Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to LoRa and IoT based Addon Solution for External Control of HDPE Shredder in Large Container Shredding
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention addresses the problem of the need for an advanced and efficient control system for HDPE shredders used in large-scale container shredding operations. Conventional control systems sometimes don't offer enough flexibility or remote accessibility, which makes it difficult to manage the shredder as effectively as possible. Inadequate communication infrastructure makes it difficult to get timely information about the shredder's state of operation, which can lead to inefficiencies and downtime.
IES20110476A2 - This invention relates to a shredding device, and in particular a device for shredding containers such as plastic barrels/bins or the like, and is intended for use in shredding and therefore reducing the volume of such plastic drums before sending the containers to be recycled. The device comprises at least one cutting edge rotatable about an axis of rotation such that the cutting edge describes a conic surface of revolution, and an actuator operable, in use, to urge the container against the cutting edge.
Research Gap: The addition of a wireless solution through LoRa and IoT enables remote control of HDPE Shredders, marking the novelty within the plastic industry.
CN204712309U - "The utility model discloses a kind of efficient plastic crusher, comprising a shell, feed hopper, base plate, spring, and supporting leg. Two intermeshing pulverization rollers are installed in the middle of the shell, each fixed with several crushing teeth. Above the pulverization roller are two symmetrical conveyer belts, with belt pulleys at both ends, obliquely installed to form a bucket-shaped entrance. Below the pulverization rollers, a cutting blade operates alongside multiple fixed blades on the shell's inner wall. A filter screen of arcuate structure is situated below the cutting blade, and a water jet with nozzles is embedded within the shell for cooling. The lower end of the base plate features a vibrating motor. The utility model's simple and reasonable structure significantly enhances crush efficiency and effect, lowers operational temperatures, and extends the cutting tool's life."
