    Metal Shredder

    Uploaded by

    Jikni Noble
    A 20 hp AC motor operating at 500 rpm and 91% efficiency is selected to power a metal shredder. The shredder needs to operate at 200 rpm. Calculations determine the motor can transmit 13 hp of power to the shredder. Gear losses are estimated at 2% and 1%, resulting in approximately 5.9 hp required on each of the two shafts powering the shredder to achieve the needed 200 rpm operating speed. Links are provided to catalogs with examples of suitable shredders and motors.

    METAL SHREDDER

    CALCULATION
    Solving for the power
    A 20 hp AC motor, cast iron with 500rpm and 91% efficiency is selected

    t=
    The shredding rubber is required to be at 200rpm
     Power transmitted by the motor
    Design Hp =20hp (91)
    =18.2 Hp

     Belt design considerations:


    Belt material: Rubber
    Pulley material: Cast iron
    Speed of small sheave: 500 rpm
    Speed of big sheave: 200 rpm
    Service: 8- 10 hrs. /day

    Solving for Design hp


    Design Hp = Nsf (Transmitted Hp)
    Where:
    Nsf = Service Factor Table 17.7(Faires, p.466), 1.6 for driven machine is
    hammer mils (closest
    comparison to metal shredder) and driving machine is AC normal torque,
    subtract 0.2 for operation
    under 16 hr./day service, seasonal or intermittent.
    Nsf = 1.6 - 0.2= 1.4
    Design Hp = 1.4 (Transmitted Hp)
    Design 18.2Hp = 1.4 (Transmitted Hp)
    Transmitted Hp =13 Hp
    Solving fir shaft1 and shaft2 power
    Loss per pair of spur gear: 2%
    Loss in the mesh of gear: 1%
    =12.35hp x 0.97
    = 11.9795 hp

    The power on two shaft are equal,


    (P/n) + P = PT where: P = power on each shaft
    n = efficiency, 0.97
    (P/0.97) + P = 11.9795 hp
    P = 5.89535533 Hp (power on each shaft)
