According to the survey it is found that 50% of sewer workers die before age of 50.{1} The manhole cleaning machine is efficient in cleaning the manhole as it requires less time for cleaning manhole. The working principle of manhole cleaning machine is Archimedes screw under the cylinder the screw rotate along its axis in the cylinder as the solid particles present in the manhole goes upward and then collected into chamber .By fabricating this machine we are going to solve the major Problem of manual scavenging faced by sewer worker.
