Simple yet very effective -Cap for Sugarcane farmers –

In Sugarcane farming, it is difficult for farmers to work within sugarcane field due to sharp edges of sugarcane leaves.  Sharp leaves results in cuts on the face and potential damages eyes. This problem is severe when sugarcane crop grows up and farmers have to enter the filed for watering, spraying fertilizers. A safety cap is designed by Chetan Kadam (VA DIC student) realizing his own problem while doing farming at his native place. For information of such simple yet useful innovation please visit DIC @ vigyan ashram.

New Pyrolysis based Sanatory Pad Incinerator (Version 4)

Sanitary Napkin Incinerator  (Version 4)

A novel incineration device has been developed that uses pyrolysis to decompose sanitary napkins into hydrocarbon vapours and combustible gases along with some non-combustible gases and char. These vapours and gases are made to pass over high temperature electric coils (>500 degC) where they auto-ignite in the presence of oxygen. The heat from the flames partially drives the pyrolysis of remaining sanitary pads. A smoke stack thermocouple sensor feeds back values to a PID controller implemented through a microcontroller to maintain proper pyrolysis and combustion conditions that result in a transparent flue gas exiting from the chimney.

Features :

1. It completely incinerates 5–20 used sanitary napkins in less than 30 min.
2. A provisional patent has been filed.

• Unit is successfully lab tested for 500+ pads as lab trial. It is installed in ladies hostel for field testing.

1. Technology is transferred to M/S Climber Enviro Solutions
   LLP for commercialization of this technology.
