From Bee Cool Mfg.
Recycling is an important means of preserving our environment, and a good way of getting started is by recycling aluminum cans. In most cases (depending on where you live and what the laws are) the cans are collected in drop-off programs or at your curbside, and then cans are sorted, consolidated, and crushed. The crushed cans are then baled for transportation to a recycling facility which melts them down and converts the old aluminum into new products.
The only piece of specialty equipment required in this process is the can crusher. Most of these machines are juggernauts--huge, hulking things that are enormously powerful and expensive to purchase. But Bee Cool Manufacturing has created the Little Squeeze, an inexpensive, portable can crusher/compactor that is powerful enough to crush up to five-gallon metal cans to a sixth of their original size!
A visit to our website, www.littlesqueeze.net, will introduce you to this great new product. There we have a video showing the Little Squeeze in action--you'll be amazed by its small size when you realize it has a four-ton crushing capacity! And when compared to other machines of equal power, it's remarkably inexpensive. Because it's so small, it runs on normal household electricity--making it less expensive to use, too. And if you're concerned about time, you'll be delighted to discover that the Little Squeeze works in seconds.
Products & Services
Preload springs, spacers, and washers are meant to maintain tension in an assembly where some slack may be present. Their capabilities can eliminate rattle, compensate for expansion or contraction of the assembly materials, or absorb intermittent shock loads. These products are made of elastic deformable materials, most commonly convoluted ductile, high-strength metal alloys which come in machined, welded, and open-ring varieties.
Compression springs are the most recognizable of spring and are intended to oppose compaction in the direction of the axis. The spring is extended at rest, shorten and store energy when a load is applied, and is one most efficient energy storage devices available. Traditionally, they are wound and uniform in pitch and diameter, but these traits vary considerably today.
