Lecturer Small Garbage Compactor Controlled by Hydraulic System

Abstract

The objective of this research project is to: 1)Design and create a small-scale hydraulic-controlled compacting machine for waste compression. 2)Transmit the technology of small-scale hydraulic-controlled waste compacting machine. 3) Enhance waste management systems by designing a small-scale hydraulic-controlled waste compacting machine using commercially available components. Additionally, the aim is to reduce production costs in order to provide a prototype machine to communities. This is due to the fact that existing waste compacting machines are expensive, large, and require a three-phase electrical system, making it impractical for community or local cooperative use.

          Therefore, this research project has designed a waste compaction system using a 5ton hydraulic cylinder with a stroke length of 1.4 meters. The system is controlled through a 1axis control valve and powered by a 1.5 horsepower motor driven hydraulic pump. As for the electrical system, a control cabinet is designed to operate at 220 volts, incorporating overload relays to protect the motor.
