The drive unit for double-roll waste shredder

This is my bachelor thesis. The work contains basic description of shredding process. It also contains a list of usually used shredders with their construction design.

 

The next section is about design drive unit. First is design of powertrain, coupling and then design of transmission. Gearbox consists from design gears, bearings and shafts. These components are checked for durability and strength. Countershaft is controlled for static a dynamic strength.

Cutting segments
  • cutting and slicing

  • strips or pieces of waste

  • large tensile stress

Double-roll waste shredder
  • Line for waste recycling

 

Shredding:

  • wood, paper, textiles, oil filters, tires, plastics and electrical waste

  • hour capacity between 1500 to 2500 kg / hour
