Unesa team shows off innovative paper chopping machine that is more environmentally friendly.
Unesa.ac.id. , SURABAYA—The Community Service Team (PKM) from the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM) Surabaya State University (Unesa) is implementing the Campus Environment Community Partnership Program (PKM-LK) with the Directorate of Law and Management at Unesa to resolve the problem of reducing the volume of archives from archives that have no useful value to be destroyed.
The problem of the directorate in charge of designing the legal order at Unesa is currently the process The destruction of archives is still carried out by shredding or cutting with scissors. This process is considered to require a lot of energy and takes a long time.
Once upon a time when the number of archives which had no use value was so large, the destruction process was carried out by burning which could create new problems, namely environmental pollution, so that the method of destroying archives using the methods mentioned above is considered inappropriate, ineffective and inefficient.
In order to prevent this problem from recurring, the PKM-LK Team designed an environmentally friendly paper chopping machine . With a large capacity and an effective and efficient way of working, this tool can provide added value because the shredded paper is collected in a more compact place and can be recycled back into products of economic value.
With the chopper machine It is hoped that partners can make good use of this paper to destroy archives that no longer have use value appropriately, effectively, efficiently and can recycle paper that has been destroyed into products of economic value.
PKM implementation team- This LK consists of Yunus as chairman, with members Albrian Fiky Prakoso, Heru Arizal, Irfan Ramis, and Gigih Adjie Byantoro. In this PKM-LK program they were assisted by two students, M. Machfud Rochmatulloh and Ivan Rachmawan from the Information Technology Education and Mechanical Engineering Education study programs.
They assisted in the design, manufacturing, assembly, testing of paper chopping machines, taking photo documentation and making videos of the implementation of PKM activities.
Regarding this activity, the Directorate of Law and Management at Unesa expressed its gratitude and gratitude to the LPPM PKM Team Unesa has launched the Campus Environment Community Partnership Program (PKM-LK) and hopes that this program can continue in the future.[*]
