RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

6.1 OVERVIEW

6.2 ADVANTAGES

Large amount of waste can be separated.Segregate waste into dry, wet and
metallic.Easy to decompose.Waste management is more effective.

6.3 DISADVANTAGES

Consumes more time.Sizes of waste must be lesser than the dimensions of

funnel.E-waste, Sanitary waste and medical waste cannot be segregated by the
proposed system.

6.4 OUTPUT PARAMETERS

6.5 SNAP SHOTS

6.6FUTURE SCOPE

Inlet section can be incorporated with a crushermechanism to reduce the size

of the incoming waste.Inlet section can also be integrated with a blowermechanism
to dehumidify the waste input in thesystem.Range for the inductive proximity
sensor can beincreased.Provisions can be made for on spot decompositionof wet
waste. GSM contraption to intimate to the nearest industryto use the metals
collected. Plastics can be segregated from the collected drywaste and also be
processed based on their types,grades and colors. Thus further separation of dry
waste can also be done.

CONCLUSION

The waste segregator as the name suggests, segregatesthe waste into three
major classes: dry, wet, metallic. The inlet section is provided with open and
closemechanism to regulate the flow of waste on to the conveyor. Inductive
proximity sensor is used to detect themetallic waste. The signal from the proximity
sensorinitiates the push mechanism to discard the metallicwaste.A blower
mechanism is used to segregate dry and wetwaste.The timing and movement of the
conveyor belt iscontrolled by PIC18F452 microcontroller. Continuous
andunnecessary operation of any particular section is thusavoided.
