A Yahoo search for "electric can crushers" turned up over 600 results. This site offers two models, but they are very expensive:

If you do the same search, I am sure you will quickly find the type you are looking for.
Good luck with your search.

Hi, Don't know where you could get plans, but I made two of them with a gear reduction transmission & a small motor.I used a connecting rod piston type that goes back and forth with enough space for a can. It compresses a can against a bulkhead type stop, and there is a hole in front of the bulkhead big enough to let a crushed can drop into a garbage can.
Kind of hard to explain , but they work.
