    The key takeaways are that the pneumatic circuit is being designed to crush drink cans for recycling. The circuit must not operate below 6 bar of pressure and have safety features to prevent the pressing operation from starting unless the cylinder is in the upper position. A pressure sequence valve and limit switches are involved.

    The purpose of the pneumatic circuit is to crush drink cans into a compact block for space-saving storage in a recycling plant. The pressing operation is triggered by a pushbutton and is designed to only operate once sufficient system pressure is reached.

    The required components are a pressure sequence valve to only allow air flow once 6 bar is reached, cylinders to perform the pressing and returning motions, limit switches to detect the cylinder positions, and valves and tubing to control air flow. The pressure sequence valve controls when air can enter the circuit, the cylinders perform the mechanical work, and limit switches provide positional feedback.

    Exercise 13: Crushing of drinks cans

    Training aims • To familiarise yourself with the design and mode of operation of a pressure
    sequence valve.
    • To be able to design pressure-dependent control systems.

    Problem definition In a recycling plant drinks cans are to be crushed into a block for space-saving
    storage. The pressing operation is to be triggered by means of a pushbutton. The
    return stroke can be triggered by a pushbutton. The pressing operation is to start
    only if sufficient pressure is available.

    Parameters • The retracted end position is the initial position of the pressing cylinder.
    • The pressing operation is to start only if the system pressure is above 6 bar
    (600 kPa).
    • The return stroke can be triggered manually since, depending on material load,
    the pressing cylinder does not reach the forward end position.

    Project task 1. Complete the pneumatic circuit diagram for the crushing of cans.
    2. Carry out the assembly.
    3. Check the assembled circuit.
    4. Describe the mode of operation of the circuit.
    5. Compile an equipment list.

    Exercise 13: Crushing of drinks cans

    Positional sketch

    Tin can press

    1. A pressure sequence valve is to switch upon reaching the preset pressure and to
    release compressed air for the circuit. The circuit must not function below a
    pressure of 4.5 bar (450 kPa).
    2. It should not be possible to commence the pressing operation via a start button
    unless the pressing cylinder is in the upper end position. The pressing cylinder is
    to move up to the forward end position or a stop predefined by the material.
    3. The return stroke is to be triggered by means of a limit switch or pushbutton.

    Note
    The required protective grid is not shown.

    Additional exercises • What errors can occur during the assembly and tubing up of the circuit?
    • What is the effect of such errors? Describe these.
