1. INTRODUCTION
India's coastal beaches, a prominent tourist attraction, are marred by severe pollution, often neglected by the
government due to the challenging nature of their cleaning. Manual labour-intensive efforts are hampered by the
constant sand cover caused by coastal winds, turning waste removal into a difficult and time-consuming task. The
harsh heat and humidity of beach environments further exacerbate the working conditions. Some governments
have invested in costly beach cleaning machines, which, unfortunately, suffer from frequent breakdowns and
require imported spare parts, rendering them unsustainable. Moreover, these machines, powered by heavy fuel-
based motors, inadvertently contribute to pollution, shifting the problem rather than solving it. In response to these
challenges, we present a pragmatic, cost-effective solution—a beach cleaning machine that is easy to use and
maintain. Sourced locally, spare parts are readily available. Our innovation can be operated manually or with an
electric motor, can be powered by solar panels or rechargeable batteries, reducing environmental impact and
providing an advantage over traditional fuel-powered models in the market. This approach not only aids in
pollution reduction but also mitigates the economic burden associated with expensive machines that often remain
unused due to operational complexities and maintenance issues. Our beach garbage cleaning machine is a
sustainable alternative to tackle the pollution problems in India's coastal areas.
1.1 Project Background
Beaches are renowned for their natural beauty and the sense of tranquillity they offer, attracting millions of tourists
and serving as vital ecosystems. However, in recent years, many of the world’s beaches have been plagued by the
growing problem of beach pollution, primarily caused by the accumulation of the garbage and plastic waste. This
pollution is not only harming the aesthetic of the beach but also poses significant environmental, economic, and
health risks. Traditional method of beach cleaning, often involving manual labour, are insufficient to tackle the
magnitude of the problem. To address this issue effectively, the development and deployment of Beach Garbage
Cleaning Machine have become an innovative solution.

1.2 Chain Drive Mechanism
We have seen in belt and rope drives that slipping may occur. In order to avoid the slipping, steel chains are used.
The steel chains are made up of rigid links which is hinged together in order to provide the necessary flexibility
for warping around the driving wheels and driven wheels. The wheels have projecting teeth which fits into the
corresponding recesses that is in the links of the chain as shown in Figure: 1. The wheels and the chain are then
constrained to move together without slipping and ensuring the perfect velocity ratio. The toothed wheels are also
known as sprocket wheels or simply sprockets. These wheels resemble to spur gears. The chains are mostly used
to transmit motion and power from one shaft to another, when the distance between the centres of the shafts is
short such as in bicycles, motor cycles, agricultural machinery, road rollers, etc.

[2] mentioned in their project that aims to design and manufacture a river waste cleaning machine to reduce water
pollution and aquatic animal mortality. The machine will remove waste from water surfaces, reducing manpower
and time spent cleaning rivers. The machine will use a motor and chain drive arrangement, storing energy using
a battery. The project involves drawing a 3D model, manufacturing, assembling, and testing the parts.
C Balasuthagar1, Dinesh Shanmugam1 and K Vigneshwaran2, 2020 [3] mentioned in their project that
beaches in India are a popular tourist attraction but are also polluted. Governments neglect cleaning due to
resource and time constraints. Workers manually pick waste, and the heat and humid climate make it difficult. To
address this, a beach cleaning machine has been designed and manufactured. The machine is economical, easy to
maintain, and can run on human power or electric motor powered by solar panels. It is also environmentally
friendly and fits in the rear of a car.
Prof. J. Shelke", Bhakti Bhakare", Komal Lute", Ashreyash Pateshwari", Harsh Khodiyar”, 2020 [4]
mentioned in their project that beach pollution is a significant issue affecting human health and aquatic life.
Research on beach cleaning aims to address this by using both manual and automated waste collection systems,
aiming to make them convenient and efficient.
Ramamoorthi R, Ramachandran N, Nikiles PD, Jayasurya R, Natheesh MD, Nithin K Biju, 2019 [5]
mentioned in their project that beach cleaning machine has been designed to combat environmental pollution
caused by plastic waste on beaches. The machine uses an Arduino board and an app to pick up rags, reducing
human effort. The app allows for 10-meter Bluetooth control, and a 3-D model has been developed for analysis.
The machine is cost-efficient, efficient, and user-friendly.
Vivek Dhole, Omkar Doke, Ajitkumar Kakade, Shrishail Teradae, Prof. Rohit Patil, 2019 [6] mentioned in
their project that Due to the difficulties faced in keeping the beach clean manually, we have come up with

equipment which not only collects the waste (sticks, on degradable waste) but also separates, which is easy for
waste disposal. The machine mainly consists of an engine which runs through a fossil fuel which drives the entire
process. The waste is collected through conveyor blade along with the sand which falls of through the perforations
on the conveyor back to the sand bed; separation of waste material takes place through principle of Density
difference. It consists of two hoppers where the different waste gets collected which facilitates easy disposal of
waste.
Amit Kumar Yadav', Animesh Singh, M. A. Murtaza and Ajendra Kumar Singh, 2018 [7] mentioned in their
project that the Trash and litter on beaches pose threats to coastal animals and tourism industries. Traditional
methods involve manual labour or large machines, but these are costly and time-consuming. To address this issue,
autonomous trash collection and disposal methods are needed. This paper presents a solar power device that can
pick up and dispose of miscellaneous litter on beaches, filtering the sand and storing it in a self-attached trash
box. This innovative solution addresses the growing issue of trash on beaches.

4.3 Working
A Beach Garbage Cleaning Machine is a common simple beach cleaning machine which operates through a
motorized system, devoid of automation. It consists of a motor-driven sprocket chain arrangement, a rake or scoop
mechanism that collects debris like plastic, litter, and seaweed from the sand. The collected waste is then
transported onto a storage tank for disposal. The machine relies solely on manual control and steering by an
operator, ensuring efficient and controlled beach clean-up without automation's complexity.
