushing portion is formed narrower than the inlet, and an adjusting roller is provided at an intermediate portion of one or both of the clamping belts, and the adjusting roller is provided on the clamping belt. When a load higher than the setting is applied, it can be adjusted backward, and between the adjusting roller and the sprocket on the inlet side, and between the adjusting roller and the sprocket on the outlet side, the rigidity of the can, etc. When the load is applied, the region is dented and retracted so that the can is wrapped around the cans and sent toward the outlet, so if you throw empty cans of various beverages into the casing inlet, After that, be sure to pinch with the pinching belt It sent. Moreover, even at the sprocket part of the discharge port, at least one sprocket can adjust the tension, so that if a large and hard foreign matter other than the empty can is mixed, there is no fear of damaging the sprocket or the like of the crushed part. .. If the crushing work of the empty cans is thrown into the input port of the machine box, the sensor of the control mechanism operates, the pinching belt starts to drive for the time required for crushing the empty cans, and the crushed product for the day is crushed. The processing time is set, and when the set time elapses, the timer operates to stop the rotational drive of the clamping belt.In this state, the clamping belt is turned on even if the motor is powered on. Since the motor does not rotate, it is possible to reliably prevent waste of electric power. The empty cans crushed by the pinching belt are discharged to the outside by the conveyor.
At that time, the steel can having an attracting property by the roller type magnetic member is moved to the return side of the pinching belt while being attracted through the belt surface, and the magnetic force of the magnetic roller disappears. At a certain position, it is dropped and stored in a predetermined sorting container. On the other hand, since the aluminum crushed can is not affected by the magnetic force of the magnetic roller, it is not attracted by the magnetic roller and is dropped as it is and accommodated in an aluminum container. This has the advantage that it can be automatically discharged and the crushed empty cans can be separated into steel and aluminum.
