Design of the HDD Shredder – Part 2



Hello Everyone from around the world.

I am still willing to build an HDD / Multimedia Shreddder – because I am thinking that plenty of really important resources are in the stuff we all dont need anymore.

Okay I want to present you what I am willing to build , only as a text because I have till jet designed nothing.

Specification:

  • Voltage 230V or 380V ( electric motors which I am finding are 3 phase )
  • Motor Power : 2,2kW -3kW ( for your purpose you can calculate it yourself : here is an link to file which allows that – https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/q43wg9j08t6jyq4gfuq3v/obliczenia-momentu-obrotowego.xlsx?dl=0&rlkey=ii8eh4pw3307usj8jhejt6eb5
  • Torque around 7000-8000Nm
  • 3RPM ( when motor 2.2kW)
  • Time to shredd 1 HDD out of Aluminium alloy – 20s
  • Number of teeths : 3-6 ( when 3 teeths – then output will be bigger, when 6 teeths – small clean output )
  • Numbers of axes – 2
  • Material – teeths should be made out of : 9Crsi , I have been thinking about Hardox or C45 – hardend as well
  • Price of whole machine should be around 6-8thousand USD .
  • Weigth – around 500kg
  • Dimensions : 1m x 1m x 0,5m or something like this
  • Mesh – I dont think that mesh could be any good , but we can try to figure it out.

If you can tell me something more about the shredding process , maybe something is missing . Please tell me . I am looking for some volonteur eingeeneres / students which could help me out with the design .
