I.INTRODUCTION

Now a day’s all industries are interested to convert their conventional machine to fully automatic
machine, to make their industries fully automatic control. Fully automatic control System helps to
overcome the labor shortage and minimize the time of production their by decrease the cost of
production. Then people always prefer the most suitable way to cut their cost and time. Sand or any
mixture sub stand usually comes in different size and grid since some product required different size of
sand or mixture that why this machine been design to sieve the sand or sub stand into different size
depend on requirement needed.

 II.METHODOLOGY

The present paper comprises experimental investigation and also numerical investigation. In
experimental investigation the paper deals with the design, analysis and fabrication process of modern
sand sieving machine In numerical investigation the paper delivers the modeling of modern sand
sieving machine using Pro-E software and the deformation analysis is done using Ansys software.
Trommel and the weight of motor are mainly considered for the analysis on the main frame in order to
find out the maximum load bearing capacity.

III. EXPECTED RESULTS

Sand sieving have a capacity to sieve 2.76m 3 sand in an hour. Therefore time for loading and sieving
was reduced. Total time period for sieving process is calculated and comparative study with
conventional process was carried out. From the comparative study it was concluded that by using semi
automatic sieving machine, process time is reduced to 1/16 times of conventional process.
In numerical investigation, the deformation analysis and stress analysis on mainframe, feeder frame
and bucket are analyzed and presented in this paper.
