ABSTRACT
Experimental research on design and
fabrication of tank washing machine using local material was done within MOUAU
Engineering workshop and its Environment. The tank washing machine was
developed with efficiency and low cost in mind. It also aimed at eliminating
the drudgery in the operation of washing tanks by man which involves entering
inside the tank or not be washed. The bevel gear, 200gallon (750 liters) and
screw shaft was chosen based on the case of fabrication, availability of the
components parts and simplicity of operation. Moreover, the fabricated machine
was mounted inside the tank full with water, the operation worked perfectly
with the speed of 350.35rpm. The operational method of this machine makes the
washing in three directions by the method of clockwise and anticlockwise
locomotion which can be operated by human power of (0l3hp or 0.10kw) using
mechanical Pulley with the main screw shaft carries the brushes help to get the
wall and bottom of plastic tank cleaned.
