Title

Fabrication of Equipment & Manufacturing of Plastic Blocks from Waste Plastic & Result Investigation

Abstract

Any man-made thing would have a flaw which becomes vivid sooner or later.”Plastic” undoubtedly an extraordinary invention of 20th Century, but none gave a serious thought to recycle it until mankind started facing the depth of managing waste plastic. This project experiments one of the sustainable and effective ways of managing plastic waste in urban and rural parts of India in order to minimize their adverse environmental impacts. After studying the whole scenario, there seems to be an effective way of utilizing the plastic waste and recycling it into plastic blocks which might withstand the high amount of pressure. However, due to some physical and chemical properties of plastic which can be disadvantageous to the block created from it, some changes in its design and manufacturing processes can be made to make it an ideal one apart from making it at very low cost to fill the potholes. This project mainly uses different plastics like HDPE (high density polyethylene), PET & other types for recycling. First, the waste is shredded and thereby heated unto its plasticity zone to make sure that it won’t emit any kind of harmful gases into the atmosphere. By using different molds we can obtain different sizes of the plastic blocks which can be called as bricks or blocks depending upon the size of it, which are then tested for Compressive strength, Impact load, Hardness, Absorption of water and Efflorescence. As the results are satisfactory these blocks can be used to fill the potholes, for construction purposes, Railway sleepers, for the paver blocks, Roof Tiles etc depending upon the need of the hour, due to their high compressive strength.

Key Words

Plastic waste, Shredding, Moulds, Heating Chamber, Plunger, Hydraulic compression, Plastic Blocks,Plastic Bricks
