Abstract

In this study, the design and modeling of a shredding unit intended to fragment nonwoven waste fabrics and prepare them for recycling were carried out. Stress analyses were performed on the shaft attached to the blade, along with motor power and torque analyses required for smooth operation, and mass flow calculations. Mathematical models were developed based on these data. Additionally, structural analyses of the chassis, necessary for stable system operation, were conducted, resulting in a comprehensive mathematical model of the entire system.
