Designed the foundation for entire K-Cup recycling process
Focus on detailed design and construction of foil weld and coffee ground removal sub-systems
Lid/No Lid Sensor Heat and Punch Component
• Will break foil weld• Fully automated
Vacuum• Will remove foil and grounds• Fully automated
Heating element custom made by Watlow Electric Manufacturing Company
Pneumatic pistons will drive motion Cup is raised to contact heating
element, lowered, then punch lowers to break weld
Current vacuums in use
Winter Break: Team members research and design designated parts
We will conduct compatibility checks and purchase parts throughout January
February• Dana begins work on building the vacuum and
cup holder• Travis and Zack begin building the riser system,
and later start the punch• Matt will test the sensors and power supply
while designing the control system• Everyone is helping design and purchase the
framework
March• Dana begins to test on the cup holder and
will finish the vacuum and begin to troubleshoot it
• Travis and Zack start the heating element and continue building the punch, testing begins on the riser and later on the punch and heating element
• Matt begins to integrate the control system, sensors, and power supply to the machine
• The framework building begins
April• Everything is built and each individual parts
are tested and debugged• It is all put together and debugged

Critical Path: 14 weeks
Cup is placed into die A force is applied to the punch Punch comes down slicing off ring Cup falls down through the die and moves on to
next stage for sorting The ring, which remains on top of the die, is blow off
into a waste compartment Adaptable to any system 3 steel rods, bearings, springs
Thanks to GMCR for coming out!
