Abstract
In the age of digital era, when the world’s population is gradually increasing every year, the increase in amount of waste is quite significant. So, in order to make the environment clean and free from environmental hazards, solid and liquid waste management plays a vital role. It’s prime requirement to reduce and ultimately eliminate all the adverse impacts of waste materials in order to provide good, hygienic, and sustainable environment. This project discusses the design, its analysis and optimization of a mobile desilting machine used for removal of any kind of solid waste such as silt, debris or mud in the manholes. The bucket will be able to easily lift 50 kg silt at one time from the depth of 40-50 ft. The highlighted innovation of this collaborative project is that it works on the design of desilting machine, analysis of hydraulic broom, MS plate’s thickness, material selection to lift a load up to 200 kg silt using bucket with enhanced factor of safety although there is no previous work done on this machine by Kissan Engineering PVT LTD. The use of a mobile, efficient desilting machine can be very useful to applications in different areas of Pakistan especially in Karachi. Currently, this particular project is on demand of Punjab intermediate cities improvement investment program (PICIIP) for the upgradation of existing solid-waste management sanitation and miscellaneous equipment for Sahiwal and Sialkot cities and it’s all under phase-I of the PICIIP. The desilting machine effectively lifts silt up to 200 kg. The design of a mobile desilting machine consists of cab, chassis, sub-frame on chassis, hydraulics, main boom, tipper, tipper jack, bucket grabber, reels, pulley, wires and other connecting parts.
