Solid Waste Management – Compact Twin Shaft Shredder

Abstract

The key objective of the article is to design and build a small shredding machine that is conceptually designed with a focus on the production of dry leaves, areca leaves, chopped dry materials, and worm compost. This idea was produced by taking into account four slicing machines with various operations and operating procedures. The idea was designed with consideration for the customers' safety. A three-stage motor, bearings, cutter, structural frame, spur gear, and dual shafts make up the machine. High carbon steel, which is also used to make cutter tips and soft steel, is applied for making the machine's frame. Two shafts with sixteen cutters placed on them rotate parallel to the spur gear. The cutter shaft receives power from the electric motor through the belt drive. Tensile and friction inside the cutting house cause the cutting process. The chopped powder is gathered in a dish at the bottom after the dried leaves are chopped and reduced in size. It is simple to use and has a small footprint.
