This shredder is used to convert plastic waste into flakes that can be used in Precious Plastic projects.

We have a small selection of perforated metal plate (Lochblech) that could be adapted (cut and perhaps re-drilled) to be the "sieves" determining the particle size that comes out of the shredder.


Original Build

build instructions

Armin got the laser cut parts and two flange bearings in 2018.

Lukas contributed a piece of 27 mm (Schlüsselweite) hexagonal steel.

Components:

  • 3 kW, approx. 1500 rpm Drehstrom-Asynchron-Motor
  • gearbox: 20:1
  • electronic components:
    • emergency stop: TBD (similar to the one at the CNC router)
    • 1xMotorschutzschalter 6,3-10A Gekauftes Modell:
    • 2xLeistungsschutzschalter mit Hilfskontakten Gekauftes Modell: DIL EM 01 G mit 22 DIL E
    • 2xLeuchttaster für rechts- linkslauf
    • Stopp Taster
    • 3Phasen Hauptschalter

Missing:

Other materials include threaded rods and other metal parts that we should already have at the Space.
