Improved Design And Performance Evaluation Of Soap Stamping And Tableting Machine For Small Scale Manufacturers For Sustainable Development
ABSTRACT
This
study describes the designed and development of an integrated soap tableting,
stamping and shaping machine. The machine comprised of conveyor belt, tableting
edge, compression dies and ejection units in a single system. The performance
test carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the system indicated the
efficiency of the machine to be 98.18% for tableting and 97.62 for stamping and
shaping operations respectively. Also, the capacity of the machine was
determined to be 924 tablets per hour at an efficiency of 96.10% at a conveyor
speed of 380 rpm. The machine significantly reduced drudgery, improved product
appearance, shapes the soap tablet and eradicated the imprecision associated
with the previous machines. The machine shapes the soap tablet with a formation
stress of 54371Pa as against the yield strength of soap which is between 110-350Pa.All
materials used in the fabrication of the machine were sourced locally and the
cost for producing this machine is seventy five thousand naira (N75000)
