The aim of the project is to sort waste into metals and plastics for reuse and recycling, reducing waste generation and pollution. It uses a conveyor belt and sensors to separate objects based on material type, height, and other characteristics in an automated way. This reduces human labor costs and errors compared to manual sorting. Effective waste sorting can help address the growing problem of municipal solid waste generation in India as urbanization and industrialization increase.

The aim of the project is separate the waste in metals and plastics so that it could be reused or

re-cycled thus reducing the waste generation and controlling the pollution rate.

The setup removes the item from the moving belt and sort the object on-

1.Metals and non-metals

2.Heigh

1.2 Literature Review-


In 1908, llymle (inddzlrd ol'lmgzm (‘mnpuny patented the first roller conveyor.

In 1919. the first powered and free conveyors were introduced into the mass production of
nutumobiles. The application of the conveyor branched out to coal mining in the 1920s, where
the technology underwent considerable changes.

In 1963-64, first Indian small scale industrial unit for rubber belts for conveyor/transmission was
installed and widely used in steel, cement etc and similar material handling applications of
industry.

In 2007, Huang et al describes the time-minimum trajectory planning ofa 2-DOF translational
parallel robot named the Diamond for rapid pick-and-place operations. Kinematics and dynamics
of the robot are formulated using a parametric function, allowing the representation of the input
torque and velocity constraints to be converted to those in terms 0fthe path length.

In 2007, Dogan Ibrahim et al to show the special features of the C language when programming
microcontrollers. He says that the industry standard C51 optimizing C compiler is used
throughout. This compiler has been developed by Keil Elektronik. These compilers can be used
for learning the features ofa specific product and in some cases small projects can be developed
with such compilers.

In 2007, Khojastehnazhand et al give many kinds of information such as size, color,


shape,defecmmd internal quality. Among these color and size are the most important features for
3 3 J ‘ 1.2.: >ification and/or sorting ofcitrus such as oranges, lemons and tangerines mpection
stages of the system can be identified: external fruit inspectten and
tion. The former task is accomplished through processing of color Images,33011 requires special
sensors for moisture, sugar and acid contents.

In 2010,Tsalidis et al describes in this paper that conveyor belt design is examination as an


application of a proposed design parameters space search technique. First,the main
characteristics of the belt-conveyor design process are presented.
In 2010, Sahu et al describes the outline 0f the development of the color sensor meant for the
radiation-robot used for the alignment of sample for various experiments in a radiation
environment near nuclear beam line of 3MV Tandem peloton Accelerator at Institute of
Physics, Bhubaneswar. In this paper a comparative study between the APD and LDR for their
sensitivity towards different colors also discussed. A cost effective as well as with
reasonable accuracy and precision. a color sensor is developed with a array of LDRs, where the
biasing voltage is very less compared to APD based color sensor. This sensor is used in a
microcontroller based object rejecter and successfully able to distinguish 8 colors.

In 2012. Amit Kumar Mondal, Vivek Kaundal written the code in Mat lab to identify the
object by sending appropriate commands to the microcontroller.

In 2014, Aashik Chandramohan et a1 presented an application to sort objects based on its color
using a robotic arm.

1.3 Research Gap-


1. In most of the research, the weighing machine is used for weight of the product. The weighing
conveyor is used for the calculate the weight of the products. The automated conveyor system is
used for the product travel one to another process. The sorting of defective product is used for
various types of sensors.

2. The sorting of defective product is used to computer vision system, this camera system
75L ' is capturing the images, this images are rapidly processed and defects or quality
attributes are quickly identified.

3. The rejected products are removed from the production line for use the pneumatic .
cylinder. Pneumatic cylinder is pressed, this defected product from the production line.

1.4 Problem Statement-

The problem statement for the project is to create the electronic material handling system which
can be used to reduce the effort of the workers as well as the tie spent in the inspection of the
components, during their manufacturing. It also reduces the effort in transferring the component
manufactured to another workstation. The most apparent reason that is associated in installing of
automatic system in industries is;
1. Saving man power.
2. Improved quality and efficiency.
CHAPTER 2- Need to Object Sorting

2.1 Obiective of Study-


1.Duc to increase in industrialization and urbanization and increase in demand of
population. to cope up Wlth the demand more resources is been utilized and
results in increase ot‘waste generation. The objective of the study is to control the
pollution rate

2.To reduce the manufacturing lead time and to reduce the labor cost industries are more
focusing upon automation. Using conveyor belt for transmission of objects from one
station to another and using sensors for inspection it aims to reduce the human effort
and hence, the consequent errors.

3. Due to automation and use of sensors for sorting objects based on metal and
Plastic and sorting on basic of height the project prpmote speed and reliability of
Sorting and hence,increases the production rate.

4. It aim to reduce the inspection time.

2.2 Idea behind the Proieet-

Solid waste management (SWM) is a major problem for many urban local bodies
(ULBs) in India, where urbanization, industrialization and economic growth have resulted in
increased municipal solid waste (MSW) generation per person. Effective SWM is a major
challenge in cities with high population density. Despite significant development in social,
economic and environmental areas, SWM systems in India have remained relatively
unchanged.

Pmlation growth is a major contributor to increasing MSW in India. India generates


approximately 133 760 tonnes of MSW per day, of which approximately 91 152 tonnes is
com and approximately 25 884 tonnes is treated. MSW generation per capita in India range
from approximately 0.17kg per person per day in small towns to approximately 0.62 kg per
person per day in cities.

Waste generation rate depend on the factor such as population density,economic status,level
of commercial activity,culture and city/region. Fig.1 provides data on MSW generation in

different states, indicating high waste generation in Maharashtra (1 15 364—19 2 day),


Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal (1 1 523—1 5 363 tonnes per day) 04 tonnes
per, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala (7683—1 1 522 tonnes per day) and Madhya Pradesh,
Rajasthan, Gujarat Kamataka and Mizoram (3 842—7662 tonnes per day). Lower waste
generation occurs in,Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Goa,
Assam, Arunachal Pradesh Meghalaya, Tripura, Nagaland and Manipur (less than 3841
tons per day).
