ABSTRACT
Washing vessels is a daily process across the world that involves a lot of human effort to accomplish
it completely. In our project, dish washer has made easier and efficient to work. It removes oil and
other stuffs accurately compared to manual cleaning process. It cleans by spraying hot water (40°C to
50°C) using the heater. The process is carried in four stages. Initially, normal water is sprayed on the
plates using spray arms located on both sides of the cleaning area. Then chemical action of soap oil
is applied. Next the thermal action of water is used to clean it completely. Finally normal water is
again sprayed to cool the hot plates. The water is again recirculated using the motor pump even
when the external water supply is stopped. The used water in the sump is drained using the drain
pipe. All the operations are controlled using PLC program. The panel board is fixed in front
consisting of ON and OFF push buttons for alarm.
The time of washing plates can be adjusted as per customer
requirements. Additionally, alarm setup is installed to
indicate the completion of washing cycle. Large amount of
plates is washed in lesser time. This machine can be utilized
in Schools and Colleges as well as Industrial purposes.
• Dishwasher is a mechanical device for cleaning plates and
utensils. Unlike manual dishwashing, which relies largely
on physical scrubbing, the dishwasher cleans by spraying
hot water at the plates to remove the dirt and at lower
INTRODUCT temperatures for delicate items. A mix of water and soap
oil is pumped to both rotating spray arms, which blast
ION the water on the plates with the cleaning mixture. Then
the hot water flows on the plates to complete the
cleaning process. Once the wash cycle is finished,
the water is drained by the drain tube. After the cycle
finishes and the water is drained, the plates are dried
using one of many drying methods.
• Industrial dishwashers are available for use in commercial purpose such as hotels,
schools, colleges and restaurants, where a large number of plates are cleaned. Customers
operate dishwashers by placing plates the dishwasher racks, adding soap oil, turning on the
device, then removing the clean plates once the washing cycle is over.
• PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER (PLC):-
• A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a microprocessor controller that uses a programmable
memory for storing the instructions and to implement its functions such as logic, sequencing,
timing, counting and arithmetic in order to control machines and its functions. The main
components of a PLC are as follows:-
v Central Processing Unit
v The Input/Output Unit
v Programming Unit and Memory Unit
• The type of dishwasher we are using for our building is the Counter – Top dishwasher
model.
• This is because ,we like to keep the dishwasher as compact as possible and also
reduce the cost of manufacturing.
• But also , not all the people at any place may it be any household may not have all
the ample amount of space available for keeping their dishwasher so, we decided
to go for the Counter – Top model.
• There is also another model ,the "PORTABLE " type but it is not feasible because who
likes to move their dishwasher here and there and also they may be heavier also
when loaded , so for that purpose solely we chose the "COUNTER TOP" model.
Comparison between Human and
Dishwasher
HUMAN DISHWASHER
• Humans generally take 10 minutes to • Dishwasher can clean 20 dishes in just
clean 20 dishes. 2 minutes.
• Here , less amount of water is only used.
• Here, more water is used and wasted.
• The machine is consistent and
• Humans can get tired and make the
doesn't get tired so there is no lag in the
work slow also if the amount of
work.
dishes to be cleaned are high.

PLAN OF ACTION
• Develop a proper required PLC ladder logic which fulfills
all the required needs of the dishwashing.
• Simulation of the project.
• Design and specifications of the dishwasher and parts.
• Building a proper functional working Dishwasher.
