Materials & Components Function in the System

It acts as the brain of the system that controls

all the connections of the components of the
device like the LCD screen, sensors and
motors.

Arduino Mega 2560

It is used to cut the plastics into tiny pieces
making it easier to melt in the heating
process.

Nibo Cross-Cut Paper Shredder NS-C4X30

A flat panel display technology commonly
used to display the interface of the system.
This displays the settings & progress of the
production of bricks.

Nextion 7” Touchscreen LCD

The wire that serves as the heating element in
melting the plastics.
 Heat Wave Industry Heater (Band Wire,
220V, 2kW)

Used to help the heating in melting the

plastics and serves as the blower of in the
drying process.

Hoyoma Heat Gun 2000W

Mixer

Incubator Motor
Used to dispense the cement and sand.

Meat Grinder
 Wiper motor functions on a power supply in
order to move the wiper blades in a smooth
motion. Like other motors, the wiper motor
rotates continuously in one direction which is
converted into a back and forth motion.

Wiper Motor 12V

The LM2596 series of Buck Switching

Regulators are monolithic integrated circuits
that provide all the active functions for a
step-down (buck) switching regulator,
capable of driving a 3A load with excellent
line and load regulation.

Stepdown Regulator (LM2596)

The HX711 load cell amplifier is used to get
measurable data out from a load cell and
strain gauge.

Load Cell Driver HX711

A load cell is a transducer that is used to

create an electrical signal whose magnitude
is directly proportional to the force being
measured. It offers more accuracy.

Load Cell
 A Relay is an electrically operated switch.
Many relays use an electromagnet to
mechanically operate the switch and provide
electrical isolation between two circuits. It
can be controlled directly by Micro-controller

4 Channel & 8 Channel Relay

Solid State Relays are semiconductor equivalents

of the electromechanical relay and can be used
to control electrical loads without the use of
moving parts.

Solid State Relay (60A & 100A)

The component that supplies power into the

whole device.

Power Supply (12V-15V & 24V-25A)

A stepper drive is the driver circuit that
controls how the stepper motor operates.
Stepper drives work by sending current
through various phases in pulses to the
stepper motor

Stepper Motor Nema 23

 This circuit that it adopts is similar to the
circuit of servo control which enables the
motor run smoothly almost without noise and
vibration.

Stepper Driver DQ542MA

( 24VDC to 50VDC)

A circuit breaker is an automatically operated

electrical switch designed to protect an
electrical circuit from damage caused by
excess current from an overload or
short circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt
current flow after a fault is detected

Miniature Circuit Breaker 32A

The limit switch regulates the electrical circuit

that controls the machine and its moving
parts.

Limit Switch
 An infrared sensor is an electronic device that
emits in order to sense some aspects of the
surroundings. It is used to sense if there are
plastics entering the shredder.
