Metal and Nonmetal Product Sorting System with Conveyor Belt Using Pneumatic Technology.

Abstract

The developed automated sorting machine is able to incorporate flexibility and separate pieces of nonmetal object and at the same time move object automatically to the bucket as define buy the regulation of the microcontroller with a capacitive proximity sensor to detect a value rang of object .The result obtained shows that metal and nonmetal were sorted in to their respective and correct position with a good average time. The projected system involves sensing element, IR sensor, proximity sensor for sensing product exactly . This project comes with an idea of the sorting of metals & non-metals. It will be a revolution for industries in which proper management of materials is required for delivering quality assured products at cheaper prices. Sorting is done to separate out metal and non-metal materials differently. The whole setup is fully automated which is useful as well as eco-friendly.
