What Are Shock Loads — and Why They Matter Shock loads are sudden, high-intensity forces that occur over very short time intervals. Unlike static or dynamic loads, shock loads: At DesignWithAjay, we treat shock loads not as anomalies, but as design realities — especially in industries like mining, defense, agriculture, and robotics. Ajay’s Design Philosophy: “Reinforce the Path, Not Just…
Why Feed Rate Control Is the Hidden Hero of Shredder Performance At DesignWithAjay, we believe that feed rate control is not just a throughput metric — it’s the heartbeat of shredder efficiency. It governs: Yet most designs treat it as a reactive control loop. We treat it as a predictive design element. Ajay’s Feed Rate Control Philosophy: “Flow Before Force” Rather than overpowering material resistance, DesignWithAjay designs shredders to flow with the material, using intelligent feed rate modulation to: Case Study: Designing the DW-AJX120 Industrial Shredder Let’s walk through how DesignWithAjay engineered feed rate control for the DW-AJX120, a high-throughput industrial shredder used for mixed polymer waste. Material Profiling…
Why Flywheel Balance Is More Than Just Mass Distribution At DesignWithAjay, we believe that flywheel balancing is not merely a corrective step — it’s a design philosophy. A well-balanced flywheel: But true balance isn’t just static — it’s dynamic, thermal, and contextual. Step-by-Step: Ajay’s Signature Flywheel Balancing Framework Design for Balance, Not Just Correct It Later Most designers treat balancing as a post-manufacturing fix. DesignWithAjay flips the script: Ajay’s Rule: “If it spins, its mass must sing in harmony.” Dynamic Balance Over Static Balance Static balance ensures the flywheel doesn’t tilt when resting. But machines…
Why Heat Dissipation Matters in Gearbox Design Gearboxes operate under high loads and speeds, generating significant heat due to friction, gear meshing, and lubricant shear. Poor thermal management can lead to: DesignWithAjay emphasizes that thermal design is not an afterthought — it’s integral to performance and longevity. Design Philosophy: “Passive First, Active If Needed” Before jumping to fans…
DesignWithAjay’s method for calculating optimal blade overlap in dual‑shaft shredders provides a geometry-driven approach to maximize cut efficiency, focusing on precision in the spatial arrangement of shredder blades for superior material processing. This strategy uses careful modeling and calculation to achieve efficient intermeshing, considering variables such as blade thickness, shaft separation, and clearance to ensure…
At Ajay Industries, we design gearboxes that operate under extreme torque, vibration, and thermal loads.Whether integrated into shredders, SPMs, or automation systems, these machines demand precision lubrication to prevent wear, reduce friction, and extend service life.This guide outlines our best practices for selecting, integrating, and maintaining lubrication systems inheavy-duty gearboxes—ensuring performance, uptime, and long-term durability. Why Lubrication Strategy Matters Poor lubrication leads to: A well-designed lubrication system is not an accessory—it’s a core mechanical safeguard. DesignWithAjay’s Lubrication System Recommendations 1. Select the Right Lubricant Type Lubricant Type Best For EP Gear Oil (ISO VG 220–460) High-load, slow-speed gearboxes Synthetic Oil (PAO-based) Wide temperature range, extended service life Grease…
At Ajay Industries, we design shredders that don’t just destroy—they do so with precision, efficiency, and minimal energy waste. In high-load environments, industrial shredders often consume more power than necessary due to poor blade geometry, inefficient motor pairing, or friction-heavy assemblies. This case study reveals how DesignWithAjay reduced power consumption in a twin-shaft shredder by over 30%—without compromising throughput or cutting performance. Why Power Optimization Matters Reducing power consumption leads to: DesignWithAjay’s Power Reduction Strategy 1. Blade Geometry Optimization Ajay Tip: Blade geometry was iteratively refined using SolidWorks Simulation and field feedback from mixed plastic and rubber shredding. 2. Motor and Gearbox Matching Ajay Tip: Our CAD models include embedded torque calculators linked to blade RPM and material resistance. 3. Reduced Rotational Inertia Ajay…
At Ajay Industries, we design machines that thrive under pressure—literally. Whether it’s a twin-shaft shredder, a modular gearbox, or a custom SPM, high-vibration environments demand bearings that can absorb shock, resist wear, and maintain alignment under dynamic loads. This guide outlines our proven approach to selecting and integrating bearings for vibration-heavy applications, ensuring long-term performance and minimal downtime….
At Ajay Industries, designing machines under 1 HP isn’t about cutting corners—it’s about engineering efficiency. Whether you’re prototyping a compact shredder, a study lamp with mechanical articulation, or a low torque gearbox, small machines demand smart CAD strategies to balance performance, cost, and manufacturability. This guide shares our best practices for modeling, simulating, and documenting low-power mechanical systems using SolidWorks and Fusion 360. Why Sub-1 HP Machines Need Special Attention Machines under 1 HP typically operate with: Designing for this scale means every gram, micron, and watt matters. DesignWithAjay’s CAD Best Practices for Low-Power Machines 1. Use Lightweight Geometry Ajay Tip: Use SolidWorks’ “Mass Properties” tool early to track weight and center of gravity. 2. Optimize for Low Torque Ajay Tip: Our CAD models include torque calculators linked to global variables for quick iteration. 3. Design for Compact…
At Ajay Industries, we design shredder blades not just to cut—but to intelligently shear, fracture, and separate. E-waste presents one of the most challenging feedstocks in industrial recycling: it’s dense, abrasive, and heterogeneous. From circuit boards and cables to metal casings and plastic housings, each material demands a different cutting strategy. This guide outlines how DesignWithAjay develops custom blade geometries specifically optimized for e-waste, combining CAD precision, field data, and modular design principles. Why E-Waste Requires…
