Abstract
A process for crushing objects, primarily to crush cans, which is comprised of the steps of using manual forces assisted by resultant inertia a ramming action impacted against the device. The process involves lifting the ram, lowering it by force against the can, with a subsequent optional measurement of the can's final height after being so impacted. The process involves the measurable characteristics in degrees of offset rim alignment, as well as the quantity and quality measurements made on the layers of stratification in the crushed can's sidewalls.
