Abstract

Indonesia produces many types of textile products, such as clothing and custom fabrics often with unique patterns. To generate the patterns, there are many methods, including eco-printing by pounding process. However, the process, which was later referred to as eco-pounding, requires much time and energy, which can have a negative impact, such as musculoskeletal disorders, on the human body. To address this issue, the present work proposes a machine that can help the process of eco-pounding. Shigley’s method is applied to guide the design process of the machine. The design and manufacturing processes of the eco-pounding machine are presented, in which three machine design models are first introduced and then analyzed for finalization by benchmarking method. Subsequently, a machine model that uses a so-called quad-cliff mechanism is selected for manufacturing and testing. As a result, the proposed machine can achieve the design requirements that were set. Three pounding movements per second can be obtained by the machine, with possible increases by an engine upgrade. This machine can be considered a prototype for a semi-automatic eco-printing process by pounding technique.

Abstract

The depletion of petroleum reserves, rising fossil fuel demand, and increasing plastic waste pollution highlight the need for alternative fuels. This study investigated the performance and exhaust emissions of a direct-injection diesel engine fueled with waste cooking oil biodiesel blended with plastic pyrolysis oil at concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% (B+A5 to B+A20). Biodiesel was produced through degumming, esterification, and transesterification, while plastic pyrolysis oil was obtained via thermal cracking. Engine tests under a constant load across a range of engine speeds evaluated brake power, brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC), brake thermal efficiency (BTE), and exhaust emissions. The results indicate that increasing the proportion of plastic pyrolysis oil improved engine performance compared to pure biodiesel. The B+A20 blend provided the best overall performance, with 44.4% higher power output, 39.6% higher BTE, and 30% lower BSFC than biodiesel, although performance remained below conventional diesel. Regarding emissions, B+A20 reduced CO by 16.3% relative to biodiesel and slightly reduced CO₂ (1%), while NOx increased by 59.7%, highlighting a trade-off between improved performance and NOx control. Overall, blending waste cooking oil biodiesel with plastic pyrolysis oil enhances renewable fuel performance and valorizes plastic waste, but further measures are needed to mitigate NOx emissions.
