Design of a Waste Separating Machine

The following research was developed in the framework of a draft environmental care, as one of the links where it was to perform the separation of waste in a public place like UCLA, the University to sensitize people about the separation of waste that there are handled. An example of a design of a similar machine was conducted by Prof. Enrique Limongi (2004) on the UCV, in which a mechanical structure design of the machine was performed. Before starting the design were identified and the physical and chemical waste features handling the University community , as a consequence of this study sufficient data were studied similarity and differences between obtained waste , to make the selection of how that would be achieved separated from each other . After defining the mechanisms of separation of waste using, he proceeded to structural mechanical design of the machine, for this first drawing sheets were made of each section of the machine and assembly thereof, then proceed to make of the theoretical calculations and finally the materials are selected for each section of the machine. The research method used was feasible project. Note that when selecting waste materials a survey was conducted to the University community which was the most common residues in the deanery of Science and Technology and all were interviewed 100 students. The results of this study demonstrated that can automatically remove the most common waste campus and this contributes to the preservation of the environment. Finally is recommended the construction of the machine with the materials specified in the project and place one in each college dean.
