Abstract

Plastic waste, which is difficult to decompose, poses a significant environmental hazard. This study aims to analyze the effect of filter diameter on shredding outcomes of a 250 kg/hour plastic shredding machine. Experimental methods were used with HDPE and PP plastics and filter diameters of 16 mm and 20 mm. Results showed that the 16 mm filter yielded better efficiency for HDPE at 82.08%, while the 20 mm filter achieved the highest efficiency at 167.4% for HDPE. For PP, the 20 mm filter yielded the highest efficiency at 44.88%. The findings highlight that filter diameter significantly affects machine performance, with optimal results observed with the 20 mm filter for HDPE.

Abstract

Plastic waste is one of the most significant contributors to waste production in Indonesia, reaching 65.2 million tons per year. Efforts to reduce waste volume are carried out by shredding plastic into smaller sizes to facilitate recycling. This study aims to analyze the production capacity, quality, and efficiency of a rotating blade-based plastic shredding machine and to determine the necessary maintenance to sustain its long-term performance. The method employed is a quantitative approach, which involves recording and analyzing data from machine tests using 10 samples of HDPE and PP plastic. The results indicate that the machine's production capacity for HDPE plastic is 3.43 kg/min, while for PP plastic, it is 1.42 kg/min. The study concludes that the rotating blade-based plastic shredding machine is effective in processing plastic waste, with results varying based on the type of plastic material.
