Effective management of metal waste is essential to ensure cleanliness, safety, and sustainability in machining workshop operations. This study presents the development of a small-scale hydraulic chip compactor, specifically designed to address waste management needs in the Welding Technology Workshop of Sungai Buloh Vocational College (KVSB). A practice-based design methodology was employed, encompassing technical drawing production, material selection, fabrication, performance testing, and user feedback assessment. The results indicate that the machine is capable of producing compact, uniform, and safely handled chip blocks, thereby optimizing space utilization and minimizing injury risks. Visual inspection and liquid penetrant testing confirmed that the welding quality met AWS and ASME standards without critical defects. Additionally, user feedback affirmed the machine’s user-friendliness and effectiveness in vocational training environments. This research not only demonstrates the successful development of a functional hydraulic chip compactor but also highlights its potential as an innovative tool for integrating compaction technology into technical education systems.Downloads
