Diseño de un prototipo de una máquina trituradora de plástico

Abstract

Nowadays we have a worldwide problem which is global pollution, for this reason we present this prototype of a PET plastic shredding machine due to the high consumption of materials such as plastic. This project is part of a local innovation solution because in the region of Guayaquil-Ecuador, despite the high consumption of plastic raw materials, therefore, the proposal made in this work has the contribution to innovate in the recycling of plastics and thus contribute to the transformation or treatment of plastic waste. On the other hand, PET type plastics can be easily crushed into small sizes that can then be used in various processes to identify products that are useful for humans or that have little negative impact on the environment. And in this sense, the work presented here develops a prototype whose parts and components are easy to manufacture or buy locally. Now this is part of a major environmental problem as it takes approximately 100 to 1000 years to degrade. According to researchers, this product has beneficial thermal and mechanical properties, chemical resistance, good fiber-forming capacity, low O2 and CO2 permeability, high performance, low cost and excellent recyclability to create new products.
