CHAPTER 1
PROJECT BACKGROUND
A significant problem in an increasing population is the tremendous amount of waste generated, posing problems to garbage management for both
consumers and waste collection companies, and furthermore, to the environment. Landfills, for many years, have been one of the conventional
methods used in waste separation and management which is, however, expensive as the volume of garbage increases, therefore, the introduction of
waste shredder. The shredders are useful machines for the volume reduction of bulky waste such as reams of paper, paper materials, bumpers,
tires, refrigerators and the shredding of different materials such as scrap iron, aluminum, copper, plastic as well as municipal solid waste and
industrial waste.
The study of waste shredder machine that will minimize the space needed for wastes, specifically plastic wastes, to allow easy storage and
transportation of waste. The project as whole compliments the purpose of fabricating a device as an application of the fundamentals in machine
elements and design, and more importantly, contribute in providing solutions in the environmental implications of waste mismanagement.
1.1 Discussion
1.1.1 The use of shredders in recycling
In today’s economic environment, communities and businesses are always looking for new ways of cutting costs and use of shredders provides new
strategic options. There are two main purposes of shredding materials in a recycling process. Firstly, by reducing the volume of material through
reduction, transportation and storage costs may be decreased. Secondly, automated shredders, particularly in e-waste recycling, also liberate
materials for recycling. Such equipment is offered by several vendors. Many options are available, depending upon the specific application.
1.2.2 Shredder
A shredder is a machine or equipment used for shredding. Shredding systems are used to reduce the size of a given material. While most online
dictionaries define the shredder as “a device used for shredding documents as a security measure to prevent identity theft," shredders can be of
many types based on the material being processed. There are shredders designed to support material reduction across a range of recycling
applications, including plastic recycling, e-waste recycling, scrap metal, tire recycling, and wood recycling.
The shredding process produces raw material to be re-introduced into manufacturing, as well as finished products such as landscape mulch. Various
terminology is used to describe size reduction equipment, including grinders, chippers, granulators and hammer mills. Overall, their main function is
to reduce the size of a given material. (Rick LeBlanc, 2016)
CHAPTER 2
DESIGN INPUT
In this chapter, the proponents will address the factors and constraints in designing the Shredding Machine Composing of Cross-cutting Square
Teeth which includes function and operation, materials and mechanisms, safety and performance requirements. Therefore, the study seeks to
design an alternative for the conventional shredder blade for the system, wherein the group will refer to existing waste shredding devices and
systems in the literature review. The materials that are subject to the machine’s operation are mainly recyclable materials that are usually non-
biodegradable, such as plastic bottles and aluminum cans, and are not combustible, toxic or poisonous which may hinder its performance. The
appropriate materials will be selected in the fabrication of the system design according to their physical properties, design constraints and tradeoffs
in which the selected material(s) must possess adequate strength and toughness to withstand varying loads.
The design criteria or design consideration used in the tables are based on the consideration constraints of the design. The decision criteria for determi
Below show the corresponding criteria on a scale of 0 to 5 (5 - Great, 4 - Better, 3 - Good, 2 – Little, 1- Less and 0 - None).
The selection of material for frame of the design is between three different materials as given below:

In pursuing to manufacture the shredding machine, the proponents were involved in thorough computation in the parts of the machine. The
constraints given was considered in the design to achieve the objectives of the project. Proper materials are used in computation for the actual
machine. The data that are used is based on the input design.

For the pair wise comparison, the tabulated data show that allows proponents to pick which is the most important than the others. The 3 most
important constraints for the proponents are Health and Safety, Environmental and Societal that based on the percentage from the gathered
votes/data. The proponents considered the Health and Safety of the client/user of the project while also considering the environmental was given the
most importance by the proponents. The society will ask about the project if the used materials is safe or not.
4.2 Trade-Offs
Since the proponents are only developing a prototype, they have only chosen three out of five constraints for its development which is sustainability,
environmental and economic. Based on the results of the Pairwise Comparison, were the gathered data is collected by having the proponents vote
for the constraints which they think is of the utmost importance. The proponents came to a conclusion of valuing sustainability the most while
environmental and economical having the same level of importance.
4.3 Design Standards
The project design conforms to the standards of the Code wherein will be broken down and discussed further into the chapter. Chapter 3, Article 1 of
the PMC enumerates the general requirements in a such projects:
302.0 Approval
302.1 How Obtained. Each equipment or appliance shall comply with applicable internationally and nationally recognized standards as evidenced by
the listing and label of an approved agency 303.0 Installation
303.1 Listed Appliances. The installation of listed equipment or appliances regulated by this code shall conform to the conditions of its listing. The
equipment of appliance installer shall leave the manufacturers installation and operating instructions attached to the appliance. Clearances of listed
appliances from combustible materials shall be specified in the listing or on the rating plate.
This chapter presents the summary of the study, the conclusions drawn and findings of the study are discussed and interpreted, and
recommendations made as an outgrowth of the design.
5.2 Conclusion
The proponents were able to design and fabricate a mechanical device applying fundamental principles and concepts in machine elements and
design. Following the set of guidelines given allowed the proponents in creating a working prototype that would help in minimizing waste volume for
ease of disposal, transfer and storage. The introduction of the prototype raised awareness of proper waste management and disposal in the
institution.
5.3 Recommendations
While conducting this project, the proponents have developed several recommendations to make this project improve. By observing how the project
works, there are a lot of new ideas that can make the machine more useful. Changing its teeth to shred the material into more advanced design will
help to upgrade also the material that can be shred in the machine. Thus, the proponents recommend that selecting the best kinds of metals to
make a new and improve design of this project for the industries. However, this design is intended only for medium scale and small-scale shredding.
The materials should only be used that the teeth of the shaft can handle.
Costing of materials are shown below with quantity and specification; some materials have no cost because they are recycled materials.
