Unlike a shredder, it does not tear cans into fragments \u2014 each can leaves the machine as a single flattened piece with its <strong>barcode, brand artwork, and deposit label still readable<\/strong>. That one design choice is what makes flattening the preferred pre-processing step for <strong>container deposit schemes (CDS)<\/strong>, recycling centers, venues, and retail collection points where can identity still has cash value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shuliy&#8217;s roller-type aluminum can crusher line covers <strong>5 models from 300 to 3,000 kg\/h<\/strong> \u2014 from a two-phase 3 kW unit for supermarket back rooms, to an 11 kW twin-roller machine processing three tons an hour for stadiums and CDS depots. Factory prices start at <strong>$1,400<\/strong>. Every model squeezes loose, air-filled cans into dense 1\u20132 mm discs, cutting storage volume by more than half so bins, bales, and truck loads fill efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking for machine specifications and pricing?

Many operations run flattening first, then baling, to get both deposit processing and transport density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How the Can Flattening Machine Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Step 1 \u2014 Feeding<\/strong>: Empty cans are dropped into the feed hopper above the roller set. The roller gap self-feeds each can as it enters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 2 \u2014 Nip<\/strong>: Two counter-rotating steel rollers (277\u2013377 mm in diameter, matched to the model class) grip the can and pull it into the nip point between them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 3 \u2014 Rolling flat<\/strong>: The nip compresses the can uniformly into a solid disc of <strong>1\u20132 mm thickness<\/strong>. The can walls fold inward under pressure; the printed surface is preserved rather than cut.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 4 \u2014 Discharge<\/strong>: The flattened disc exits the roller gap into a collection bin or directly into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baler-machines.com\/tr\/aluminum-can-baler\/\">can baler<\/a> for downstream block compression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rolling nip is what separates a flattener from a shredder: force is applied as continuous compression across the can, not as shear through it. No cutting, no tearing, no fragments \u2014 and no dust or oily fines that a shredder would generate.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.baler-machines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/can-flattening-machine-with-conveyor-belt.webp\" alt=\"can flattening machine with conveyor belt\" class=\"wp-image-4541\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.baler-machines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/can-flattening-machine-with-conveyor-belt.webp 720w, https:\/\/www.baler-machines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/can-flattening-machine-with-conveyor-belt-16x12.webp 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">can flattening machine with conveyor belt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where Deposit Schemes Drive Can Flattener Demand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aluminum can flattening machines see their strongest demand in markets where an empty can is worth money \u2014 and where the refund depends on the can remaining identifiable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Market<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Scheme<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Typical Deposit per Can<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Why Flattening Fits<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Australia<\/td><td>Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) \u2014 NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, TAS, ACT<\/td><td>10 AU cents<\/td><td>Flattened UBCs stay scannable; volume cut means fewer collection runs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>USA<\/td><td>Bottle deposit laws (10 states incl.

Barcode, brand artwork, and deposit text stay readable, so container deposit schemes still accept flattened cans.

Both aluminum and tinplate steel beverage cans within the standard size range (330 ml to 710 ml) can be flattened.

Rolling each can down to a 1-2 mm disc removes that air and cuts storage volume by more than half, so bins hold far more cans per load and collection or shipping runs drop accordingly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1792133030847\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Can flattening be combined with baling?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>Yes, and many operators do exactly that: flatten first to shrink volume and keep cans identifiable, then bale the flattened discs into dense blocks for transport to the smelter or depot. Our aluminum can baler is the standard downstream machine.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get a Quote \u2014 Tell Us Your Can Volume<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To recommend the right can flattening machine, send us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Approximate can weight processed per day (kg or tons), or peak per hour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can types: aluminum, steel, or mixed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Local voltage (110V \/ 220V \/ 380V, 50 or 60 Hz)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether output goes to deposit return, baling, or direct scrap sale<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will reply within 24 hours with a model recommendation, full specification sheet, and FOB\/CIF pricing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shuliy roller-type can flattening machine squeezes aluminum and steel beverage cans into flat, intact 1-2 mm discs \u2014 cutting storage volume by more than half while keeping barcodes and brand markings readable for deposit-return schemes. 5 models from 300 to 3,000 kg\/h (two-phase option, factory price from $1,400) for CDS collection points, recycling centers, stadiums, and supermarkets.
