2 .Overall Internship Experience


2.1 Work task we have been executed
During our internship period in the first three weak the company major task has been excited
machine installation and arranged the shop .during that time we perform machine installation that
consists new input machine and old machine that shift and arrange properly.

2.2 Machine installation


The installation and commissioning of machine tools such as the Lathe machine is very vital.
Proper installation ensures appropriate functioning of equipment which minimizes chances of
machine failure. Activities involved in machine installation and commissioning were first
identified and critical path method was applied to predict the due date for installation and
commissioning of the machine tools. Before to install the machine we give great emphasis for
preparation of foundation.

2.2.1Preparation of foundation
Machine foundations require a special consideration because they transmit dynamic loads to soil
in addition to static loads due to weight of foundation, machine and accessories. The dynamic load
due to operation of the machine is generally small compared to the static weight of machine and
the supporting foundation. In a machine foundation the dynamic load is applied repetitively over
a very long period of time but its magnitude is small and therefore the soil behavior is essentially
elastic, or else deformation will increase with each cycle of loading and may become
unacceptable. The amplitude of vibration of a machine at its operating frequency is the most
important parameter to be determined in designing a machine foundation, in addition to the natural
frequency of a machine foundation soil system.
The following information is required and must be obtained for design of a machine foundation:
 Static weight of the machine and accessories.
 Magnitude and characteristics of dynamic loads imposed by the machine operation
and their point of application
 The soil profile of the site and dynamic soil properties such as dynamic shear
modulus and damping
 Trial dimensions of the foundation. These are generally supplied by the
manufacturer. This will give the total static weight.
 An acceptable method of analysis i.e., a mathematical model to determine the
response of the foundation-soil system
 A criteria for adequate design.

In the company the installation room foundation has been prepared in the last two year this is
difficult to insert the anchor bolt. But for the large machine they form foundation to prevent the
vibration of the machine, this foundation is prepared according to the machine specification.

Figure 2.1: Foundation of machine installation .


To perform the machine straighten and to indicate the place where the anchor bolt has been
inserted, they attach the timber with the machine specification and anchor bolt.

Figure 2.2: Locate the place of foundation bolt.

2.2.2 Installation Procedure:


𝑖) Pre- installation Activities
𝑖𝑖) Arrival of the machine tools into the central workshop
𝑖𝑖𝑖) Removal of the machines from the pallet
𝑖𝑣) Exercises involving check, and inspection of the machine tools boxes
𝑖𝑖𝑣) Use of transport equipment in moving machine tools to correct position
𝑣) Assembly of all subparts

AMARA METAL INDUSTRY AND MACHINE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT ENTERPRISE 7


FINAL INTERNSHIP REPORT 2017. BAHIR DAR INSTITUTION TECHNOLOGY /BIT/

𝑣𝑖𝑖) Testing all installation works


𝑣𝑖𝑖𝑖 Proper check, inspection and testing activities
𝑖𝑥) Completion of the relevant paper work.

2.3 Major challenges and problems that we faced during installation


There are different problems that have been faced during machine installation, those are:
 There have no technological machine or lifts to move equipment’s and
machines to arrange in its position
 To insert the anchor bolt has been difficult due to that the foundation of the
room was prepared for the last two years
 There is lack of coordinator in the installation team, this leads to change the
idea and take more time to decide where this machine has been sets
 Preparation of place that attach the anchor bolt has been less strong than new
foundation.

2.4 Proposed solution


 To move and position the machine , we support each other and push
accordingly its installation position
 They drill the installation room with strong sharp tools accordingly to the
machine specification and insert the anchor bolt and weld properly
 Prepare new foundation for heavy and large machine to prevent vibration.

2.5 Overall benefits I gain from internship


In this four months internship experience, we have got much skills, knowledge and higher
confidence about many things. Generally we have got such benefits in terms of:
 Improving Practical skills

2.5.1 Improving Practical skills


During my internship time I have been trying just to know new things in order to get new practical
knowledge.in machine installation, I gain that how machine is install and different installation
requirement to prevent the machine from any failure.

