ABSTRAKJumlah sampah plastik yang dibuang kelaut oleh Indonesia jumlahnya mendekati 200 juta ton. Jumlah ini berada di bawah Tiongkok yang menghasilkan sampah plastik mencapai 262,9 juta ton. Pada saat yang sama, kebutuhan akan plastik di Indonesia baru terpenuhi sekitar 64% dari total 5 juta ton plastik. Sampah plastik yang dibuang kelaut, seharusnya dapat dimanfaatkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tersebut. Sampah plastik yang telah ada, perlu diolah agar dapat dimanfaatkan kembali sebagai plastik produksi. Pengolahan sampah plastik yang paling sederhana adalah dengan mencacah plastik yang telah ada menjadi serpihan-serpihan kecil menggunakan mesin pencacah. Mesin pencacah dapat digunakan dimanapun karena menggunakan mesin diesel sebagai penggeraknya. Mekanisme pencacahan yang digunakan menggunakan tipe gunting. Hasil perancangan mesin pencacah menggunakan 5 mata pisau dengan spesifikasi, panjang 180 mm, lebar 50 mm, tebal 10 mm dan sudut mata pisau 35° dengan panjang poros penggerak 450 mm, diameter 30 mm.Kata kunci:plastik, mesin, daur ulang.ABSTRACTThe amount of plastic waste discharged into the sea by Indonesia is approximately 200 million tons. This amount is below China which produces plastic waste reaches 262.9 million tons. At the same time, the need for plastics in Indonesia is only fulfilled about 64% of the total 5 million tons of plastic. Plastic waste discharged into the sea, should be utilized to meet these needs. Plastic waste that has been there, needs to be processed in order to be reused as a production plastic. The simplest plastic waste processing is to chop the already existing plastic into small pieces. This chopper machine can be used anywhere because it uses a diesel engine as its propulsion. The enumeration mechanism used with scissor type. The design of the enumerator machine uses 5 blades with specifications, length of 180 mm, width 50 mm, 10 mm thick and 35 ° knife angle with 450 mm drive length, 30 mm diameter.Keyword: plastic, machine, recycle

ABSTRACT Natural fibers that function as reinforcement have lighter properties, are easily formed, are corrosion resistant, are cheap and have the same strength as metal materials. Natural fiber which has good tensile, compressive and impact strength including Ramie and pineapple leaves. For high impact polypropylene matrix (PPHI) which is widely used in the automotive industry. In this study the effect of volume fraction of natural fibers on the mechanical properties of PPHI composites with natural fiber reinforced properties was studied. PPHI composites are made using the Hand Lay Up method at a temperature of 2500C with a volume fraction of natural fibers of 10%, where fibers are made finely shaved to have a mesh size of 120/170, 170/200 and below 200 mesh, the tensile strength of the composite is measured by reference to the standard ASTM 3039, compressive strength measured refers to ASTM D 695. The impact price of the composite is measured with reference to ASTM D 6110-04. In this study it can be concluded, a good volume fraction of 10% natural fiber when mixed with high impact polypropylene matrix is pineapple fiber with meshing 170/200 can increase the tensile strength of PPHI by 40% and increase the impact price of PPHI by 50.8% if seen by research previously that used hemp fiber under mesh 1200 with PPHI matrix.

Injection molding is a method of forming thermoplastic material that is melted due to heating. The heating result is then injected by the nozzle into the mold until the thermoplastic material hardens. Plastic processing using injection molding is used to produce strong thermoplastic material quickly. The manufacture of injection molding machine hand-press is expected to help the process of plastic processing that demands material engineering and manufacturing technology. Research in the process of making injection molding machine hand-press aims to determine the manufacturing process time and temperature when the operation of injection molding hand-press. The process of making injection molding hand-press shows that the required time is 612 minutes, while in theory the time is 565.3 minutes. The operating temperature is (230-260) °C, with an optimum temperature of 250 °C.

The development of composite materials in the automotive industry has reached the stage of utilizing natural fibers to pursue relatively low material prices with the same quality. One method for product formation is injection molding. This study aims to design the most efficient mold from a variety of shapes, dimensions, and runner types used with the help of SolidWorks software. The tool used to support the design of the mold is a low-pressure injection molding hand press with a barrel temperature specification of 200 C -250 C, barrel volume of 270 cm3, and an out-of-nozzle diameter of 8 mm. The most efficient design is determined from three multi-cavity models with different shapes. This research produces a two-plate mold with multi-cavity modeling which has a low-pressure parameter of 1.89 MPa and the shrinkage factor is still within the standard range of PPHI material (< 1%).
