 We express since thanks to our guide
Mr. V.S. Gondhkar who guided us during
the entire session of the project. High
evolutions & suggestions have helped us
enormously towards the completion of
this project.
We are also thankful to the entire
mechanical engineering department for
making available all the required
resources & co-operation in our project
 Equivalent Stress work and also for their constant guidance
and a constructive criticism throughout
our project work.
FUTURE SCOPE:
a) By modified this apparatus and
programming we can separate
multiple metals materials /non-
metallic materials at same time.

b) We can collect magnetic materials

 Deformation
by providing magnetic belt.

c) We can detect multiple type of

material from garbage.
