Project Summary

This project is aimed at automating the sorting and bottle filling. This project will automatically sort bottle according to their size by using IR sensors. Then it sorts the bottle on the designated portion of conveyor belt and passes it to the Solenoid Operated Valves to fill the bottles. The overall system is liberated from human intervention. The system is comprehensive and efficient, thus can help in automating the sorting and bottle filling.Industrial Automation plays an increasingly important part in the global economy and also in daily experience. At present, for companies, the purpose of automation has shifted from growing productivity and reducing costs to broader issues. This work takes the idea of automatic sorting and bottle filling. The control system uses programmable logic controller. Sorting of bottles is done on the conveyer belt via IR sensors and then these bottles are filled by actuating the solenoid valves. The conveyors are used in many automated industries for moving parts from one place to another. The second concern is the bottle filling. Once the bottle is sorted, conveyer belt transfers it under the water tank for filling.

Project Objectives

The main objectives of our project are:

 Sorting of bottles on the basis of their respective sizes

 Filling of bottles using SOV

controlling speed of induction motor

Project Implementation Method

The IR sensors are clamped at specific height to detect the bottles according to their heights. When the sensor detects the bottle, it gives signal to the PLC. Controller drives the AC motor for push mechanism, in this way sorting of bottle is done. In second stage, after sorting, when the bottle reaches near to the water reservoir. IR sensor detects bottle again it generates the logic 1. The PLC receives that signal, and at the same time it performs two functions by switching two relays. The first relay stops the motor which is driving the conveyor belt. Secondly, solenoid valve is actuated via second relay.

Benefits of the Project

In automated factories production rate is very high, so sorting and filling of bottles need to run at fast speed. To separate the bottle on the basis of their sizes, shapes or height sorting system is applied. After that these bottles are filled up to some specific level.

For that purpose bottle filling system is required. This type of system provide following benefits:

1. Stability and safety

2. Easy to operate and maintain

3. Factory price

4. Low running cost
