Will this compactor crush 1 gallon cans and how many cans will fit after they are crushed

Have not had 1 gallon cans but I would say no. Compactor crushes at your strength. The more strength you apply the more it will crush.

This items works by your force pushing down on the center device. You would need a great deal of strength to achieve what you're looking to do. I love it, but use it mostly for water bottles, milk and plastic bottles and cardboard boxes.

Really not the use this is intended for - you'd have to be pretty strong to mash those down. It's really for kitchen and household use, and for that it does a good job.

This is a manual compactor, not electric, it will not crush cans. Its nice looking and you can compact soft trash.

This bag is for a 13 gallon can. Your can is about 8 gallons. Should work fine with a little extra room. I also have a 55 gallon can. I can stretch a 30 gallon bag into it with a little effort. I hope this has helped you in some small way. Good Day.

I did happen to have a few to crush. Yeah, it did a pretty good job. As with all cans, just make a little dimple on each side of the can before you put it in (just squeeze lightly with two fingers just enough to put a very slight kink on each side) then the cans will crush straight down, quite flat. If you have a lot of the thick bottles, pace your self, the thick ones require some effort, and they won't crush nearly as flat or neat as the regular cans. This is the best manual crusher I know of and I am quite happy with it. However, if I was going to be crushing mostly those thick bottles, I think I'd look into a powered crusher.

I really don't know. I've only used compactors for forty three years with only problems with one out of three. I might suggest for you to go with a tape measure and compare sizes of each brand. I am now using a 18" bag in a 15" Whirlpool compactor without any major problem. Kitchen aid is a good brand. one once but sold the house.

Yes these are one Gallon Cans! I just Buy the not sell them!! Be Very Careful who you buy them from!! the Cheapest is not Automatically the Best!! I've purchased a couple of cases and after 3 Months and Damaged Product, I ended up Going to a Ace Hardware, where most of them are sold from!! Didn't get the Discount but was able to order what I needed and they stocked the product for me so I didn't over-Buy

i have successfully used 1/2 gallon jars with this canner- do not recall how many canner will hold- you can put empty jars in empty canner to see how many it will hold.

Yes and no. The Pacific Fabrication 77702 can crusher was designed to crush 12oz soda cans. Any can that is either taller or wider had to be crushed a bit in order to fit in the Pacific Fabrication can crusher's opening and even then you take the chance of the bigger can getting stuck in the can crusher. When I have bigger cans than what the Pacific Fabrication can crusher is designed for I just use my foot to flatten them.

When crushing each can,you have to exert several pounds of upward force. My ram is mounted to a 4x4. If it wasn't mounted, I wouldn't be crushing anything!(BTW, what is the metric equivalent of pounds?)

It holds 10 cans. But as the others have said, if a can is partially crushed it will affect how it works.

It will only hold 15 oz cans or smaller. I have 4 sets and use them for vegetables and fruit. They are very sturdy, but I would change a few things if I were to design this device. Overall I am very happy with it, but the most troubling problem is the middle row just does not rotate unless you let your stock get down to a point where the middle row is the highest cans. As you continue to pull from the bottom the middle row rotates down. For 15oz cans it will hold 14 cans I have to allow my stock to get to 5 cans left before adding anymore (to use up the middle row). This defeats the purpose I purchased this for as I want to add cans as I use them and never let my stock get below 6 cans! Other than that I recommend this unit, unless you are handy with a router and wood then I suggest you make your own. there is one other thing and that is for Campbell soup size cans you don't really need the dowels. once you set it up close you can space it right for Campbell's soup and they don't bind up like they do when using the dowels provided.

sorry that it took so long to get back to your question.. I asked to see this happen so that I could state it as true.. Yes, it will crush 16oz. cans.. this is a great product. Used this at someone's camp and had to have it..

I haven't been able to find a 32oz can to test this with. I've crushed 24 and 25 ounce cans with ease. As long as it will fit in the 9" "chamber" for lack of a better word. This crusher will crush it. It is quite robust. I'm glad I spent the extra money purchasing this product.

I agree with both of these answers. If the crusher handle is down you can fit 10 regular cans in, however while crushing it is common for a can to go flying out of the hopper when it is that full.

very small have to lay down two cans to get the 6 cans in if this answers your question

I doubt it. I have not attempted but I have attempted to crush RedBull cans which are a little taller than standard cans and it does not fit. if I slightly crunch it by hand to make it an appropriate height it works though. You just have to make sure not to crush it too much or the pressure of the can crusher won't hold it in place to finish crushing it. Sounds complicated, in actuality isn't really, just a slight hassle.

Without telling me how big those cans are, I can't answer. But you should be able to do the arithmetic yourself, using the dimensions provided.

nope, that wont fit I. the shaker is only about 1/2" taller than a gallon can.
