 LITERATURE REVIEW

Plastic causes serious environmental problems. Although they are

not intrinsically dangerous, they take up a huge amount of space
in landfills and they are made from non-renewable resources,
namely fossil fuels.

For this reasons it is important that, where possible plastics are

recycled. The use of plastic is increased now days in many
industries like automobile, packaging, medical, etc. The reason
behind this is that the plastic made things are quiet easier to
manufacture, handle and reliable to use. So the plastic goods
manufacturing industries are striving hard to produce good quality
products at large scale and cheaper cost.

The hydraulically operated machines solve the problem, but they

are too costlier for small scale and medium scale industries. This
project deals with design and fabrication of pneumatically
operated injection plastic molding machine.

Now a days the plastic bottles, supporting frames etc. are

normally used after use these plastics are disposed of they take
lot of space and as it is this increases pollution. Hence this can
have to be recycled taking in consideration and environmental
concerns.

Plastics crushed can be melted and can be used to produce

different kind of product but it is an extremely laborious work.
Hence we need a simple machine which will reduce the human
 WORKING OF MACHINE

 First of all, used plastics are gathered up and simultaneously

poured into Hopper.

 From this Hopper, plastic is passed to Heating Chamber

where the used plastic is heated up.

 In this chamber plastic is melted down removing all

impurities.

 Then, with the help of Pneumatic Cylinder the deformed

plastic is pushed to Die.

 At last a byproduct i.e. Washer is formed and it is collected

in the Tank.

 To withstand the machine Frames are used for the support

HAPPY STORY
The garbage was collected from every house.
The waste was dumped properly by garbage trucks.
HAPPY STORY
The separation of waste was done efficiently.
The work was under supervision.

SAD STORY
Due to heavy rain the surrounding air was contaminated because of
wet waste.
People living nearby were affected by polluted air.
SAD STORY
Animals were eating plastics in search of food.
The plastic waste was not being disposed properly leading to land
and soil pollution

 PRODUCT CONCEPT

Plastic recycling machine is a simple machine, compact, light-

weight.
A pneumatic cylinder is used to compress the molten plastic
heated by coil heater.
Liquid plastic is than delivered to high pressure to the die to
produce a required product.

CONLUSION
 We produce different varieties of product by just the
changing the die design.
 Waste materials are usually found littering all over the places
in our urban cities and villages.
 A polythene recycling machine was therefore designed and
manufactured using locally sourced and available materials.
 The manufactured recycling machine was found to very
useful absorbing the huge waste materials in our country.
 We have made washer by using plastic recycling machine
this washer can be used in assembling to absorb the
vibrations like the plastic springs are used in suspension
system.
