1. ABSTRACT
In this project we are going to
manufacture paper bags making machine. As
we know that government of Tamil Nadu has
banned plastics, we have planned to
manufacture this machine. The impact of the
plastics has an adverse reaction over living
beings and natural environment. It consists of
paper folding system, rollers and adhesives.
The mechanism used in this project is roller
mechanism. In this paper an attempt has been
made to design and manufacture a semi-
automatic paper bag making machine.
2. INTRODUCTION
We need small size bags every day for
various purposes like grocery, fruits, and
vegetables. We use plastic bags for such
purposes. Plastic shopping bags kill large
numbers of wildlife each year so, to avoid
above harmful effects of Plastic Bags, viable
alternative is required which is Paper Bag.
All these problems are eliminated in the
presented machine. A machine whose initial
cost is less, which does not require any
special paper, which can be used for small
scale production, is developed. This machine
will help a poor family to earn money through
small scale production of paper bags. Paper
bags have traditionally been presented as the
eco-friendly option when compared to plastic
bags. The natural fibers of paper, and the
renewable resource used has a positive
image, as the increase in volume of paper
bags is likely to be sent to the landfill, have
now taken over a new role in the recycling
options which are firmly established. It has
been scientifically proven that paper bags are
not harmful to the environment as plastic
bags.
3. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
As we know that government of
Tamil Nadu has banned the usage of plastics
and polythene bags because of which the
demand on the paper bag is increasing. So,
we have decided to make a semi - automated
paper bag making machine.
