An air filters is a generally made up of fibrous material, Abstract - For any engine there is necessary to prevent pleated accordion-style. An air filter can also be made the impurities from air so that engine should run smoothly. so for that we are using air filter. The Air filters is used for of cotton or fabric like materials which is then oiled in heavy construction equipment such as diesel engine or diesel order to increase air flow to the filters. cycle. For those which are used in little polluted area like in mines, industries air filter is important criteria. The air filter should be inspected, clean, and/or replaced every 15000 miles. These filters are specially constructed to allow a higher volume of air yet still filter out any debris. This is the reason a diesel air filter is much more expensive. As per our survey the air filter is clean by manually and it will take too much time to clean it or sometimes due to laziness of worker they do not clean properly. Sometimes because of manually cleaning it may be damage.
The air filter cleaner is a de-clogging device. It is composed of two main components i.e. pressure vessel (storing air pressure/ air compressor) and triggering mechanism (high speed release of compressed air). It is a machine which clean the air filter automatically by using c-programming and electronic circuit. The present project is directed to an air filter cleaner which may be used on a job site to clean the air filter of construction equipment and vehicle during normally scheduled downtime. In the past, this air filter element where either cleaned by the process of spraying the compressed air from the hoses. This process was very time consuming and costly in terms of amount paid by the contractor to a mechanic for other person to have a filter clean. This manual cleaning of filter also often resulted in a pin holes or other damage to the pleated material of the filter. If the pleated material of the filter where damage, the filter would be useless and time invested in the cleaning of air filter would be a complete loss. Therefore, in the view of this hazards and the high cost of labor. The present invention eliminates the problem previously encountered. The present invention used the daily cleaning of air filters on heavy construction equipment during normally scheduled downtime.
So we fabricated a such type of machine which prevents more time consumption and less human efforts to clean the air filter. The present air filter is works on the principle of pneumatic system. Nowadays, so many industries are interested to work on the base of automation that’s why concerned with this concept of automation we fabricated air filter cleaner whose nominated as “Fabrication of Automatic Air Filter Cleaning System”.

1.INTRODUCTION An air filter cleaner is a device which removes solid particulates such as dust, pollen, mold and bacteria which is collected from the air. Air filters are used in application where air qualities are important, notably in building ventilation system and in engines such as internal combustion engines, gas compressor gas turbine and other. An air filter is an important part of intake system of an automobile because it is through the air filter that the engine “Breaths”. An engine needs an exact mixture of fuel and air in order to run, an all of the air enters the system first through the air filter. The air filter purpose is to filter out the dust and other foreign particles in the air, preventing them from © 2017, IRJET
