A | Blender <strong>granule</strong> tests<br />
11. Blending entire milk bottle, first in 1 piece, then cut into 2 pieces, then<br />
4. Until the blender is able to blend the milk bottle into small pieces.<br />
Input Blender Output<br />
Thoughts<br />
As we expected the first time we blended the material it was stuck, this effect remained<br />
until we cut the material for the fourth time into 8 pieces.<br />
- The blades could not shred the screw thread part of the bottle.<br />
- Small amount of material out of one bottle, what can you make out of one bottle?<br />
- Pieces of the bottle cannot be bigger than the width of the blender<br />
- Can a layer of water keep the material from bouncing up and down and cool down<br />
the metal blades and material<br />
12. Blending 1 minute, couple of large crumpled pieces (±10gram) inside a<br />
blender with water (so that the pieces are just “below” water level,<br />
material floats)<br />
Input Blender Output<br />
Thoughts<br />
We used as input the size and shape where we thought we had the best result with: the<br />
result of test number 4. The result was even better than that test. As result we had nearly<br />
only small parts.<br />
- Water keeps the part from bouncing.<br />
- Knifes didn’t feel warm, we wonder if this is also at the moment of impact and after<br />
a long time of use.<br />
