Because of my first prototype has a bend in its blade, I made this new model:-
This model is working very efficiently, but again there was a new problem. The Blade was not as sharp to cut some materials. So Dixit sir gave me a blade sharpener to sharpen the blade. This sharpener did the best work to give very high sharpness to chop any type of kitchen waste materials. I have made cut 3 mm thick plate in plasma cutter for making blade it gives proper strength to chop any type of vegetable and food scrap.
Sharpener:-
Constructional specifications of the first Model:-
- The diameter of the Hollow GI pipe = 20 mm.
- Length of Hollow GI pipe = 1520 mm.
- Blade length Length * Width = 210mm * 100mm.
- One Bucket having diameter 220mm.
- One circular plywood of exact diameter of a bucket.
The operating procedure followed:-
- Put exact diameter ply piece inside the bucket.
- Put food scrap in a bucket.
- Just hammer it and cut the food scrap into small pieces.
- Cut that food scrap according to our requirements of shape and size.
- Remove the inside material after filling the bucket and repeat from point one.
Actual process video of chopping the food scrap:-
Results:-
- It can chop all food scrap as per the required sizes and shapes.
- We can chop any food material in fine shape and size such as watermelon, cabbage, etc.
- Chopping process being easy and less time-consuming.
Conclusion:-
1] Blades are not bending and have enough strength to cut all types of food scraps.
2] Chopping done very easy and saves lots of time.
3] Perfect piece size for composting.
Learning Outcomes:-
I have learned the following skills:-
1] Plasma Cutting.
2] Cutting and handling of the grinder.
3] Welding.
4] Grinding and sharpening the blade.
