Abstract
Cleaning the water tank is necessary so that awareness of water health and the importance of clean water, the design of the tank cleaning mechanism is important to be realized so as to produce a good concept and bring benefits in tank cleanliness. These things underlie researchers to conduct research on designing the right mechanism for tank cleaning without worrying when doing manual cleaning, in response to the problems above, a tank cleaning system that is easy and convenient is needed so that it can clean the tank. The purpose of this research is to design an ergonomic water tank cleaning machine to improve the ability of humans to do work, so that some things around the natural environment such as equipment, physical environment, motion position need to be revised or redesigned with human capabilities and limitations. The method used in this study was a survey and engine design with a shaft drive of 4.5 cm in diameter and a length of 44 cm cleaning arm at the bottom of the tank, while a 130 cm tank cleaning wall arm was driven by a motor with Rpm 70. Parameters in the design of the tank cleaning machine including torque that is designed to weigh 20.76 kg.mm, the friction force on the bottom wall and the tank wall is designed to be 4.6 kg.mm with engine power of 382.08 watts at a voltage of 190 volts
