RONALSON A/L ARPUTHARAJAN POLITEKNIK SULTAN SALAHUDDIN ABDUL AZIZ SHAH

Hot Drops is an innovative device specifically designed to support the recycling process of used cooking oil in an efficient, safe, and user-friendly manner. The common practice of discarding used cooking oil directly into drains not only wastes valuable resources but also contributes to environmental pollution. Therefore, HotDrop is introduced as a holistic solution equipped with a systematic and efficient three-stage filtration system. The structure of HotDrop is constructed using stainless steel materials to ensure durability and safety throughout the filtration process. It is equipped with two separate storage tanks  one for collecting filtered oil that can be reused, and another for storing waste residues. Its ergonomic design allows for easy handling by users from various backgrounds, making it suitable for both household and small-scale commercial use. The filtration system operates manually through three successive stages a coarse particle filter, a fine particle filter, and a water separation filter. Each stage is engineered to effectively remove impurities according to their size. As a result, the filtered oil is noticeably cleaner, clearer, and safe for reuse. Overall, HotDrop not only promotes recycling practices among the community but also helps reduce operational costs and environmental impact. It stands as a practical innovation that offers economic, health, and environmental sustainability benefits.