I have been familiar for solid work soft were and design and modeling of different machine part
using solid work. This is the base to design any machine and prepare flow chart for manufacture
process.

In addition to this I know that how one machine can be design using solid work and prepare
drafting of the component using solid work soft were.

2.5.2 Upgrading theoretical knowledge


In internship program we have get the opportunity to apply my theoretical knowledge in real world
environments. Frankly speaking, my theoretical knowledge got strengthen more by those practical
techniques invested on this internship.

This internship period was a good filed to read about real world problems how to solve it in
engineering departments. Therefore, I gained the following essential things:

 Creative and logical approach to solving problems


 Clearly understand different machine devices working principle and
mechanism
 I can understand and practice how machine are design and manufacture
 I was able to apply my basic knowledge to design and modeling of screw type
lift table truck without hydraulic pump.

2.5.3 Improving team playing skills


Team work, especially for engineers is important and involves in every piece of task. Thus, gaining
good team playing skill has been essential for effective completion of the given task. As team
member someone contribute a lot in many way to improve individual communicative knowledge
of solving the existing problem. Because of these team members we can improve the following
attributes:

and weakness of each leader. We have gained the following benefits which improved our
leadership skills:
 Committed to the work
 Understanding others idea
 Peaceful with others
 Upgrading with knowledge etc.

2.5.5 Understanding about work ethics related issues


Ethics is a branch of philosophy that defines morality and determines the meaning and rational
justification of the right way to live, correct values as well as correct ways of treating others. As
workers wear made to specialize in different fields, specific codes of conduct were expected from
each worker. Ethical work conduct enables me to posses’ appropriate behaviors in my work and
so as to develop proper relationships with co-workers and it helps me to create good relationships.

By working in this company we also gain understanding about industrial psychology which is a
very important tool for the success of the company:
 Punctuality

3. Conclusion and Recommendation

3.1 Conclusion
This internship report contains the overall experiences that I gain from the internship program. I
concluded that the program is very good to know the real world life and work way comparing with
class study subjects.

I can say that this internship was successful by acquiring sufficient knowledge and practical skills.
Here during this period (as an intern) the hosting company satisfied with the activities of my
performance spatially theoretical understanding in every moment.

On the internship period, I have understand so many skills that was the job environment and what
it meant to be a worker, what and why ethics we need to have at the work place and outside. It was
also very effective in developing team playing, interpersonal and leadership skills.

Generally, I get satisfactory knowledge and more benefited at internship period. This internship
program is real, necessary and important to computer engineering students.

3.2 Recommendation
3.2.1 Recommendation for Amara metal industry and machine technology
development enterprise
Amhara metal industry and machine technology development enterprise is a well establish and
develop different machines and parking .However, I would like to recommend it based on my
observation while I was conducting the internship program. Thus recommendations are as follow:

 The company should be ready for internship students by preparing project tasks and
motivations to achieve this internship program.
 There is no research and development department, this cause the workers to have
less sense to upgrade their knowledge and improve this company
 The company worker are consider that internship student are not perform any task
and they are not known in the company

AMARA METAL INDUSTRY AND MACHINE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT ENTERPRISE 13


FINAL INTERNSHIP REPORT 2017. BAHIR DAR INSTITUTION TECHNOLOGY /BIT/

 The company must be manage and arrange the time to do different task in rotation,
rather than perform single task during internship period.

3.2.2 Recommendation for Bahir dar University


This internship program offers a lot of advantages to the students, as mentioned above, for instance,
it helped me to develop not only practical experience but also theoretical knowledge related to my
academic, my social skills and career goals. Because of this and all the listed advantages above I
would like to recommend our university to keep giving this great chance for the students.

The University can also share useful idea and experiences from other Universities like Adama
University send its students to Europe and other countries outside Ethiopia to build bridge between
the developed countries.

