Office Administrative Paper Waste Accumulation: Design Study of a Paper Waste Cutting Device at PT SUCOFINDO UP Kelanis

Penumpukan Limbah Kertas Administrasi Kantoran: Kajian Perancangan Alat Pemotong Limbah Kertas di PT SUCOFINDO UP Kelanis

Abstract

This design study examines administrative paper waste accumulation at PT SUCOFINDO UP Kelanis and determines the required capacity and target specifications of a proposed paper waste cutting device. The design inputs used in the manuscript are an average paper waste load of 15 kg/day and 7 effective operating hours/day, corresponding to a minimum processing capacity of approximately 2.14 kg/hour. A nominal design capacity of 5 kg/hour is proposed to provide operating margin and reduce processing queues. A 70% reduction is treated as a target reduction in waste volume after cutting, not a loss of paper mass. The proposed device remains a design model and has not been reported as a built or experimentally tested prototype. The target cutting specification should therefore be validated through prototype development, dimensional measurements, operational tests, and occupational-safety assessment before implementation.
