Abstract: In India the use of water tanks by the general population is 71%, water is used for all the daily chores. Water tanks are used in houses, industries and some other buildings. Cylindrical water tank is commonly used in house hold applications. Cleaning the water tank is one of the major issues faced by people, which leads to accumulation of impurities which may consist many harmful particles. Present methods of water tank cleaning are time consuming and require more effort for cleaning. It is necessary to build an automatic or user-friendly water tank cleaning machine. In this regard it is decided to design and fabricate cylindrical water tank cleaning machine. This is achieved by doing the project planning, designing the CAD Model, material collection and fabrication of the machine. The fabricated machine is then tested to check the performance. Finally, it is noticed that the fabricated water tank cleaning machine is an efficient and safer machine. Also it is less time consuming and less human effort needed.
