Abstract

Mechanical drain cleaner is offered as a replacement for human drainage cleaning. Cleaning the drain using the usual tool like drain hoes and rubbish pickers was ineffective and can be picked rubbish in small amounts. Furthermore, people or laborers also easily catch infections due to a large amount of waste in the drain. Therefore, this study aims to design a product that can be picked up rubbish from the drain using SolidWorks software and fabricate a drain-cleaning device. In this product, the system consists of metal teeth jaws that wait at the bottom of the mechanism. A motorized shaft connected by a chain to the jaws elevated the jaw at predetermined intervals. The jaws then reached the top and the waste dump into the basket. In conclusion, this drain cleaner device wayed more effective than the usual one and can prevent the high risk of infections.
