Abstract: The purpose of this research is to produce a mechanical design approach for an environment-helping machine, a plastic-tile maker. Specifically, the types of plastic used are polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene. These are used because they are commonly used and disposed in the environment. Engineering computations for the design details of the major components of the proto-type are involved, which is mainly focused on thermodynamics. To develop statements of conclusion, the study conducted a series of testing and evaluation for the isolation system and production. The best size that is made by the prototype is 4” by 4” and 6” by 6”. The basis of evaluation of the product is by appearance, notches, and production rate. The study shows all the physical appearance of the rejected and accepted tile. As stated above, the research focuses mainly on the evaluation of the prototype’s final product. Since the study is focused mainly on mechanical application whereas it is recommended to apply more electronic enhancement for the prototype.
