crate training- help!!

Hi there.

I am trying to get my puppy used to staying in his crate while im not there.
i am leaving him for ten minuits at a time but how long in between should i leave it? ive been doing ten mins every hour.
When i go to him after ten mins hes worn him self out so much buy moaning and barking that he the sleeps for quite a while. its proving quite hard, do i keep persisting?
he has toys, blanket and food and water there, but he just wont settle.
ive tried leaving him in a room with the crate door open but he just completely wrecks the place!
how long should it take for a puppy to get used to a crate?
Any help would be so greatful!!
