Edlund CA-3000 Air-Powered Can Crusher, Countertop, Stainless Steel, for #10 Cans, 85 PSI
Description
A countertop air-powered crusher that flattens empty cans so six times more fit in your dumpster and recycling bins.
The Edlund CA-3000 crushes empty cans with shop air instead of electricity. Edlund rates it for #10 cans or smaller. Place the can in the chamber, close the safety lid and press the button; the crushed can falls into a receptacle. Edlund says it is smaller than the CH-5000 hydraulic crusher but just as powerful. It needs at least 85 PSI of clean, dry air at 8 to 10 CFM.
