Abstract

India has a population of about 1.35 billion in 2020 and as fabrics account for 4% of India’s GDP, customers spend roughly 68 billion dollars on apparel and footwear each year. Currently, the short lifecycles of apparel products due to rapid fashion cycles and increased buying power of Indian consumers in urban as well as in rural areas are resulting in significant amounts of postconsumer textile waste in the form of used clothing. Denim is one of these prominent textile wastes, and while being formed of cotton fibres, it takes a long time for it to decompose in landfills. One of the crucial activities in the processing of post-consumer denim waste is cutting it to the necessary size. The motor-driven shredder machine can be used for cutting. Thus, this paper offers calculations of the designing of dual rotor electrical driven shredder machine. The major component of the shredder machine is shaft and blade of the machine. The geometry of blade, blade orientation, space between the blade is considered as the major variables in design the shredder blade. As orientation of blade affects the shredding performance, a spline shaft is designed to orient the blades in specific angles. The static analysis of shredder blade and shaft is performed using SolidWorks to ensure the safe design of the components of the shredder machine. This designed shredder machine is going to be utilized to shred the post consumer denim to make the composite denim board.
