Description

Beaches are one of the main tourist attractions in the coastal parts of India. They are also the most
polluted. Most government neglected cleaning of beaches. The main reason being the difficult nature
of cleaning it. It takes up lot of resources and time. The workers need to manually pick the waste. The
waste when thrown in the sand gets covered with the sand by the heavy coastal winds. This makes the
spotting of waste difficult. It is difficult for the workers to clean as they have to dig each cubic feet to
collect the waste. The heat and humid climate of the beaches makes the working conditions worse.
Many organisations and government bodies are taking several steps to get rid of the waste
accumulated in beaches more effectively. India has a long stretch of coastline of about 7517 Km with
nearly 170 famous beaches both on eastern and western coasts.

Our aim of work is to design and fabricate the beach cleaning machine. We have created a simple
economical design so that it will be easy for maintenance and use. The parts have been sourced
locally so replacement parts will be easier to get. The machine is environment friendly and can run in
any conditions offered by the beach. We have designed and manufactured a beach cleaning machine
which is both cheap and easy to use. It does not have a huge learning curve. The machine runs on
human power or electric motor. The electric motor is powered by solar panels. This gives an
advantage over the current models available in the market which runs in fuel motors. The entire
machine is able to fit in the rear of a car.g technology, software used, bill of materials, feasibility
study etc.
