Diseño y construcción de una máquina trituradora de botellas plásticas para la Universidad Técnica de Manabí

Abstract

In the present titration work, the design was developed through calculations, study of characteristics that were in accordance with the operation that is sought, complying with all the necessary parameters to proceed with the construction of a plastic bottle crushing machine, successfully a team of Ideal crushing that will reduce the contamination of this type of plastic material at the Technical University of Manabi. After the investigation carried out, the machine was built with materials according to the proposed design, the blades were molded in AISI D2 steel subjected to a tempering work in order to harden the blades adapting them to the knife holders, these were molded in A36 steel 18 mm hot plate, as well as everything that makes up the crushing box and the rest of the machine such as the hoppermade with 2mm black plate, structures and other parts of the machine made with 12mm black plate It was determined that the crushing equipment has a capacity of 17,34 Kg in one hour of work, the blades have the capacity to crush 1,4 tons/h, with an efficiency of 75%, giving as a product obtained plastic in the form of flakes or small pieces of the PET material that can be used to make other products.
