Automatic Metal and Non-Metal Separating Conveyor Lecturer: Encik Shahrudin

The document describes an automatic metal and non-metal separating conveyor system. The conveyor separates objects by size (large or small) and material (metal or non-metal). Sensors detect the object properties and actuators divert the objects into the appropriate collection bins. The conveyor aims to efficiently separate and sort materials for recycling to reduce waste.

 Conveyor system is a process of
mechanical handling equipment that
moves materials from one location to
another. Conveyor system allows
quick and efficient transportation in
which in our project, we used
conveyor concept as material
handling.

 The purpose of our project is to


recycle paper which will eliminate
metal automatically.
 In our project, we intended to produce
a conveyor which is able to separate
metal and non-metal objects.
Furthermore, the conveyor can
separate the object according to its
sizes either the size is large or small.
 The bin contained the separated
materials in which will change
position if the limit sensor
acknowledge, and the motor will
moves and change to the empty bin.
The process will automatically stop if
the full bin is not change.
 To understand the concept of ladder
diagram, flowchart and I/O mapping
of the project

 To recycle paper by separating metal


or non-metal from the object
S1,start button button is
pressed,

output motor 1 start to


move to conveyer

Product will be placed on


the top of the conveyer

When the conveyer passed


through either S3 or S4,
S3 or S4 will determine
whether the object is a
large or small size object.

conveyer will then pass


through S5 or S6

S5 and S6 are actuators that


will push the objects into the
boxes.

Whether the large or small


size object is a metal product
or non-metal product
If the product is made of non-
metal, it will drop at the first two
slot box

if the product is made of metal,


it will pass to S7

when the system is


malfunction, S8 will start to
function

S8 will reset the whole system to run back


to correct way.
When the counter counting to 10

current start to supply to


C000

change the state from NO to NC

give supply to M2 to activate


the_________ M2
the motor clockwise will switch
off

the motor counterclockwise


switch on

slot box will change from


S9 to S10

When the S10 is full it will


return to S9.
If want the system to function
back

S8 need to be press the reset the


whole system

When S8 is pressed

C003 will change from NO to


NC to activate the IL003

the system will run back to


original state.
 During circuit test, we are having
so many problems with circuit
as it does not goes as we planned.
Thus, we decided to change the
plan and make a little
improvement in our project.

 From the hardware, our circuit


cannot connect directly power
supply or it will not properly
function. As a solution, we
directly connect it to the PLC to
make the system works.
 Besides, we are using PWM (Pulse
Width Modulation) to control the
speed of the M1 (conveyer Motor)
manually. It is to prevent the conveyer
from moving too fast or too slowly
and missed the object during the
operation.

 From the ladder diagram, we are using


P_1s command, so the sensor will able
to detect the object every second it
passes through and the actuator will
able to eliminate it into the right bin.
 They are particularly useful for
moving waste material
 To raise the level of safety
 To prevents the waste of useful
materials
 To reduce or eliminate routine manual
 Higher start-up cost and the cost of
operation.
 Higher cost of maintenance
 Unemployment
Nowadays, the industry demands high
quality and most consistent products with
a lower price but high quality products.
Even in recycling industries, conveyer is
an essential component of recycling and
waste management operations,
the conveyor system is a machinery
system designed to transport materials
from one place to another before
separating it.
As for this project, this conveyer is
basically used to sort different type of
object which is small, large and metal.
It’s also helps in understanding the
concept of ladder diagram, flowchart and
the operation of the system. This project
helps to create a system that reduce time
in sorting the waste for recycling. It’s also
useful for sorting the products in the
industry specifically large scale industries
where mass production is carried out.
