Design and development of an automatic dry waste segregator for household and institutional wastes

The rise in urban waste generation India comes from the consumerist behaviour and ever-increasing population density cities. A vast majority of this collected is dumped into landfills. rural situation somewhat akin except for amount generated less traditionally informal method recovery reuse have been implemented a long time. So, to scale down perplexity minimize human effort, an enticing idea cost-effective ‘Automatic segregator’ has conceptualized segregation waste. automatic segregator designed be installed housing colonies organisations like schools facilitates efficient sorting dry wastes three separate categories namely: ferromagnetic metals, paper plastic. shredder used mince lump required size while magnetic drum removing metals pile. plastic separating unit developed based on thermal principle. Various explicit dynamics investigations carried out by means finite element tool analyse total deformation components transient analysis order understand temperature variation. prototype segregates household institutional with average overall efficiency 86.78% 91.82% respectively.
