WITHDRAWN: AISI 316L stainless steel based compact paper recycling machine design for small and medium scale industries

Paper recycling is the process of turning waste paper into new paper products. The main objective of the current research work is to analyze the effectiveness of stainless steel based compact paper recycling machines for small scale industries and institutions such as schools, colleges, printing media, etc. At present paper recycling technology is being implemented in large scale industries as it requires enormous space and cost involved. In the current study, an attempt is made to design a compact recycling machine that is affordable for small scale industries and institutions to possess their paper recycling units. The mechanism comprises of hydro pulper, mould box, conveyors, rollers, and driers. It is capable of recycling the used papers and produce papers, cardboards, and egg trays. The thickness of the paper is controlled by setting the distance between the two finishing rollers using a spring set up. The process of recycling is broadly divided into three main categories that include collection of waste, manufacturing of new products, and purchasing. The main advantage of the machine is waste paper be converted into a useful product and thus reduce deforestation. The cost of recycling is reduced and is affordable by small industries. The simplicity of the operation of this machine ensures that a high level of technical skill is not essential for the process. The durability of the machine is high provided if adequately maintained. Since recycling is good for the environment, and if more and more people make use of it, it will address the problem of global warming.
