Designing a tire shredder machine to decide to import or build: A case study.

Victor Alfonso Erazo Arteaga

Abstract :

All over the world, used tires are a source of pollution, but several entrepreneurs have seen this problem as a business opportunity, for which the initial step is the acquisition of shredding equipment. The entrepreneur is faced with the dilemma of building locally or importing such equipment. This document shows the design of several mechanical elements for a tire crushing machine, verifies the simulations made by analytically calculating one of the elements and compå the results obtained. Finally, the manufacturing costs are compared with the costs of importing the equipment into Ecuador. It is determined that the import cost exceeds the manufacturing cost by only 1% and it is concluded that local construction is not feasible.
