Proposta de retrofit para um equipamento de reciclagem de embalagem longa vida

Abstract

This work aims to propose the retrofit of long-life packaging recycling equipment. In doing so, it presents packaging materials that undergo a complex recycling process due to their multilayer composition. Despite the complexity, these materials offer numerous benefits to industries. The work also highlights the significant environmental impact resulting from incorrect disposal of these packages and the broader environmental consequences of urban solid waste generation. Therefore, the recycling process for these packages is of utmost importance. For this process to be efficient, the recycling equipment must also be effective. Through reverse engineering and on site measurements, the three-dimensional modeling of the hidrapulper and the former was successfully achieved. Drawing from literature, coursework experience, and benchmarking conducted to guide the development process, construction improvement point was identified, and a retrofit proposal was formulated. The process concludes with the successful three-dimensional modeling of the new proposal.
