Love this project. What got you going on making a recycled plastic disc? Instead of let's say bike grips or anything else? Edit: Disc golf is awesome and I see from your IG that you've been playing for a while. Just curious for the backstory that motivated this huge project.
A variable dimmer switch between the power source and shredder seems to be logical way to slow down the rpm.....the starting HP failed down to achieve desired HP will be another story ....and probably would entail pitching a motor well beyond what you actually want if you used the easiest method of reducing RPM ... ... Probably UA-cam has an electrical engineer with all the formulas to find a economic way to get a readily available motor and have it run at your required output. ...it's understandable way low RPM is needed so prevent plastic melt from friction from the shredder jaws ... And a high enough HP(think waste basket paper shredder found in most home office clogging from being fed overfed... High HP motors power through and advoid jams from simple shredding ... To get around that you can just remain feeding plastic by hand in small amounts . A more powerful motor allows filling up a hopper and walking away with little oversight... .. That is my best advice but I'm no expert
Seeing the process behind your recycled disks is awesome. Thanks for the sweet shout-out, Jesse (the best recycled disk maker around)!
Killer apron. Can't help but shoutout!
You, my friend, are the definition of a badass.
Also, I created a UA-cam channel so I could comment this. 👊🏻
You're the best bro!
You can get a 2 hp engine gas or electric. But youse gear ratios to run down the rpm. But also be aware it probably will incres the torque
Voltage regulator could slow down the rpms....great channel!

Jesse - how about using a gear motor?
Yes! That's what I'm currently looking at. Let me know if you have any thoughts on the best place to source one!

It would be incredible if we could make a ecosystem of single use things like plastic.
Awesome knee Deep sticker!
