• ABSTRACT: In this study we present a pet bottle shredder machine and mechatronic system used in machine. Plastic shredder is a machine used for cutting the plastic bottles in small pieces to make waste management easier. We are making this project for recycling of plastic bottle wastage in domestic area, industries etc. In this areas the plastic bottle waste is present in large quantity, but the availed machines used to recycle this waste, is not exist. Benefit of this machine is the recycle of the plastic bottles. In this machine, plastic bottles are detected with the pet sensor (Omron E3Z-B61-ECON (0.5M)) and shredded with shredder. This machine is controlled by Arduino Mega. The objects taken in the system are directed by Arduino. As a result of the separation process, the pet bottles sent to the crusher are divided into smaller pieces by means of an asynchronous motor and a crusher driven by an asynchronous motor. The result is a more efficient use of storage space. In this regard, the first steps of the recycling process, namely separation and crushing, will be done more effectively using the automation system than the conventional methods.
