Abstract: In Present scenario packing of any product is a big task for ruler agriculture product & manufacturing industries
for safety and handling point in view to maintain clean(pollution free) environment. Corrugated paper sheet is better option
in rural areas for packaging purpose both for self-sustenance as well as source of subsidiary income to small farmers &
agricultural labors. There is no such machine is available in rural area for the packaging of agricultural products like
vegetables, grains and fruits etc. At present, no such machines at household level are available using HPFM.
The main theme is to Design a human energized paper corrugation machine for rural sector. The design evolves a new
concept of paper corrugation machine, which eliminates the limitations of packaging which is not available in ruler areas.
In this research, an approximate generalized experimental data based model for paper corrugation machine, has been made
by varying some independent parameters during experimentation, it is clear that one will have to decide what should be the
minimum human energy to be supplied for suitable output of formation of corrugated paper sheet in minimum time, and
also find out what should be the resistive torque offered by the system for the formation of corrugated paper in minimum
time. This is possible if quantitative relationship amongst various dependent and independent variables of the system to be
determined. This relationship would be known as the mathematical model of this mechanical system. It is well known that
such a model for the mechanical system cannot be expressed by applying logic, the only option is to express an experimental
data based model suggested by Hilbert Sc. Hence, it is decided to evaluate an experimental data based model. In this approach
all the independent variables are vary through possible range, a response data gets collected and an analytical relationship
is established for the mechanical system. Once such a relationship is established then the method of optimization can be
applied to deduce the values of independent variables at which the necessary responses can be minimized or maximized.

I. INTRODUCTION
Formation of corrugated sheets can be also undertaken on commercial basis for packaging. The number of small farmers &
agricultural labourers are very large in the rural area and hence they can also produce the bags or boxes made from corrugated
sheets; it is used for packaging of agriculture items. Later they can directly sell their product to customer as per requirement
and get the profit from it without any mediator. The commercial industries require electrical power & hence increase the cost
of processing of formation of corrugated paper sheets. Human powered corrugated sheet machine is environment friendly and
sheets are recycles after use. It will bring Innovation & Mechanization in agricultural packaging industries. Unskilled or
semiskilled workers may also get employment in rural packaging sector. Design of human powered corrugated paper sheet
machine will furthermore help the community by receiving socio-economic benefits.
The basic framework of this unit consists of Human powered flywheel motor unit, torque
transmitting unit and process unit which corrugate the paper.
B. Improved methods:
Cardboard packaging is one of the most extensively used forms of packaging of goods. The corrugated sheet is
stiff, strong and light in weight material made up of layers of brown craft paper. These brown craft paper reels
are transported to a corrugation machine, where this paper gets crimped and glued to from corrugated paper
sheet called as single face corrugated board and then this single face corrugated board is cut giving requisite
dimension on the cutting machine. According to requirement by adding another corrugating medium and a
third flat printed liner produces a double wall corrugated board or triple wall corrugated sheets on gluing or
bonding machine called as 3ply, 5ply and 7ply.
Then these cardboards are moved to creasing and cutting machine where extra material is removed and
creasing operation is done (i.e. From where the box get folded). The next operation is slotting operation where
the strip is slotted for stitching and lastly with stitching operation, corrugated box is manufactured.
C. Need of Research
Scope of present research is to establish design data for paper corrugation machine energized by human
powered flywheel motor. The paper corrugation machine concept based on human powered flywheel motor is the
necessity in order to develop the rural area in terms of packaging industry correlated with agriculture industry.
Encourage rural development and self-employment jobs are generated in villages to increase the confidence and
motivation of the peoples related to agriculture field.

Further to reduce the complexity and to obtain the ease in the behaviour of the system analysis, the pi terms of
independent variables are compact by reduction of variables process as suggested by Schenk Jr. The next table

Thus the flywheel will decelerate contingent on the resisting torque offered by the process mechanism. It indicates
that the peddler does not need to pedal, while the flywheel is supplying energy to the process mechanism. After
engagement of the clutch, there is a transfer of stored kinetic energy from the energy unit and the process
mechanism .The process mechanisms shaft is thus suddenly accelerated and, once reaching its maximum speed,
it is endangered to deceleration. This deceleration is induced by the resistance offered on account of process unit
consist of paper corrugation mechanism. The transmission unit consists of the gear pair G2 and G3 which is
coupled to the process mechanism through coupling. The process mechanism consists of paper corrugation roller
which is connected to transmission unit through shaft and coupling. Because of which the process unit runs and
corrugated paper is form.

V. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTATION
The experimental setup is shown in the Figures 8. In the corrugated paper sheet processing, the objective of the
experiment is to gathered information through experimentation for formulation of Mathematical model for
corrugated paper sheet making processing operations. During forming operation for the measurement resistance
torque, torque without load is measured. And same time the speed of flywheel shaft and speed of process unit
shaft were measured with time.

D. Experimental Approach
A theoretical approach can be adopted in a case. If known logic can be applied correlating the various dependent
and independent parameters of the system. Though qualitatively, the relationships between the dependent and
independent parameters are known, based on the available literature, the generalized quantitative relationships are
not known sometimes. Hence formulating the quantitative relationship based on the logic is not possible in the
case of complex phenomenon. On account of no possibility of formulation of theoretical model (logic based) one
is left with the only alternative of formulating experimental data based model. Hence, it is proposed to formulate
such a model in the present investigation. The approach adopted for formulating generalized experimental model
suggested by Hilbert Schenck Jr [B-7] is stepwise indicated below.
1. Identification of independent, dependent and extraneous variables.
2. Reduction of independent variables adopting dimensional analysis
3. Test planning comprising of determination of test envelope, test points, test sequence and experimentation
plan.
4. Physical design of an experimental set up.
5. Execution of experimentation.
6. Purification of experimentation data.
7. Formulation of the model.
8. Model optimization.
9. Reliability of the model.
10. ANN simulation of the experimental data.
VI .CONCLUSION
1. Design, development and fabrication of a new type of corrugated paper sheet making activity by human
powered flywheel motor will work on non conventional energy source.
2. This machine is helps to reduce environmental pollution as the packing bags or cartons made from corrugated
papers, hence environment friendly.
3. In developing countries like India and china where ample human power energy is available along huge
construction business, such human powered flywheel machine systems will help to a great extend to improve the
economical condition and employability of such countries.
4. The test results proved that response variables process time, resistive torque, output length of corrugated sheet
& speed of corrugated roller are significantly influenced by changing important six dimensionless π terms. The
process parameters grouped in π terms were recommended the effective guidelines to the manufacturer for
improving the present operations by changing any one or all from the available process parameters
