Hello everyone, friends. I’m from Rostov on the Don, Russia. We have a World Cup here in the summer) come to visit)
On the topic: I’m studying the issue of creating a shredder. Laser cut already ordered, it remains to pay. At once there was a question – if the steel is not stainless it will strongly affect the work?)
But the main problem for me is the engine. We simply do not have such. Now I search the Internet to find something more or less sane.
I will blog on youtube, just immediately warn – English I have bad, I will lead in Russian, but the subtitles will be)
See you soon!
Hello! Almost ready for my shredders!
I’ve been looking for a shredder for a week, but I just can not find it (
In the meantime, I created a group in the most widespread social network in Russia VKontakte and the channel in the Telegram! Subscribe and share skills https://vk.com/precious_plastic https://t.me/joinchat/DClTlw4AgdQJ2D3JpQLXQA
Hello! While waiting for the heaters bought stickers to sort the plastic)
I ground some bottles and PET. But today a misfortune happened – the condenser for the engine was covered. Since I have 1 phase network without a capacitor, the motor will not work. Tomorrow I’m going to the market to buy a new condenser)
Finished the workplace of the injector) It remains to buy heaters and thermostats.
On the next photo – we cut out the forms for the injector on the CNC
Hi, yes the speed is big enough, but PP grinds at all without stopping. The lid is not particularly hampered – so while there is no need for a new engine), and in Russia there are still a few enterprises that make both electric motors and reducers)
I think the motor is too fast, if you reduce 50% speed you will have 50% torque without change motor, in add the plastic will shredd better with nop hands needed (very very dangerous). I think you could change the blade orientations too.
If you will not find a motor I could ask here if is possible to send in russia but It will be expensive I think…about 100€ shipping.
Today I reprocessed color HDPE. Very good at it. Question to the experts – what is the power of your engines? I have a snack with thick plastic Recycling HDPE
The difference with using or not using stainless steel is that stainless is a bit harder (not a big issue), and it will not rust (bigger issue if your material that you are shredding is wet).
The motor is usually the hard part, finding the right one to a good price.
The best is to find a motor with reducer that gives you about 60rpm +/- 10.
In my case I did find a motor, and a separate reducer.
Hello everyone, friends! My spare parts came for the shredder, it remains to carve the shaft and cut out the corners. Today, I primed all the parts, since the parts are not made of stainless steel
and perfect!
