Cans are loaded and brought into the crushing cylinder by a track conveyor

Cans trigger photo eyes to control conveyor and loading

Compressed air is controlled through the use of a solenoid valve to drive the air cylinder

Controlled through the use of an Arduino Uno and Relays

Separate compartments for the electrical controls and pneumatic controls

The Arduino Uno was programmed in the C programming language using the Arduino IDE