3.2.3Recommendation for faculty


The faculty of mechanical and industrial engineering make opportunity and communications with any
company to arrange the student to well know company. The faculty must arrange before internship
period ,to visit some company to reduce any confusion during learning time .specially for mechanical
department student before taking design course they must be vist some company that are important
to perform their design very well.

3.2.4 Recommendation for university industrial linkage


The University Industrial Linkage office should send request or announce to the companies
earlier to the internship period so that the company will have reserve place to the intern to host
him/her. But as we remember it was challenged and difficult to inter in to our interest due to the
retardation of UIL.

In addition to this the University Industrial Linkage should create awareness for private and
governmental organizations how this internship program is very useful to our country and other
concerned people using possible means of communications including advertising in media.

Generally, the benefit of this internship program for producing efficient engineers is
unquestionable if properly held.

4. Project Work
4.1 Design modelling of screw type lift table truck without hydraulic pump
4.1.1 Introduction
4.1.1.1 Background information
Since traditional jack that available in market involve plenty of variety like screw lift. We had
selected the traditional scissor lift for improving and focuses our intention to remove perm ant
welds as that is the area where chances of failure is more. We replaced weld joints by rivets as
well reduced materials by redesigning special brackets and employing special manufacturing
processes for traditional we need to find the cost effective solution for long term benefits. So in
the production system it is necessary to redesign the various products for reducing the cost of the
product over the same product. So we have chosen such exercise with the scissor lift. Screw type
scissor lift is a mechanical device used for various applications for lifting of the loads to a height
or level. A lift table is defined as a scissor lift used to stack, raise or lower, convey and/or transfer
material between two or more elevations. The main objective of the devices used for lifting
purposes is to make the table adjustable to a desired height. A scissor lift provides most economic
dependable & versatile methods of lifting loads. This lift table raises load smoothly to any desired
height. The Lift tables may incorporate rotating platforms (manual or powered); tilt platforms, etc.
as a part of the design. Scissor lift design is used because of its ergonomics as compared to other
heavy lifting devices available in the market. The frame is very sturdy & strong enough with
increase in structural integrity. A multiple height scissor lift is made up of two or more leg set
.Scissor lifts are generally used for temporary, exile access purposes such as maintenance and
construction work or by righters for emergency access, which distinguishes them from permanent
access equipment such as elevators. They are designed to lift limited weights.

The lower four links connect with the lower plate and the screw are set with between the two links
and join with set screw. The upper link also connect with the upper plate table with the hinge and
supported by the guiding link. The screw is rotated machine part used to convert rotational motion
to translation .motion. In most of the power screws, the nut has axial motion against the resisting
axial force while the screw rotates in its bearings.
When the screw rotate manually by handle wheel the table is translated vertically up and down
through a scissor type link along the length of the screw from contraction up to full expansion.

4.1.2 Literature review


[1] “Design, Manufacturing & Analysis of Hydraulic Scissor Lift”, GaffarG Momin, et al
 This Paper describes the design as well as analysis of a hydraulic scissor lift.
Conventionally a scissor lift or jack is used for lifting a vehicle to change a tire, to gain
access to go to the underside of the vehicle, to lift the body to appreciable height, and
many other applications .also such lifts can be used for various purposes like
maintenance and many material handling operations. It can be of mechanical,
pneumatic or hydraulic type. The design described in the paper is developed keeping
in mind that the lift can be operated by mechanical means by using pantograph so that
the overall cost of the scissor lift is reduced. In our case our lift was needed to be
designed a portable and also work without consuming any electric power so we
decided to use a hydraulic hand pump to power the cylinder Also such design can
make the lift more compact and much suitable for medium scale work. Finally the
analysis of the scissor lift was done in anysis and all responsible parameters were
analyzed in order to check the compatibility of the design values.

heavy weight components. Material selection plays a key role in designing machine
and also influence on several factor such as durability, reliability, strength, resistance
which finally leads to increase the life of scissor lift. The design is performed by
considering hydraulic scissor lift as a portable, compact and much suitable for medium
type of load application. Drafting & drawing of hydraulic system scissor lift is done
using solid works with suitable modeling and imported to anysis work bench for
meshing and analysis. Hence, the analysis of the scissor lift includes Total deformation
load, Equivalent stress, was done in anysis and all responsible parameters were
analyzed in order to check the compatibility of the design value. The computational
values of two different materials such as aluminum and mild steel are compared for
best results.

