Problem Statement● There is lack of proper recycling methods for plastic bottles in El Sauce,
Nicaragua○ Currently trash is being burned or dumped
● Our goal is to design a plastic bottle recycling process that creates jobs and a valuable end product ○ Considering a gutter for water systems, such as irrigation and water
collection○ Connectable, easily expandable
● We aim to design a robust manufacturing process that can accommodate low resource availability and a sparse skilled workforce
● The manufacturing process consists of melting and forming PET plastic chips into a valuable product

Phase 1 Follow Up Actions
● Based on feedback from our phase 1 problem definition, we have ○ Solidified a product for our molding process○ Updated our engineering and customer requirements so they are quantifiable and relate
directly to each other○ Rebuilt our house of quality to more accurately show the relationships
■ Separated house of quality into final product and process○ Continued benchmarking to include other processes and mechanisms we aim to include in our
process○ Final Product Decision (Gutter) ○ Shredder Status Analysis:
■ Conclusion: Not immediate priority, highly resource intensive

First DesignCons: Complexity of molten plastic transfer into mold

Concept - Previous vs CurrentPrevious Design:
● Two part system with heating and molding accomplished with different mechanisms
● Mold would be contained within an oven and compressed to melt and shape plastic
Current Design:
● Integrated heating and molding into a single unit
● Mold is heated internally and pressured

Reasoning for Changing Design
After meeting with HARBEC we decided to update our design based on the following criteria
● Lower energy use- don’t have to heat an entire oven● Lower heat loss- mold doesn’t have to cool completely to be re-used● Increased production rate- with multiple molds in use in a series, there will be no down time where
workers are waiting for an oven to heat the mold or to cool down● Decreased materials needed to build system- Aluminum block and resistance heaters● Decreased size of total system- a single mold should only be as large as a shoe box

System Level Proposal● Plastic is compressed and heated within the mold to increase energy● Plastic has to exceed glass transition temperature to be shaped into the mold (approximately 67 -
81°C)● Force requirement depends on mold shape and temperature and must be determined through
testing● Includes ejector pins to easily remove molded part

Draft of Gutter Mold Design (System Level Proposal)
● Current design for gutter mold
● 12” x 6” x 3” (LxWxH) outside gutter dimensions and ⅛’’ thickness
● Resistant heating elements will run through bottom of mold
● Conductive grout will secure the rods and assist heat transfer

Environmental Analysis● Effects of sun exposure on PET
○ Little to no change in water quality during short exposure periods
○ High temperatures and CO2 presence increased release of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde during long exposure periods
● Recommend not to consume water collected by gutters until further studies are conducted

Risk Assessment Cont.Medium Importance (6)
● R5: We are unable to fill the mold using the plastic melting process○ Mitigation ➜Plastic melted inside the mold, eliminates molten plastic transfer
● R7: System inconsistently produced the plastic product○ Mitigation ➜Measure dimensional variation, adjust molds
● R10: No facilities for us to safely test a moderately large furnace○ Mitigation ➜Locate usable lab with ventilation
● R13: Initial benchmarking machines require salvaged items that may be difficult to acquire○ Mitigation ➜Salvage parts from old, free, or cheap appliances
