| Sl No | Components/Parts used (mechanical or electrical) | Mechanical or working principle identified | Links |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Electrical: Electric motor, motor controller, water pump Mechanical: Rotating brush rollers, shafts, bearings, conveyor, water spray pipes, frame. | The rotating brush mechanism consists of four cylindrical brush rollers arranged sequentially inside the washing chamber. the rotating brushes provide mechanical scrubbing while water is sprayed from overhead nozzles to remove loosened dirt and contaminants. | (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPvBmbf8HR8&utm_source=chatgpt.com) |
| 2 | Electrical: Geared motor, motor controller, water pump. Mechanical: Rotating drum | The drum rotates slowly to continuously tumble and move the fruits or vegetables through the washing zone while water is sprayed over the product. Power is transmitted from the motor and gearbox to the drum through a chain-and-sprocket or timing-belt mechanism. | (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwJjPDTuKMQ&utm_source=chatgpt.com) |
| 3 | Electrical: Motor, water pump, control panel, power supply. Mechanical: Conveyor belt, high-pressure spray nozzles, water collection tank, filter, pipes. | The spray mechanism consists of a network of stainless-steel spray pipes or manifolds positioned above the rotating brushes or drum to provide continuous and uniform water coverage over the fruits and vegetables. The spray pipes and nozzles should be removable for cleaning and fabricated from food-grade stainless steel, | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwJjPDTuKMQ&utm_source=chatgpt.com) |