4.1.5.1Design of power screw
i) Design consideration
The power screws (also known as translation screws) are used to convert rotary motion into
translator motion.
A) Type of screw tread:
 A square thread, is selected due to it adapted for the transmission of power in either
direction. This thread results in maximum efficiency and minimum radial or bursting
pressure on the nut.
B) Selection of coefficient of friction:
For Poor workmanship or very slow and in frequent motion with indifferent lubrication or newly
machined surface.
 For starting :μ = tan φ = 0.21
 For running: μ = tan φ = 0.15
ii)Design data
Table 4.1.2 design data

iii) Parameter analysis: A little consideration will show that the maximum load on the square
threaded screw occurs when the jack is in the bottom position. For screw material:
𝜎𝑦𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑑 = 420 M Pa,Ʈ𝑦𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑑 =150 M Pa, E = 200 G Pa.
To determine the factor of safety we considered the following table under different condition

4.1.5.4 Design of link


Due to the load, the links may buckle in two planes at right angles to each other. For buckling in
the vertical plane (i.e. in the plane of the links), the links are considered as hinged at both ends and
for buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane, it is considered as fixed at both ends.
We know that load on the link:

Assuming a factor of safety = 5, the links must be designed for a buckling load of
𝑊𝑐𝑟 = 1111.1 × 5 = 5555.5𝑁
Let t1 = Thickness of the link, and
b1 = Width of the link.
Assuming that the width of the link is three times the thickness of the link, i.e. b1 = 3 t1, therefore
cross-sectional area of the link,
A = t1 × 3t1 = 3(t1)²
And moment of inertia of the cross-section of the link,

For buckling in a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane.
We may take t1 = 6 mm; and b1 = 18 mm

4.1.8 Conclusion and Recommendation


4.1.8.1Conclusion
I conclude that lift table are a device necessary to lift and move objects from specified place. Screw type
lift table truck without hydraulic pump that allow materials and work pieces to be raised and lowered
accessible heights for specific tasks or purposes. Despite its exclusive function lift models vary by
size, capacity, elevation, and actuation. Lift tables are often manufactured with wheels allowing
operators to convey items at their discretion, and wheels are typically pressurized inner tube or
urethane caster in design. Wheeled tables typically feature a handle for safe grasping as well as a
floor lock to temporarily immobilize the table.

4.1.8.2 Recommendation
We recommended that screw type lift table truck is better to design as hydraulic pump lift table
track this is due to that hydraulic pump lift is durable than screw lift table truck. We also modified
that we use only four links to get the required height so we reduce material used as we consider in
cost.

