Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in the rotational speed of an electric motor on shredding capacity and the average size of shredded output in a plastic waste shredding machine. The method used is an experimental approach by conducting direct tests on a shredding machine using a single-phase electric motor with a power of 2 HP, with speed variations of 600 rpm, 900 rpm, and 1200 rpm. The test materials include plastic bottles, plastic bags, and cardboard, with a shredding time of 2 minutes for each test. The observed parameters include the mass of shredded material, shredding capacity (kg/h), and the average size of the shredded output. The results show that the highest shredding capacity for plastic bottles and plastic bags was achieved at a speed of 900 rpm, reaching 25.20 kg/h and 13.50 kg/h, respectively, while for cardboard material, the highest capacity was obtained at 600 rpm, reaching 28.59 kg/h. These findings indicate that increasing rotational speed does not always result in the highest shredding capacity for all materials, as the physical characteristics of the materials influence the shredding performance.
