Beach Sand Cleaner
Final year mechanical engineering students of Don Bosco college engineering Fatorda Goa-: Kaygun Pereira, Vallon Dsilva, Mark ferrao, Selvin Pereira, Akshay Phadte have successfully developed and tested a prototype “Beach Sand Cleaning Machine”, under guidance of Prof. Suraj Marathe. This project aims to eliminate and keep the beach sand clean and thereby reducing time and cost of cleaning.
In this project the main aim of this machine is to lift the waste debris from the sand and dispose them into the hopper. Due to motor the rake rotates; as the rake rotates it collects the waste debris from the sand. As the machine is placed on the sand, the waste debris on the sand will get lifted by the rake and move it to a conveyor and lift it at upward direction. As the waste reaches upper extreme position it will get dropped in the hopper. The machine will be pulled by a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Hence this will result in the cleaning of beach surface and safe collection of waste debris from the sand.