4.2 design and manufacture fish feed pelletizer machine


4.2.1. Introduction
4.2 1.1 back ground
In the recent past, fish and poultry and animals are always feed in a primitive way. This involves
grinding of grains and cereals as meals on stones and mortar. However, the animals need nutrients
and vitamins in addition to aid their growth and development in order to meet the market
requirement.
Due to technological advancement grinding machines were developed for grinding of cereals and
grain with the mixture of other nutrients into powder form. With time, it was discovered that the
animals preferred feeding on solid and soft nutritious meal. One of the devices that can produce
this requirement is called a pelletizing machines are built to perform the following functions,
mound animal feed meals in form of soft capsules, which can easily be consumed by fish and
poultry animals; to form saw dust and grass (fuel) pellet used in a pellet stove as fuel; pelletizing
machine.
For many years, pelleting was considered an art, a process involving imprecise measurement,
Uncertain results, and that undefinable quality of feel. This so-called “art” of pelleting came
About in an environment lacking the understanding of the effects occurring when the differing
Characteristics of feed ingredients are subjected to the pelleting processes of heat, moisture, and
Pressure. No excuse, however, exists today for the uninformed pellet mill operator. The science of
grain processing has now reached a point that, by knowing the characteristics of
The feed (moisture, content, fiber, etc.) and using machinery with accurate measurements, the
Guesswork has been removed from pelleting. As a result, much more is required of the pellet
Mill operator in the way of knowledge and ability. The skill of the pellet mill operator, through
His ability or mistakes, influences plant profitability. Pellet mill operators have a vitally important
role in the manufacture of animal feed. They should recognize this responsibility and the great
contribution they make to an efficient feed Plant.
4.2.1.2 Problem identification
In Amara metal industry and machine technology development Enterprise was recently organized
to meet the gap of technology requirement among the manufacturing technology. Currently the
enterprise produce different type of machine to solve and minimize society problem. Among such
machine the one that produce in the enterprise was fish feed pelletizer machine. When we observe
its working principle, I understand that some limitation and I want to solve such problem.in which
pellet screener that would separate pellets from fines that comes out of the die Plate and a separate

AMARA METAL INDUSTRY AND MACHINE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT ENTERPRISE 33


FINAL INTERNSHIP REPORT 2017. BAHIR DAR INSTITUTION TECHNOLOGY /BIT/

discharge chute for these fines to allow them to be pelletized Again and rollers should be installed
on three direction of the frame to allow easy transfer ever time the machine used and to cover all
hole of the die that produce pellet mill in each hole. When we engage its cost of production, the
connection of motor with screw are replace with Chine drive and move the machine in specified
and required place, design with wheel and make it movable or truck type machine.

4.2.1.3 Proposed solution


For the selected problem we want to set some specified solution that we understand and analyze:
 At the end of the process we want to install pellet screener that would separate pellet
from fine that comes out of the die Plate and a separate discharge chute for these fines
to allow them to be pelletized again. This is improve productivity and minimize
wastage of formulated feed
 We want to design roller to overcome maximum production for short time. This is
performed by change the roller into three instead of using two roller, this can be
compress the feed it into all holes of the die to form pellets.
 Connect the motor with the die shaft by v-belt and v-pulley. This is reduce its cost of
production
 Design the wheel and make it movable or truck type to move easily to cultivated area.

4.2.1.4 Application of the machine


Fish feed pelletizer machine has some advantage those are:
 Fish food that produce in this machine can be float in water at least for 24 hours without
dissolve in the water ,so the fish can feed all pellet in this duration of time
 Prevent and reduce loss of nutrition of the formulated food
 The preparation food can be retain advance protein ratio

rolling instead of sliding as in sliding contact bearings. We have already discussed that the ordinary
sliding bearing starts from rest with practically metal-to-metal contact and has a high coefficient
of friction. It is an outstanding advantage of a rolling contact bearing over a sliding bearing that it
has a low starting friction.

4.2. 1.6 Material selection


The general consideration for the selection of materials to produce an adaptable machine in
Which the hopper allows materials pass through effectively with minimum wastage was made.
The pelleting chamber was made of metal to increase durability; the hopper being sloppy was to
Allow pellets slide downward and discharge by gravity. Generally, several factors were taken into
Consideration before the choice of materials due to variations in condition of service and
Specifications of materials available such as:
 Type of machine to be designed
 Size of design

 Frame of the machine

4.2.1.7 Working principle


The conditioned fish feed was introduced into the hopper and this flows down into the pelleting
chamber by gravity flow. The electric motor or handle drives the die by a shaft connected to its
pulley. The rotation of the die initiates the rotation of the rollers which pick up the feed material
and compress it into the die holes to form pellets. The emerging pellets are cut by a pellet cutting

knife and discharged through the pelleting chamber to the discharge tray by a tangential force of
the rotating die. The pellets are collected into a bowl and sun-dried for 2 hours before storage.

