Abstract

In this study, cutter blades were designed to shred nonwoven waste fabrics by being positioned on an existing shaft. In this context, the design was carried out by considering the shear stress and density of the material to be shredded. During the design process, the total deformation conditions on the cutting surface were examined, and the stress concentration regions were identified using the von Mises approach to determine the necessary mechanical properties of the cutter blade. At this stage, the most suitable cutting tool material was selected. To ensure the torque from the motor is evenly distributed to the cutting edges and to meet the requirements of the material to be cut/shredded as well as the targeted machine capacity, various tool geometries were created and designed. In this context, analyses were performed to determine the effect of the selected geometries on the load distribution on the cutting edges, and the optimal tool geometry was decided.
