Abstract

The increasing amount of aluminum can waste has encouraged the development of a faster and more efficient processing system. This research focuses on the analysis of kinematic and dynamic performance of a pneumatic-based can pressing machine equipped with a forward–reverse motion mechanism. The study was conducted through machine design, fabrication, assembly, and experimental testing. The developed system used an SC 80 × 175 mm double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a working pressure of 6 bar, operated using a 5/2 solenoid valve. Experimental results showed that the actuator produced a pressing force of 3014.4 N, allowing the machine to perform stable linear movement during the pressing process. Testing on ten aluminum cans showed that the average processing time was reduced from 78 seconds in the manual process to 24 seconds using the pneumatic system. This improvement resulted in a time efficiency increase of 69.23%. These findings indicate that the developed pneumatic can press machine provides better productivity and performance for aluminum waste processing.