4.2.5.2 Design of v-belt and pulley


First of all, let us find the diameter of pulley on the motor shaft (d1). We know that
𝑁1 𝑑2 𝑑2×𝑁2
(𝑁2) = (𝑑1) 𝑑1 = 𝑁1
400𝑚𝑚×600𝑟𝑝𝑚
𝑑1 = = 133.4𝑚𝑚 say 134mm
1800𝑟𝑝𝑚

Consider the following configuration

Figure 4.2.15: Configuration of pulley

For an open belt drive, as shown in Fig.

𝑠𝑖𝑛ᾳ = = = = = 0.266

ᾳ = 15.42ͦ
And angle of lap on the smaller pulley (i.e. pulley on the
Ѳ = 180 − 2ᾳ = 149.1ᵒ
Let T1 = Tension in the tight side of the belt, and
T2 = Tension in the slack side of the belt.
Assume the groove angle of the pulley, 2 β = 35° or β = 17.5°. We know that

The coefficient of friction between


The belt and the pulley may be taken as 0.28.

We know that the velocity of the belt
𝜋𝑑1𝑁1 3.14 × 134 × 1800
𝑣= = = 12.628m/s
60 60
And mass of the belt per meter length,
m = Area × length × density = 350 × 10−6 × 1 × 1100 = 0.33 kg / m
∴ Centrifugal tension in the belt,
TC = mv² = 0.33 (12.66)²= 52.58 N
And maximum tension in the belt,
T = Stress × area = σ × a = 2 × 300 = 1050 N
∴ Tension in the tight side of the belt
𝑇1 = 𝑇 − 𝑇𝑐 = 1050 − 52.58 = 9970.42𝑁
𝑇1
𝑇2 = = 88.42𝑁

We know that the power transmitted per belt:
= (T1 – T2) v = (997.42 – 88.42) 12.66 = 11470 W = 11.47 kW
Number of belts that we required are 2, therefore total power that we want are:
P=2×11.47=22.94Kw
Since the V-belt is to be designed for 22.94 kW, therefore from Table we find that a ‘C’ type of
belt should be used.
Table 4.2.1 description of power and diameter of C type belt

We know that the pitch length of the belt,

Subtracting 56 mm for ‘C’ type belt, we find that inside length of the belt
1873.758-56 = 1817.758 mm
According to IS: 2494 – 1974, the nearest standard inside length of V-belt is 1834 m
Table 4.2.2 standard pitch length of v-belt

The pitch lengths are obtained by,


Adding to inside length: 36 mm for type A, 43 mm for type B, 56 mm for type C, 79 mm for type
D and 92 mm for type E. The following table shows the standard pitch lengths for the various types
of belt:

We know that torque transmitted by the shaft,
In case of belt drives, the twisting moment (T) is given by:
T = (T1 – T2) R
Where T1 and T2 = Tensions in the tight side and slack side of the belt respectively, and
R = Radius of the pulley.
Know
T = (T1 – T2) R= (997.42-88.42)×0.2=181.8Nm=181.8×10³Nmm

 Since the maximum stresses are within safe limits, therefore the design of square
threaded screw is satisfactory.
4.2.5.4 Design of feed hopper
In designing the hopper it is recommended that the angle of inclination of the hopper walls be
10deg higher than the natural angle of repose of stored material. This is to avoid tunneling and
arching during the discharge of the product. The hopper shape is that of a frustum of a pyramid.
The angle of repose obtained experimentally for the preconditioned cassava was 52deg.Therefore,
an angle of inclination of 62deg was used in designing the hopper.
The volume of the hopper was determined by:

𝑉 = ( ) [(𝐴1 + 𝐴2) + √𝐴1 + 𝐴2]
3
Where; V = Volume of hopper (m3),
A1 = Area of top (m2),
A2 = Area of base (m2),
h = Height of the hopper (m)
To increase the capacity and pellet quality we want to that assume the appropriate diameter of the
hopper and the feed hopper should be modified to minimize the spillage of mixed feeds due to the
force created by the rotating pellet rolls ,then Feed hopper has
Outer diameter (d2) =240mm
Inner diameter (d1) =165mm

𝑉 = 0.83𝑚𝑚³.

