TI - Development of crushing machine to be suitable for crushing plastic residual l KW - Plastic scrap KW - Crushing machinery N1 - Includes references N2 - This research aims to achieve the best possible use of plastic waste through waste crushing plastic machine, to adapt these residues for the next operations ofwaste recycling, therefore reducing the pollution ofthe environment. Testing of the machine after proper modifications has been deduced during actual experiments for crashing plastic residual under different feeding rates (800, 1000 and 1200 kg/h), crushing drum speeds (500, 750 and 1000 rpm) and clearance between fixed and moved knives (20 and 30 mm). Whereas, the modified machine performance was evaluated in terms of the cutting length percentage, the machine productivity and machinery operating cost. The main results in this study can be summarized as follows: - • The proper performance was at feed rate of 1200 kg/h (1.2 ton/h) at a crushing drum speed of 1000 'pm (29.3 mI.,) and clearance between fIXed and moved knives of30 mm (3 ern). • Cut length percentage at these conditions was 97 % in cutting length of ?15-20 mm. • Productivity was 1200 kg/h. • Operational cost was 16.81 L.
