Description

The term ‘Mechanical Handling of Materials’ is important for loading-unloading and movement of materials. After discovering wheels and levers, materials have been moving via mechanical conveyors. In this article, a mechanical device will be introduced which can sieve and move granular and powder material at a same time. This device is recommended for construction sights. Sand can be sieved with this machine as sand is both known as powder and granular according to the diameter of sand particle. This device is normally designed for the building construction labors of Bangladesh with the construction theme of Screw Conveyor. The materials of this device have been selected under the consideration of monetary value. Design of this device has been completed with the help of Solid Works software. The manufacturing process and material selection process have also been described. The fabrication of the sieving machine is a prototype of actual product.
