Abstract
The goal of this project is to develop a beach cleaning machine that is more energy efficient, cost effective, and easy to use. The machine operates using a simple push and pull mechanism, enabled by its wheel-based design. While there are many beach cleaning machines available on the market, most are complex and expensive. This device is designed to automatically collect trash from the beach, eliminating the need to manually dig through the sand for debris. It also includes a mechanism to separate waste from sand, making it easier to maintain and well-suited for use in sandy environments. One of the key innovations in the design is a built-in separation system that efficiently distinguishes between sand and waste materials, ensuring that only trash is collected while the clean sand is returned to the beach. This not only improves the effectiveness of the cleaning process but also minimizes environmental disruption. The machine is lightweight, easy to transport, and requires minimal maintenance, making it suitable for frequent use in various sandy environments. Overall, the development of this machine aims to promote environmental sustainability through practical, accessible and affordable technology.
