THE CONSTRUCTION OF SIEVE ANALYSIS EQUIPMENT

ABSTRACT

The sets of seizes with shaker 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 substances by allowed it pass through the pores or a partures of the size plates.
    The process of operation involved the following: Marketing out of the sieve plate using dimension of 135mm and the shakers basing with dimension 2.4 mm on the corrugation iron sheet using a scriber and a steel rule, punching of the marked act 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 drilling machine, welding of the sieve plate and the handles using oxyacetylure flame, filling of the holes on the welded edges with body filler, smoothing of the sieve plate using sand paper and lastly the painting and sun drying of the sieve plate using on oil plant.The shaker base with the dimension 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.
    At the end, all the parts were assembled and a sieve equipment of commendable efficiency was fabricated wit the specific dimensions mentioned above and a regulator.
