Innovative Can Crusher Design for Roadrunner Trucking

The Can Crusher Project, undertaken by Kartikey Desai, Courtney Jones, Sarah Kasi, and Jon Ko, aims to develop an effective solution for Roadrunner Trucking to reduce aluminum can volume by 70%. This project includes research, brainstorming, and prototyping a manually operated can crusher that fits within specified constraints. Deliverables include a functional can crusher, a technical report, and a PowerPoint presentation. The team adhered to a structured timeline and defined responsibilities to ensure project success.

  5. Group Development (cont’d) Team Constitution • Effective Group

  6. Timeline • Kept us on task

  7. Problem Statement Roadrunner Trucking wants us to build a can crusher that will reduce the volume of their aluminum cans.

  8. Background • Roadrunner Trucking → a lot of aluminum cans • Aluminum cans must be reduced by 70% • $0.05 fine per can

  9. Background

  10. Customers • Mr. Pritchard • Roadrunner Trucking

  11. Scope Outputs • Can Crusher • Tech Report • Power Point Resources • Internet • Mr. Pritchard- Tech • Miss Hernacki- Math Calculations • Mr. Hund- CAD Drawings

  12. Scope Potential Materials • Wood • PVC • Metal brackets • Metal hinges • Nails and screws

  13. Scope Key Constraints • Max space of 18”×24”×30” • One simple machine • One unit • Manually operated • Bin must hold 20 uncrushed cans

  14. Deliverables • Can Crusher • Tech Report • Power Point presentation

  15. Brainstorming • What materials? • What size? • What type of Can Crusher?

  16. Research and Generate Ideas

  17. Criteria • Self-loading • Inexpensive • Simple • Not time consuming • Reliable

  18. Constraints • Design occupies 18” x 24” x 30” (maximum) • Materials: wood, PVC, metal brackets, metal hinges, screw & nails • Uses one simple machine (minimum) • Crushed can falls into aluminum can bin • Aluminum can bun slides in and out of crusher • Can hold 20 crushed cans
