CONSTRUCTION OF METAL MOULD FOR SOAP PRODUCTION

CONSTRUCTION OF METAL MOULD FOR SOAP PRODUCTION

ABSTRACT

A mould can generally be defined as a pattern constructed for the production of the same shape of the prototype and the constructional material differs from one operation to another. When one considers the money at hand, he decides whether to start from the primary production hence or secondary production live. Every establishment starts from the small scale production level. Referring to this project, the main aim is for the establishment of small scale production and acaoid some problems that might arise during the cutting process. Since it is difficult for a poor man to adopt the mechanized method of soap production, this metal was constructed to enable him achieve his aim. In the construction of this project, a tablet soap mould was made which is capable of producing the standard sizes and shapes of soap required.    In the construction work, wild steel was accessed, cut and assembled by welding in such a way that the whole assembly contains a cell. The cell is designed to produce the standard soap according to dimensions used in the construction work. Finally, after the construction process, the soap mould was produced.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

The equipment mostly used in the industries and manufacturing set-ups requiring the production of different patterns, shape and different designs, embossments and others, are usually moulds. The ability of moulds to withstand pressure, distortion and corrosion determines the application.
