Abstract: The Motorised Cow Dung Collecting Machine is an innovative, low-cost automated system designed to address the labour-intensive and unhygienic process of manual cow dung collection in dairy farms and cattle sheds. This project proposes the design, fabrication, and testing of a battery-operated machine capable of collecting, consolidating, and transporting cow dung with minimal human effort.
The machine is constructed around a robust 1-inch square pipe frame structure, mounted on four 4-inch wheels for smooth floor mobility. A 45 RPM DC geared motor drives the machine's forward and rotational motion through a chain and sprocket transmission system. The drivetrain incorporates a 20 mm shaft supported by P204 pedestal bearings. Two 6V DC batteries connected in series supply a 12V DC power source, regulated through an on/off switch and wired with 0.5 mm copper wire. The dung collecting mechanism positioned at the front of the machine scrapes and channels dung into a collection bin.
