The Construction Of Sieve Equipment

ABSTRACT

The sets of seizes with shocker which was fabricated and assembled in the chemical engineering pilot plant was aimed at providing the students with a machine that will aid them in practical involving the separation of solid particles. Besides this, it was also fabricated sizes or diameter of the solid particles of a substance by allowing it pass through the pores or aperture of the sieve plates.

The process of operation involved the following: marking out of the sieve plate using dimension of 135mm and the shaker basing with dimension 2.4mm on the corrugated iron sheet using a scriber and a steel rule; punching of the market out line using hammer and chisel, cutting of the punched path of the sieve using guillotine, but in the case of the sieve mesh a Shearer was used in the cutting; folding of the corrugated iron using folding machine; drilling of the four holes using drilling machine, welding of the sieve plate and the handles using oxyacetylure flame; filling of the holes on the welded edges with a c-per body  filler; smoothening of the sieve plate using sandpaper and lastly the painting and sun drying of the sieve plate using an oil paint.

The shaker base with the dimensions 2.4mm by 1.8mm was fabricated to house the motor, which comprised of a rotor, stator and coil and a capacitor of 2700 coulomb. 

In the end, all the parts were assembled and a sieve equipment of commendable and a sieve equipment of commendable efficiency was fabricated with the specified dimensions mentioned above and a regulator.
