Abstract
The continuous mechanical complications and difficult operation that the rejected container
crushing machine presented, created the imminent need to optimize the equipment, to
achieve greater availability, efficiency and reduction in maintenance costs, for which the
implementation of a conveyor belt was formulated as new lifting mechanism for the
containers, for the container crusher it was proposed to increase the number of hammers
so as to increase efficiency and additionally change the type of steel in which the impact
hammers are built to achieve greater durability.
Conveyor belts turn out to be highly appropriate equipment for the transport of bulk
materials, their configurations offer numerous possibilities, including the ascent or descent
of material, in this document the calculation and selection of the elements that make up the
implemented conveyor belt were developed. and through which the transport of the
containers will be carried out until they are deposited inside the shredder, the shredding is
a process by which the size of an element or material is reduced, in this case the glass
containers are disintegrated by impacts generated by the hammers located on the drive
shaft.
With the implementation of the belt conveyor, it was achieved that the containers did not
break before entering the shredder, this eliminated the conditions of physical contamination
(glass particles) in the moving elements of the equipment and in the work area, thus avoiding
the Premature wear of mechanisms, increasing equipment availability, and eliminating
unsafe process conditions, additionally a 50% reduction in annual equipment maintenance
costs was achieved.
The crushing chamber increases its efficiency by 16% avoiding reprocessing this thanks to
the incorporation of eleven new impact hammers and a new distribution, AISI/SAE 4140
steel gives impact hammers greater resistance to abrasive wear compared to steel AISI/SAE
1020.
