Design and Constructing of a Scrap Collecting Machine from the Production Process of Plastic films

Abstract

This research aims to study The design and forming machine the storage scrap from the production process of plastic films, to be recycled to minimize loss from storage without being used as a waste and increase the cost. A case study of a plastic films manufacturer in Chonburi province.
Therefore, it is designed a device known as a machine storage scrap using the power of the motor drive belts and pulleys. Make the rollers rotated clamps and pull the plastic film is reused immediately by using a motor-driven 2HP/ 1600 RPM in drive rollers, because the size and speed of the motor is equal to the main production machinery. The debris plastics films can be pulled at 54.84 metres per minute, and the size of the roller length 1.02 metres, diameter roller spacing 0.76 metres, distance between the rollers 5 centimetres. The structure of the machine height 1.52 metres. and width of 1.27/ 1.27 metres, and pull the plastic film scrap into strips to make it easy and convenient for recycling new trial machine. The results of the trial with such machine, it can pull the plastic film in a daily average of about 2000 kilograms, making plastic film that becomes waste is reduced. It also resulted in a production
increase of 89.8% on average.
