Abstract

Maintenance of drains/gutters is huge problem faced by the entire world and especially our country. Manual scavenging is not only unethical but also leads to a high risk of them catching infections or poisoning due to large amounts of waste/chemicals in them. We have provided a motorized drain gutter cleansing mechanism to tackle the modern day gutter jamming issues. Our system is designed in a manner such that fluids are let to flow through but large solid waste like bottles & plastic are caught and accumulated. So human supervision is only needed to take out the segregated waste for further treatment. Hence these gutter cleaning systems can be installed at various points instead of manual labour for entire gutter floors. Since the world is also facing a fossil fuel crisis, the system will be powered with the help of solar energy so as to make it nature friendly and cost effective in the long run. Solar panels, connected to a battery power the system using the radiation received from sunlight. This makes the system not only completely automated but also, environment friendly.
