This project focuses on the design and manufacture of a hydraulic press with aluminum recycling. The press operates based on Pascal's principle, using an incompressible hydraulic fluid to generate high pressing force.
The work begins with a theoretical background on hydraulic systems, including their history, types, and uses. This is followed by an analysis of system components such as pumps, valves, filters, tanks, and safety devices. The project then moves to the practical phase, which includes manufacturing and assembling the press using locally available materials and techniques such as manual welding, machining, and mechanical assembly.
