Abstract- The scope of this project was to design and development of Shredder machine focus on chopping of vegetables, areca leaves, this chopped powder to prepare the vermin compost. The project began with collection of information and data on user lifestyle and current process by which they perform their job. Concepts were developed with reference of four different shredder machine and operating processes. Concept was developed considering the safety factor users operating environment and maintenance. Considering the users’ needs and buying capacity, spur gear, bearings, structural frame, cutter and dual shaft. The machine frame is built using mild steel and tungsten carbide is used for cutter tip preparation. Two Blade are mounted on Singal shafts, which rotate parallely driven by a spur gear. The power from the by cycle is transmitted to cutter shaft through a chain drive. Cut is made inside the chopping house due to the effect of tensile, friction, and impact effect in chopping process. The vegetables get chopped and powder is collected at the bottom.
