Paper Title
Design and Fabrication of Crusher Machine for Plastic Wastes
Abstract
The paper is about design of a Plastic Bottle Crusher which would help to crush the used Plastic bottles and
would thereby help in waste management and disposal. This project aims to design a portable Plastic Bottle crusher that
could be installed anywhere and would aid crush of used bottles. This project involves the process of designing the crusher
considering forces required for crushing and ergonomic factor that an operator needs. The design of this machine is such that
it would require optimum load to crush bottles and will thus not strain the user or operator. After the completion of design
process, it could be manufactured and transformed into a Recycle aid able machine. The crusher thus would help in recycling
plastic waste. It would also help in reducing the volume of waste generated and will thus help in effective waste
management. The crushing of used water bottles will also ensure that the bottles are no used beyond the shelf life of its
plastic. Therefore this project will prove to be a useful asset in many ways.
