REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter will present the related literature and studies after the thorough

and in-depth search done by the researchers. This will also present the machine

design, fabrication and testing of the project to fully understand how the machine to

be made and how it works and lastly, the research flow containing the procedures in

doing the research.

RELATED LITERATURE

Rope weaver is a machine that is used to make a rope out of the chose material.

RELATED STUDIES

Saad, Nadgmi & Bashah (2017) build a fetch and spin’s machine capable of

processing plastic bottles into new plastic products which is straps and rope. Then, it

was tested with the Universal Testing Machine to test the strength of different types

of plastic rope produced. The results from the carried out experiment is quite

surprisingly, it shows that the PET bottle plastic have high strength characteristic

where Revive bottle got 22.38 N/mm2, Mountain Dew bottle got 18.72 N/mm2, Coca

cola bottle got 19.57 N/mm2, and 100 Plus bottle only got 11.27 N/mm2 for some

reasons maximum stress applied. This test result indicates that PET rope is almost as

strong as the rope at the market which is 22 N/mm2 at the same size of cross

section.

Tachwali (2005) presents a thesis about Automatic Plastic Bottle Sorting and

Classification System for recycling. The sorting is based on bottle material chemical

composition using near infrared spectrometer as well as on the bottle color using
charged coupled device (CCD0 camera. These test were performed to evaluate the

proper NIR spectrometer hardware setup for the automatic plastic bottle sorting

project. The final outcome of the research is a plastic recycling station that can sort

and classify plastic bottles based on their chemical composition and color.
