Projecto de um triturador para reciclagem de resíduos termoplásticos pós consumo

Abstract

The exponential increase in plastic waste generation, along with growing awareness of environmental impacts, demands effective solutions for the disposal and recycling of these materials. This work aims to size a shredder for the mechanical recycling of thermoplastic polymers, contributing to pollution reduction and promoting the circular economy. The mechanical recycling process enables the recovery of discarded plastics, reducing the need for new raw materials and the volume of waste that accumulates in the environment. This study focuses on developing equipment capable of efficiently shredding thermoplastic polymers, considering parameters such as material strength, production capacity, and energy consumption optimization. The technical approach involves the precise sizing of components such as the rotor, blades, and cutting chamber, seeking to maximize efficiency and minimize operational costs. Based on mechanical engineering calculations, the shredder is designed to meet the challenges of plastic recycling, offering a functional and sustainable solution for the reuse of these materials.
