INTRODUCTION:-
 Pedal Operated Washing Machine is a manually
operated washing machine which generates power
through human pedalling and with the drive
mechanism converts the pedalling motion into the
rotary motion for rotating the washer drum.
TYPES OF WASHING MACHINE
 According to the gates available,there are 2 types of
washing machine:-
 Top-loading
 Front-loading
 TOP-LOADING
In a top-loading washer, water circulates
primarily along the poloidal axis & vertical
axis during the wash cycle.
 Poloidal axis (shown by red arrow)
 Vertical axis is shown by blue arrow

This design places the clothes in vertically

mounted perforated basket i.e. contained
within a water-retaining tub. Clothes are
loaded through the top of the machine,
which is usually but not always covered
with hinged door.
FRONT-LOADING:-
 In a front-loading washer, water
circulated in horizontal axis,
agitating is supplied by back-and-
forth rotation of the cylinder and by
gravity. This layout mounts the inner
basket and outer tub horizontally,
and loading is through a door at the
front of the machine. The door is
often but not always contain
transparent window. Because less
water required, front loaders
typically use less detergent, and the
repeated dropping and folding
action of the tumbling can easily
produce large amount of foam or
suds
