1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Objectives: Main Objective: • To design, fabricate & test the Plastic Extruder Machine. Special Objectives: • To research and test different types of waste plastic’s pallets on extruder machine. • To produce plastic filaments from our surrounding plastic waste. • To test the produced plastic filaments on 3D printer. 12/25/2017

1.2 Background: • Plastic extrusion machine is a machine which melts plastic flakes inserted into the hopper and extrudes it into a line of plastic. • Extrusion machine can create filament, granulate or creative art working with moulds. • Blends differently colored plastics together and outputs a homogeneous and smooth color. • Increases recyclability of plastics.

1.3 Problem Statement: • Daily use of plastics are increasing day to day. • The plastics industry releases 14% of the total toxic gas that went into the air. • The filaments we use for 3D printer is manufactured from synthesis of raw materials on industry and are costly. • Waste plastics causes environment pollution due to its stability.

1.4 Justification: • All plastic laying around is a resource with great potentials and opportunities waiting to be discovered. • Opportunity to eliminate plastic pollution by creating something new. • Fabrication of plastic extrusion machine is a small step towards the plastic waste management. • Our project aim is to make optimum use of local waste plastic resource into something usable, acceptable and affordable.

12/25/2017

1.5 Expected Outcomes: • Development of an affordable plastic extrusion machine. • Extrusion of plastic will be easier and economical as compared to the industrial method of extrusion. • Encouragement towards locally manufactured products from available plastic resources. • Import from other countries will decrease.

EXTRUSION THEORY: The extruder can be considered as one of the core piece of machinery in the plastic processing industry. To extrude means to thrust out a plastic material in any kind of form with the desired cross-section through a die. The shape of material will depend on the die opening, and it will change to some extent as it exits from the die. The extruder output is commonly referred to as the extrudate.

PLASTIC TYPES: 1. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET or PETE): Properties: Clarity, lightness, strength, toughness, a barrier to liquid and gas.

2. High-density polyethylene (HDPE): Properties: Stiffness, strength, toughness, resistance to moisture, permeability to gas, ease of processing.

3. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): Properties: Versatility, ease of blending, strength, toughness, clarity, transparency.

4. Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE): Properties: Strength, toughness, flexibility, resistance to moisture, ease of sealing, ease of processing.

5. Polypropylene (PP): Properties: Strength, toughness, resistance to heat, chemicals, grease & oil, barrier to moisture.

Different Types of Extruders: There are mainly 4 types of filament extruders: a. Single screw extruders

Screw Extruders (continuous) b. Multi screw extruder

Spiral disk extruder, Disk pack extruder Drum extruder Stepped disk extrude

b. Elastic melt extruders

Screw less extruder Screw or disk type melt extruder

Ram extruders

Reciprocating single screw extruders 12/25/2017

Twin screw extruders Gear pumps Planetary gear extruders multi(>2) screw extruders

1. Single Screw Extruders: • These contains single screw to compress and extrude the materials.

2. Multi-screw Extruders: In a general description, a multi-screw extruder is an extruder consisting of more than one Archimedean screws. The early twin screw extruders, developed by Roberto Colombo and Carlo Pasquetti in the late 1930s.

3. Disc Extruder:

• Disk extruders are among the types of extruders that do not utilize an Archimedean screw for the transport of the material. • Disk extruder was invented in 1950.

4. Ram Extruders:

• Ram extruders are normally simple extruders • These contain ram to press the material.

GENERAL PRODUCTS OF EXTRUSION: 1. Pipes Extrusion: Generally PVC pipes, electricity pipes, water pipes etc. 2. Plastic Films: Food packaging plastics, wrapping plastics 3. Extrusion Coating and Laminating: In this method,secondary objects are coated and laminated by plastic. 4. Cable Coating: Cable insulation and the coating is also done by an extruder. 5. Extrusion Blow Molding:

DIFFERENT SIZES OF EXTRUDERS: 1. Laboratory Extruder: Laboratory extruders are suitable for Laboratory Testing, Research. 2. Pilot Extruder: The pilot screw extruders have been able to produce thinner profiles but the machine’s heating power is not enough to melt large amounts of material quickly. 3. Production Extruder: Production extruders are of large scale which are used in mainly mass product extrusion.
