CONSTRUCTION OF SOAP CUTTING TABLE, SOAP MOULD AND SOAP CUTTERS
ABSTRACT
The construction of soap cutting table, mould and cutters became inevitable as it’s importance in our industries and society could not be over emphasized.
When one considers the money at hand, he decides whether to start from the primary production level or secondary production level.
Every establishment starts from the small scale production level. Referring to this project the main aim is for the establishment of small scale soap production machinery and avoid some problems that might arise during the cutting and production level.
Since it is difficult for a poor man to adopt the mechanized method of soap production, the simple soap production machinery was constructed to enable him achieve his aim. In the construction of these project one soap cutting table were made, four moulds of the same dimensions and two pairs of three kinds of cutters.
In the construction work, hard wood were wt and assembled according to the given dimensions for the construction of the soap cutting table and moulds, frames were constructed according to the given dimensions for the cutter’s and wire guaza were would ramd them according toe h given space for three types of cutter’s.
The hard texture of the wood caused the bending of tools and materials used in the construction process so great skill were applied to minimize damage and great attention were given to the construction procedures.
Finally, after the construction process the soap cutting table was produced to have balance in the four legs, the mould was produced to have handles for easil handling and the three types of cutter has the capacity of cutting cast soap into different size:
i. Bar: 390mm x 45mm x 32mm
ii. Tablet: 90mm x 50mm x 26mm
The sizes also allows firm grip.
