  1. K-Cup Recycler Zack Burchman Travis Gang Dana Geer Ryan Neary Matt Seekins Faculty Advisor: Mike Rosen GMCR Contacts: Wade Hodge Paul Comey Jason King

  2. Direction for the Project Designed the foundation for entire K-Cup recycling process Focus on detailed design and construction of foil weld and coffee ground removal sub-systems

  3. Charter Statement • Lid/No Lid Sensor • Heat and Punch Component • Will break foil weld • Fully automated • Vacuum • Will remove foil and grounds • Fully automated

  4. Heat & Punch Design Heating element custom made by Watlow Electric Manufacturing Company Pneumatic pistons will drive motion Cup is raised to contact heating element, lowered, then punch lowers to break weld

  5. Heat & Punch Design

  6. Vacuum Design Current vacuums in use

  7. Proposed Schedule • Winter Break: Team members research and design designated parts • We will conduct compatibility checks and purchase parts throughout January • February • Dana begins work on building the vacuum and cup holder • Travis and Zack begin building the riser system, and later start the punch • Matt will test the sensors and power supply while designing the control system • Everyone is helping design and purchase the framework

  8. Proposed Schedule • March • Dana begins to test on the cup holder and will finish the vacuum and begin to troubleshoot it • Travis and Zack start the heating element and continue building the punch, testing begins on the riser and later on the punch and heating element • Matt begins to integrate the control system, sensors, and power supply to the machine • The framework building begins

  9. Proposed Schedule • April • Everything is built and each individual parts are tested and debugged • It is all put together and debugged

  11. Cup is placed into die A force is applied to the punch Punch comes down slicing off ring Cup falls down through the die and moves on to next stage for sorting The ring, which remains on top of the die, is blow off into a waste compartment Adaptable to any system 3 steel rods, bearings, springs
