Digitalization of electric panel of degreasing plant
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryDegreasing is the removal of grease and oil from a surface. It is widely used to remove oils and oil-borne soils from objects that have been stamped, machined, welded, die-cast, etc.
Degreasing cleans almost all electronic assemblies, electrical components and almost all metals, and nearly any size or shape part can be cleaned.
Degreasing is an essential part of the production process, particularly in industries fabricating or assembling metal parts, such as aircraft, appliances, automotive, electronics and railroad. Degreasing is a process for removing water-insoluble substances such as:
- Grease
- Fats
- Oils
- Waxes
- Carbon deposits
- Fluxes
- Tars
The objectives we want to achieve in this project are as under:
- Control complete system through Arduino microcontroller
- Automate the renewal of solvent (Chemical)
- Automate the moving of weapons from one section to another.
- Use timers to time every section for ideal results.
- Minimize human contact with the machine.
Project will be implemented in hardware form. We will be using a conveyer belt and time sensors for moving of weapons and time control of the sections. For the monitoring and control an Arduino (Microcontroller) will be used. This setup will allow us to move the weapons through the sections without manual work.
The project will be completed in stages. Firstly, we have covered most of the theoretical part. We will then be moving on the equipment section which will include testing and working on each component individually. This section will also cover the programming phase. Then we will be entering the experiment phase where all parts are to be tested to get us our desired results.
Benefits of the ProjectThe degreasing plant is operated manually from an electric panel. So, there is no time defined for operation of each section of the machine. The machine operator has to manually open and close doors of the section and also transfer weapons from one section to another. Another problem is that the machine has to replace the solvent (Chemical) after 40 days that too manually causing the operations to stop for 24 hours. Similarly, in case of emergency the system has to be turned off manually. Buying new plants is very expensive and can cost a company in millions.
