DESIGN & FABRICATION OF PAPER BAG MAKING MACHINE

Mechanical Engineering

For a daily requirement of carrying goods is carried out by the plastic bags. But plastic bags are hazardous for our environment so we replace it with a paper bag from brown paper which is pollution free and easily degradable or recycle. The machine that already exist is used for making bags from other material such as drawing sheets, brown paper and paper rolls are very expensive. Ultimately it can be improve by some other investigator and overcome this problem. This bag has comparatively large in size and for making these bags uses a complex machine. We have proposed a cheap, portable paper bag making machine, fabricated to produce paper bag and reduce the usage of plastic bags for a clean, safe and green society. The system is semi-automatic which is capable of producing a paper bag from any waste paper. The system can be implemented in a small scale industry for producing paper bag and it will automatically minimize the trend of plastic bags. The main components of this machine include pedestal bearing, pneumatic cylinder, folding SS arms, compressor, cutter, puncher, speed reduction mechanism. The shaft that turns a machine does not always match the speed available from the motor. For our operation we required low speed with high torque but the speed of the motor is too high. Hence, to reduce the speed we use speed reduction mechanism.
