Abstract

Waste is an ongoing environmental issue, escalating with the increasing human population on Earth. Plastic waste, commonly found in Temporary Storage Places (TPS) for waste, poses a significant concern. In the Condongcatur area, one TPS produces waste with a daily volume of 1022 m3, consisting of 52% plastic waste. The percentage of plastic waste can be calculated using the density of PET at 1.35 gr/cm3, resulting in a daily mass of approximately 717 kg.

To solve this problem, a vertical hydraulic press machine with a capacity of 1000 kg has been designed. The 1000 kg capacity press machine utilizes a hydraulic cylinder with CHSG (SMC) specifications, featuring a bore diameter of 40 mm, rod diameter of 22 mm, and an 800 mm stroke. The calculated working pressure is 93 bar, necessitating a hydraulic pump with a capacity of 6.62 CC/REV, a hydraulic motor with a power capacity of 1.5 KW or 2 HP, and a full load speed of 1400 rpm. The required hydraulic tank capacity is a minimum of 8 liters, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire system. This press machine effectively compacts plastic waste, saving space, and facilitating the recycling process.
