Abstract

Car Our project's goal is to create a beach cleaning machine that is both economical and effective in order to lower the expenses and labor involved in using conventional beach cleaning techniques. Our device is easy to transport and operate because it can fit in a car's trunk. Ecofriendliness has been given top priority, and we have made sure that replacement parts are available locally. Our inspiration for this project stemmed from seeing how poorly the government maintains beaches, frequently using antiquated, labor-intensive techniques to collect trash. Our device provides a workable solution to this issue and is accessible to both small and large organizations, even those with tight budgets. Waste collection, sorting, disposal, and oil separation are the machine's four primary tasks. Waste and oil are sorted using an advanced locking mechanism and a spoked conveyor belt. After that, the oil and waste are placed in a box behind the machine. SolidWorks was used in the entire machine's design process.
