BAMBOO HANGER .
INTRODUCTION- The hand-powered bamboo hanger making machine is developed to improve the efficiency of bamboo hanger production compared to the traditional manual method. In the conventional process, a worker can produce only 30–40 hangers per day, requiring about 7–8 minutes per hanger. The proposed machine reduces the production time to1–3 minutes per hanger, allowing a single operator to manufacture approximately 200–300 hangers per day. The machine provides higher productivity, better uniformity, reduced labour effort, less material wastage, and offers an economical and sustainable solution for small-scale bamboo industries
Objectives and Methodology-
The main objective of this project is to develop a hand-powered bamboo hanger making machine capable of efficiently assembling all the small components of a bamboo hanger in less time. The machine aims to increase productivity, reduce labour effort, improve assembly accuracy, and provide a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to the traditional manual manufacturing process
METHODOLOGY–
- Study the elastic and plastic properties of bamboo to identify the most efficient bending method.
- Determine the required bending radius and dimensions of the bamboo hanger.
- Design the hand-powered bamboo hanger making machine using SolidWorks
- Assemble the components and develop the working prototype.
- Conduct performance testing to evaluate bending efficiency, production rate, and quality of the hangers produced.
