Diseño del mecanismo triturador de un molino de martillos para el procesamiento de vidrio reciclado usando MEF.

Abstract

Crushing machines are devices used in the size reduction of various solid materials ranging from rock to foodstuffs such as corn. Hammer mills are machines that use mechanical impact as a method of crushing between the material to be crushed and a collision element called impact hammer. This project develops the design of the crushing mechanism for a hammer mill to reduce the size of glass bottles from recy cling. This design is carried out first by means of a theoretical analysis to establish the dimensions of the main elements of the mechanism, and after this, a computer simulation is carried out by means of the finite element method using the computer aided engineering software ANSYS. Subsequently, a decision is made for the final value of the dimensions of the parts. With the parts defined, a cost analysis is performed to get an approximate idea of the cost for the manufacturing of the mechanism..
