 Problem statement
 It is estimated that there will be shortage of labour in the future due
to lack of skilled labour , increase of labour cost and less intrest of
youth.
 Also tecnological adavances are forcing rapid changes in building

construction which mainly consist of comercial infratruscture and

residential building where plaster work is must.
 Plaster work is mainly done manually by labours due to which its
more costly, more time consuming, less precise and have less quality.

Objective
.
 Our aim is to reduce the work of labours and automate the process
 It will be less time consuming as compared to manual plaster
 In the longer run it will be less costly as compared to overall labour
costs.
 It will be more precise and will give consistent quality.
 It will be simple design and will be very easy to operate
 Progress
Extensive research was done to identify the process and materials that
will be used for this project .
Materials used
The structure will be fabricated using components like steel frame, sheet
metal, hopper tray, metal bars, power screw, Ac motor, different wheels
nuts and bolts. Chain and sprocket . All these will be well assembled and
will be controlled through microcontroller.

Design parameters
After the selection of materials design parameters were calculated for each
component so that no failure occurs in the machine. All the important
parameters that are calculated are given in the table.
Component Parameter Value
Hopper tray load 245.25 N
Rope material Steel wire
Rope required Dia 2.44 mm
3-phase motor power 0.5 HP
Column material Mild steel
Column Safe load 132.84 kN
Front sprocket teeth 46
Rear sprocket teeth 16
Gear box Speed reduction 40 : 1
Chain chain number 08B
Front sprocket Pitch circle dia 65.018 mm
Rear sprocket Pitch circle dia 182 mm
Sprockets Centre distance 377 mm
Chain Chain length 1143.52 mm
Cad Design
After the design parameters were calculated than a cad model was
designed using solidworks software by applying these parameters.
