Complete Reverse Vending Machine 3D Design
Budget: ₹75,000 – ₹150,000 INR
I’m ready to move from concept to production on a full-featured Reverse Vending Machine dedicated to P.E.T. bottle recycling and I need a mechanical / mechatronics designer who can own the entire 3D design package.
The bottle insertion module is the heart of the project, so I want that area engineered first and in the most detail. It must include an automated detection system that reliably identifies each bottle as it enters. If you already have clever ideas for anti-jamming hardware or a more intuitive user interface we can discuss them, but automated detection is the single non-negotiable.
Beyond the inlet, the machine will require all standard subsystems—from weighing and sorting to compacting—laid out in a manufacturable, service-friendly enclosure. I work in SolidWorks, so native files plus neutral STEP outputs are mandatory.
Deliverables
• Complete CAD of the external enclosure with service doors and an integrated electrical cabinet
• Detailed bottle insertion module featuring the automated detection system
• Load-cell based weighing system and servo-driven diverter to feed 3–4 segregation bins
• Compact, maintainable bottle compactor / shredder assembly
• Manufacturing drawings for every custom part (properly toleranced, ready for fabrication)
• Exploded and master assembly drawings with clear callouts
• Comprehensive BOM with material, finish, and supplier suggestions
• Packaged files: SolidWorks native (.SLDPRT, .SLDASM, .SLDDRW) plus consolidated STEP
Acceptance criteria
1. All mechanisms simulate smoothly in SolidWorks Motion without interference or over-travel.
2. Exterior envelope stays within 1200 mm W × 900 mm D × 1800 mm H.
3. Each subsystem can be removed for maintenance through dedicated access points.
4. BOM parts are either off-the-shelf or fully dimensioned for machining/laser cutting.
If you can bridge solid mechanical design with practical manufacturability, let’s discuss timelines and milestones so we can get this machine into prototype production.
