Abstract:
With the growing population rate, the amount of waste being produced is
also increasing at a very fast rate. These days in our environment waste
management is one of the major problems, the best solution has been
proposed to solve this problem is segregating this waste and recycle it. But
segregating it manually is complex, dangerous and utilizes more human
efforts, cost and time.
The proposed system designed to separate five types of wastes into
respective bins automatically by the sensing of different sensors
(capacitive, inductive, proximity and photoelectric sensors) to detect any
object which is moving on a conveyor belt with the help of hydraulic
cylinders.
The programmable logic controller (PLC) used as main component and
proposed system is simulated using Siemens Semitic S7-200 simulator and
the results show that the system has been programmed successfully.
