A. Construction
The fabrication of the model consists of the preparation
of the basement through the welding of bars by electric arc
welding. Then the welding of the supporting rods is done at an
angle of 90 degrees from the basement. The pillow block
bearings which supports the load and movement of the shaft
are fixed to the supporting rods and to the front part of the
basement through the proper joining technique. A shaft of
proper calculated strength and material is fixed with the
bearings and also the chain drive is mounted on the shaft for
proper running. Factor of safety is considered and calculated
for the proper functioning of the shaft. Finally, the lifters of
sufficient carrying strength are mounted on the chain drive at
regular intervals.
A. Applications
This model can be used in all types of drainage water
systems such large, medium or small. 2. It can be used in
effective and efficient way to remove the floating wastes from
the running water of drainage system. 3. Proper disposal and
maintenance of the sewage from the industries and residents.
B. Advantages
This proposed model can be used in every type of
drainage systems.
The model is operated on solar powered battery source
which is eco-friendly and renewable source of energy.
The treatment and removal of sewage wastes by this
Fig 1:- Proposed Model model is environment friendly.
D. Future Scope
In future this project can be made fully automated
system by the use and application of automatic sensors and by
the implementation of control algorithms. This system can be
run fully automated by eliminating the idle time running by
starting and stopping mechanism by use of proper sensors.
Controlling and managing the wastes efficiently by use of
appropriate handling devices.
