ELECTRIC POWERED GLASS PULVERIZER: AN INNOVATION

Title of Thesis

Brief Rationale
This study aims to design and fabricate a function model of a machine that can crush and
pulverize. The researchers used descriptive and developments study to come up with a functional
and efficient model. The Glass Bottle Crusher Machine is design thoroughly well on crushing and
pulverizing process. G.I. Sheets are used as the flesh structure of the device. It also serves as the
panel box on the electrical relays and switch. Belts and Pulley are used as speed and power
transmitting bodies. Electric motors were used as the main source of transmitting power and
speed. ½ HP motor is used in rotating the pulleys and belts. The other motor uses ¼ HP. It was
used to stir the blade with moderate speed and high power with an installed switch that is
manually operated. A spinner is also installed it is the moving component that is contained by a
vessel that is utilize as evolving blades to hammer the glass bottle to an even size.

Objectives
The purpose of this study is to make awareness of an innovative way of disposing glass bottle
wastes without harming anyone or anything by crushing the bottles into fine pieces to be recycled
and be used for another glass manufacturing process. And to make a machine that can be used
even in households and especially other establishments that have a lot bottle wastes. And also
another purpose is to encourage other researchers to find a better way of making or thinking
another approach to improvise on how to deal with this problem, so that by doing so, we make
solutions that could give us an easier way to solve this problem.

Methodology

This study of researchers employed descriptive and developmental methods. The planning and
design involved an excessive analysis of all ideas given by the members of the group. Several ideas
have been made until an initial concept of the design was produced. From this concept the “Glass
Bottle Crusher Machine” that can be used to reduce the decomposition process during non-
biodegradable life cycles. Step by step of planning procedure is necessary to procure designing,
fabrication, testing and planning. The Glass Bottle Crusher Machine is design thoroughly well on
crushing and pulverizing process. G.I. Sheets are used as the flesh structure of the device. It also
serves as the panel box on the electrical relays and switch. Belts and Pulley are used as speed and
power transmitting bodies. Electric motors were used as the main source of transmitting power
and speed. ½ HP motor is used in rotating the pulleys and belts. The other motor uses ¼ HP. It
was used to stir the blade with moderate speed and high power with an installed switch that is
manually operated. A spinner is also installed it is the moving component that is contained by a
vessel that is utilize as evolving blades to hammer the glass bottle to an even size.
