    Just use the same Idea you have but I think you need to diminish the resistance from the can before you crush it so I came up with this

    so in the same motion you first apply the lateral crush then the central crush with less resistance so it can be faster and will require less power from the central piston to crush it!

     

    or you can improve it with a pneumatic or electric central piston like the one inside a nail gun!

     

    that is proven faster and you can regulate the PSI!
