Abstract

Used plastics are all around us. Their production is excessive and presents a big problem today and an even bigger problem for the future. They are used very often for their positive qualities. Just as the pros also have their negatives. One of the biggest drawbacks is the decomposition time of this kind of a waste. Separation, collection, and recycling should be taken for granted, but they are not. Plastic waste management is a very inefficient process because plastics take up a lot of space at low weight. The use of crushers, the reduction of waste should play a major role; especially in reducing the logistical costs of plastic handling and preparation for further recycling steps. This article describes the possible design of a plastic waste shredder, with key parts and visualization of a machine. An important part is the solution of the crushing mechanism itself, which plays a key role in the operation of the equipment. This project was solved at the Department of Design and Machine Elements.
