 ABSTRACT

 The aim of the project is to design and fabrication of the

sand separator machine.
 It is a modified form of conventional machine that helps to
separate the sand using motor as a source of energy and
single slider arrangement to control.
 This machine is a mechanical device used to raise or
otherwise exert a force on an tray linked in chain drive.
 INTRODUCTION

 The aim of the project is to design and fabrication of the

sand separator machine.
 A sand separator is a device that separates sand from
other solids.
 More specifically, as the name suggest, sand separator
separates unwanted elements like stones, foreign objects,
unnecessary particles from the sand which are dumped on
filter to obtained the finest possible sand’s grain.
 COMPONENTS USED

 Filter frame
 Frame or Structure
 Motor
 Roller or Slider
 Connecting Rod and Crank shaft (Single Slider Crank
Mechanism)
 Plane steel sheet
More about component used

 Filter Frame- A filter frame is a body inside which sand filter

frame mesh is fixed. This frame can be changeable according
to requirement of sand gradient.

 Frame or Structure- It is a rigid structure of cast iron or
steel which is used to mount all the components on or inside
it. It gives support and strength to the system.

 A.C. Motor- A 200 rpm motor is used in the Sand Separator
which is more than enough to run crank into rotational
motion.
Our sand separated is completely automated and this
couldn't get possible if we didn't used motor in the system.

 Roller or Slider- A roller or slider is used in between the
structure and filter frame in order to use maximum
amount of energy of motor without loosing energy in the
form of heat due to friction.

Fig: Rollers
 Single Slider Crank Mechanism- It is the modification of four
bar chain mechanism. It consist of one sliding pair (Roller or
slider) and three turning pairs. This mechanism coverts
rotary motion into reciprocating motion and vice versa.

 Plane steel sheet- It is flat rectangular thin sheet of steel
with smooth surface.

 CONSTRUCTION
 Filter frame is mounted on rollers. Rollers are attached with
structure so that filter frame can have smooth horizontal motion on
structure.
 Filter frame is connected to rotating crank shaft (Powered by
motor) with the help of connecting rod, this arrangement is called
single slider crank mechanism.
 A steel sheet is fixed inside the structure diagonally and two sheets
of triangle shape is used in both side to avoid the wastage of sand.
 Filter frame is changeable of different grating size according to the
sand grain size requirements.
 WORKING PRINCIPLE

 When sand filter is activated, motor starts to rotate in

such a way that rotational motion of the motor is
converted to reciprocating motion which is transferred to
filter of our sand separator. When unfiltered sand are
drop on the filter, due to continuous reciprocating
movement of filter, it starts to filter the sand. These
filtered sand of fine grains are fallen into the diagonal
sheet and due to gravity, fine grain sands are collected in
a collector.
 PROS

 Take less time to separate sands.

 No manual operation required.
 No skilled worker required.
 Simple in construction.
 Negligible maintenance required.
 CONS

 Lower capacity to separate at a time.

 Not suitable for mass sand separations.
 Required special care to minimized the vibrations.
 APPLICATION

 Construction field- Road construction, building

construction etc.
 Industries- Powder metallurgy plant etc.
 Agriculture Field- Flour mill, Corn shelling, Peanut
shelling etc.