4.2.5.5 Design of die


Die plate is the part that converted the formulated feeds into cylindrical-shaped solid materials or
into pellets. The diameter can be determine from the speed of die shaft that transmitted by the
pulley from the electric motor. Know we can determine the diameter of the die
We know that the torque transmitted by the die shaft:

𝑇=( ) × 𝜏 × 𝑑3 , 𝑑3 =
16 𝜋×𝜏

3 181.8 × 16
𝑑 = √[ ] = 151.2𝑚𝑚 𝑠𝑎𝑦 152𝑚𝑚
3.14 × 42

The diameter of the die is taken to be 150mm to allow for free rotation in the chamber of 165mm
diameter. The die holes are of diameters of 6mm and the arrangement considered to be a pressure
vessel. The thickness of the die was calculated using
𝑝
𝑡 = 𝑘 × 𝑑√
𝜎𝑡
Where,
t = thickness of the die (mm)
k = coefficient of friction which depends on the material (mild steel)
d = diameter of the die, mm
P = compressive pressure of feed through the die holes. It is assumed that the maximum possible
pressure developed by the rotating rollers will not exceed 2MP:
𝜎𝑡= allowable design stress,𝑀𝑝𝑎
𝑝 2
𝑡 = 𝑘 × 𝑑√𝜎𝑡 = 0.21 × 150√(92.5) =9.82mm say 10mm

FINAL INTERNSHIP REPORT 2017. BAHIR DAR INSTITUTION TECHNOLOGY /BIT/

4.2.5.6 Design of roller


Pellet roll. This part was responsible in compressing the formulated feeds before it was extruded
in the die plate. Rolled steel shafting to allow them to freely rotate once the die plate rotated also.
The pellet rolls were also fixed flange bearing on both sides to minimize slippage during operation.
The diameter of the roller was determine by considering the die diameter, therefore:
𝑑𝑟=40mm and length of L=30mm
The shear stress on the roller well be
𝑇 × 16 181.8 × 103 × 16
𝜏= =
𝜋𝑑𝑟 3 3.14 × 403
𝜏 = 14.47𝑀𝑝𝑎
The shear stress induced by the roller is under the limit therefore the design is safe.

4.2.5.7 Design of chamber


The pelletizing chamber housing the die and rollers is a hollow cylinder originating below the
hopper and terminating below the flat die.
This is where mixing and extruding of feeds were performed prior to being pushed through by the
pellet rolls into the holes of the die plate. This part was made from mild steel (MS) plate with
dimensions of 165mm diameter and 130 mm high in order to withstand the rigorous force created
by the rotating die plate and pellet rolls. Therefore:
Diameter of chamber (d) =165mm and height (h) =130mm

4.2.7. Conclusion and recommendation


4.2.7.1 Conclusion
I conclude that to Design motor pulley-driven pelleting machine, can produce fish pellet as
required diameter and length. it can be concluded that the machine developed was able to convert
mashed feeds into pellets having 6 mm diameter, an average length of 10 mm .It operated using a
roll-type extrusion press forcing the formulated feeds out of the die plate through the three pellet
rolls. The fish feed pelletizer machine can produce more pellet efficiently than to the previously
and cost effective machine.

4.2.7.2 Recommendation
The following are recommended to further improve the design and operation of the pellet mill:
 The feed hopper should be modified to minimize the spillage of mixed feeds due to the
force created by the rotating pellet rolls.
 A stopper or vertical lid should be provided on the opening of the discharge chute to
better manage the pellets that comes out of it.
 A cover on the electric motor should be provided to minimize spillage of feeds that
might clog the rotor part of the machine causing interference on its operation.
