Design And Development Of An Automated Bottle Crushing Machine

Abstract

The Increasing Consumption Of Bottled Products Has Led To A Significant Rise In Plastic And Glass Waste, Creating Major Challenges For Waste Management And Environmental Sustainability. Conventional Disposal Methods Are Inefficient, Space-consuming, And Labour-intensive, Making Recycling Less Effective. This Project Presents The Design And Development Of An Automated Bottle Crushing Machine Aimed At Reducing Bottle Volume, Enabling Easy Handling, And Promoting Effective Recycling. The Proposed Machine Employs A Combination Of Mechanical Crushing Mechanisms And Electrical Motor Are Used By The Crushing The Bottles Into Small Piece Or Less Volume Bottles. Key Components Include A Yoke Mechanism,press And Connecting Rod, Motor-driven Crushing Unit, A Hopper Is Provided And A Collection System For Crushed Output. Automation Ensures Improved Safety, Reduced Manual Effort, And Consistent Operation. The Developed System Is Compact, Cost-effective, And Energy-efficient, Making It Suitable For Use In Public Places, Recycling Plants, And Industries Where Large Quantities Of Bottles Are Disposed Of Daily. By Significantly Reducing The Size Of Waste Bottles, The Machine Contributes To Efficient Storage, Transportation, And Recycling Processes, Thereby Supporting Environmental Conservation And Sustainable Waste Management Practices
