Plastic Shredder Blender Blade
Aya maansi

Modeling

Beginner
This component is a rotary mixing blade designed for integration inside a plastic shredder blender unit. The blade features a circular disc geometry with a central hexagonal hole, which allows for firm and precise mounting onto a hexagonal shaft, ensuring torque transmission without slippage. The blade is equipped with multiple peripheral notches (cutting or mixing teeth) evenly distributed around the circumference. These notches act as agitation fins that assist in: Churning the shredded plastic, Breaking down clumps, And enhancing material flow within the blending chamber. Its symmetrical profile and balanced mass distribution are essential for smooth high-speed rotation, minimizing vibration and ensuring mechanical stability during operation. Made from high-strength steel or wear-resistant alloy, this part is engineered to endure the abrasive nature of plastic fragments while maintaining long service life. It serves as a vital element in post-shredding processing, particularly in systems that require uniform mixing before melting, extrusion, or granulation.

Beginner
In this detailed tutorial, you'll learn how to model a Eye Bolt in PTC Creo Parametric using essential design tools. We cover Revolve, Extrude Cut, Hole Wizard, Fillet, and Thread commands to help you create accurate and professional 3D parts. 🔧 Commands Demonstrated: 1. Revolve – Create a 3D feature by revolving a 2D sketch around an axis. 2. Extrude Cut – Remove material precisely by projecting a 2D sketch through a 3D body. 3. Hole Wizard – Create standard holes (e.g., counterbore, countersink, tapped) with ease. 4. Fillet – Clean and finish edges by rounding them off. 5. Cosmetic Thread – Visually represent threads without modeling them physically; adds thread callouts and appearance for documentation without increasing model complexity.
