DESIGN & FABRICATION OF MACHINE TO EXTRACT THE OIL FROM WASTE PLASTIC

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

The study focused on the design and fabrication of a machine to extract base oil from waste plastic as an effort in finding environment-friendly means of waste recycling. This is the basic idea behind the paper. Beside helping to remove a lot of plastic waste generated thus creating a neat and tidy environment. It also helps to generate fuel which when converted to convenient form can be used as a source of energy The Pyrolysis process was the basis in the design and fabrication of the equipment. It is a prototype/laboratory scale model that will serve as baseline in developing technology for energy recovery from waste plastics. The main components were the reactor assembly, condensing chamber, vapor line assembly, and the waste water collecting unit. The conversion of waste plastics into fuel is depend upon the type of the plastic that to be used for the conversion
