Abstract

This study's objective was to identify the current used frying oil (UFO) and to suggest an ecologically responsible method for used frying oil preservation to effectively manage waste used cooking oil. Then, a prototype of a container for collecting wasted frying oil was developed (UFO). The container was equipped with a lid, a handle, and a lid closing mechanism. The design was chosen using a conceptual design matrix and the Pugh approach. Then Initially, SOLIDWORK was used to develop the UFO Bin prototype. Several functionally diverse designs were considered. Utilizing the Pugh approach, the most effective design was chosen. As with the box, the prototype measures 34cm (length) by 27cm (width) by 20cm (height) when equipped with a handle. The container was constructed from polycarbonate (PC). The material was chosen because of its cheap price and durability. The prototype of the UFO bin is thus designed to help in the continuous and precise monitoring of the waste management system. It enables the treatment of used cooking oil waste in the future that is more environmentally friendly than the existing waste management system. Solid works Simulation held a simulation. As an evaluation of the bin's durability, von Mises stress, strain, displacement, and drop test were conducted.
