“Design Modification and Optimization of Soap Stamping - Tableting Machine:- Alicha, Esidene A
ABSTRACT
The machine comprises an automated soap stamping
and tableting module, the operational parameters evaluated were conveying
speed, stamping and tableting speed, and time of operation while the tableting
efficiency, throughput and specific energy consumption of the machine
constitutes the responses or performance parameters. Response surface analysis
was employed and the initial linear models developed augmented to quadratic
models when it was established using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and
residual plots to estimate the performance of the soap stamping and tableting
machine. The developed quadratic models was used to optimize the performance of
the soap stamping and tableting machine using the Doptimality approach to
establish the optimal factor settings of the soap stamping and tableting
machine rounding up to the nearest whole number values are 351rpm, 21rpm, and
55 minutes for the conveying speed, stamping and tableting speed and time of
operation respectively. The optimal response at these factor settings was
91.3%, 636kg/hr and 3l.lkJ/kg at an optimality rate of 73%, 99.9% and 100% for
the tableting efficiency, throughput and specific energy consumption
respectively with an overall D-optimality value of 96%.
