Abstract-In this project the proposal concept is to
replace the manual work in drainage cleaning by
automated system. Now a day’s even through
automation plays a vital role in all industrial
applications in the proper disposal of sewages
from industries and commercials are still a
challenging task. Drainage pipes are using for the
disposal and unfortunately sometimes there may
1. INTRODUCTION
Water is a basic necessity of human and all
living beings. There is a plenty of water on
earth that is not suitable for human use. The
impurities present in water can cause
hazardous diseases. Waste water is defined as
the flow of used water from homes, business
industries, commercial activities and
institutions which are subjected to the
treatment plants by a carefully designed and
engineered network of pipes. The biggest
impact of cleaning the chemical wastes can
cause respiratory diseases and it plays a
challenging issue for the municipality
officers. Water damage is classified as three
types of contaminated water. They are clean
water, gray water and black water. Clean
water is from a broken water supply line or
leaking faucet. If not treated quickly, this
water can turn into black water or gray water,
depending on length of time, temperature,
and contact with surrounding contaminants.
Gray water is contaminated water that causes
discomfort or illness. It includes washing
machine overflow; toilet overflow with some
urine, and dishwasher overflow. Black water
is grossly contaminated and could cause
severe illness or death if ingested and
avoided such as flooding from rivers or
streams, water from beyond the toilet trap,
water from the toilet bowl, or standing water
that has begun to support microbial growth.
A drainage ditch is a narrow channel
that is dug at the side of a road or field to
carry away the water. Nowadays, even
Universal College of Engineering and Technology, Vallioor, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India
be loss of human life while cleaning the blockages
in the drainage pipes. To overcome this problem
and to save the human life we implement design
“automatic sewage cleaning system”. We
designed our project to use this in efficient way to
control the disposal of wastages and with regular
filtration of wastages, clearance of gaseous
substance are treated separately and monitor the
disposal of frequent manner
though automation plays a vital role in all
industrial applications in the proper disposal
of sewages from industries and sewage
cleaning is still a challenging task. Drainage
pipes are used for the disposal of sewage and
unfortunately sometimes there may be loss of
human life while cleaning the blockages in
the drainage pipes. The municipality workers
are only responsible to ensure that the sewage
is clean or not. Though they clean the ditches
at the side of buildings, they can’t clean in
very wide sewages. The municipality
workers need to get down into the sewage
sludge to clean the wide sewage. It affects
their health badly and also causes skin
allergies.
With the continued expansion of
industries, the problem of sewage water must
be urgently resolved due to the increasing
sewage problems from industries to the
surrounding environment. To overcome this
problem and to save the human life this
design of sewage cleaning machine is
proposed. In the proposal concept, the
manual work in drainage cleaning is replaced
by an automated system. The existing system
is designed in order to reduce the load of
workers and to make clean India. This
machine can be placed inside the drainage
pipe to remove all the wastes like plastic and
thermocol. Changes have been made in the
proposed project which can move with the
function of a remote control. This enables the
workers to clean the sewage by operating the

machine with a simple remote control. The
machine operator doesn’t need much skill
and it is looks very simple and economical
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
Today the advanced time has such a variety
of advances for make our life modern. Like
that cleaning procedure is likewise play a
critical part. For example, our Smart
Cleaning System do the residential reason
cleaning flawlessly and keep the mosquito
era from the sewage by the way intestinal
sickness, influenza and so forth illnesses are
stayed away from In future the robotization
cleaning framework will be lies on each
different house sewage cleaning framework
[1]. It was found out that at the absence of
some variables like heavy winds, the
propeller moved at a rate relative to the
velocity of the running water. The cleaner
functioned move effectively during the
heavier rains which had more volume of
running water with garbage and high
velocity. The pan functioned effectively. It
moved at a rate relative to the velocity of
the running water and at the rate of the
propeller.
The deplete squander water cleaner
machine is outlined and produced by
utilizing gear changing and shaft coupling
standard. It comprise principally DC
adapted engine, shafts, squander
evacuation plates, clean container,
heading, sprocket and chains Construction
materials are effortlessly available, creates
work (development and
maintenance),simple to build.
Mechanization is an innovation
worried with his utilization of mechanical,
electronic and PC based frameworks to
work and control generation. This
framework is utilized to operate automatic
sewage cleaning equipment. This venture
might be created with the full use of men,
machines, and materials and cash.
Additionally we have taken after
altogether the investigation of time

movement and made our venture
temperate and productive with the
accessible assets. This framework was
Designed, Fabricated effectively and
furthermore tried. It works satisfactorily.
We trust that this will be done among the
most flexible and compatible one even in
future.

Methodology used for whole processing of
Drainage cleaning Machine is given below;
this methodology gives way about how
work is to be carried out in systematic way.
It is standard process of describing process,
how it is done in simplest manner.

V. OBJECTIVES
The major objectives of the proposed work
are, Design of mechanical drainer, taking
into account the various factors that might
affect the functionality of the equipment.
Fabrication of the model and Assembling of
the model carried out, then process are
studied and optimized for effective semi-
automatic drainer for sewage water treatment
for floating materials.
VI.METHODOLOGY
The device is place across a drain so that
only water flows through the lower
basement. Floating waste like bottles, plastic
cans, covers…..etc. is lifted by lifters which
are connected to the chain. The chain
revolves with the sprocket wheel which is
driven by the motor. The energy provided to
the motor is electrical energy. When motor
runs the chain starts to circulate making the
lifter to lift up. The wastage material are
lifted by lifter teeth and stored in storage or
collecting bin. Once the collecting bin is full,
the waste materials are removed from the
bin.
VII.CONCLUSION
Modern services are becoming polarized.
With the emergence of more and more
automatic terminal services, modern services
are also gradually becoming unmanned. Thus
Universal College of Engineering and Technology, Vallioor, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India
this semi automated sewage cleaning system
helps in cleaning the sewage automatically
and helps in decreasing the spread of diseases
due to direct human intervention into the
sewage. Since the system operation mainly
depends
on high level programming, it can be
extended as per requirements. This system is
time saving, portable, affordable, consumes
less power and can be made easily available
so that can use this system whenever and
wherever
Thus, these kinds of machines
operate based on the application of
electronics engineering, mechanical
engineering and electrical engineering,
which are collectively termed as
‘Mechatronics’. Drainage from industries is
treated through this project to meet the
national emission standards, with stable
operation, low cost and good effect. Drainage
wastewater control is treated by this method
to irrigate plants, clean toilets, etc. This
system functions move effectively during
heavier rains, which have more volume of
garbage running water
VII.FUTURE SCOPE
In India, sewage drains are open. So people
throw waste in sewage drains. Plastic bottles
are used in most places and are thrown as
such into the sewages. This project will be
very useful in cleaning these areas. In future,
it is possible to make it a fully automated
system by the implementation of control
algorithms. Thus, this project helps in
making our nation clean and healthy.
