DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF FLOUR SIEVING MACHINE

Abstract

Sieve is a device for separating wanted elements from unwanted material or for characterizing the particle size distribution of a sample, typically using a woven screen such as a mesh or net. A lot of the sieve product that are in the market are money consuming. Skilled workers are also required to operate the product. Other than that, it is also required big space to install the product. A higher maintenance for the product is also one of the problems that a lot of the user faces. The aim of this study is to design a product that are compact and less space consuming. Price of the product also must be affordable especially for small industries. Finally, a low maintenance that can equal with less money consumption. The first part for our methodology of research is to compare the entire product that is in the market. Second, create a design that satisfies the objective. After finalizing the design, search material that is suitable for the spec of the product. Finally, create the product and run test on small industry to collect data and analysis. All the data and the analysis that are obtained are used to write a report. The finding that can be gain after the test is that the flour sieving machine is suitable for small industry to use because it satisfies their requirements without exceeding the need. There are lot of improvement that can be done on this product such as make it portable, upgrade the motor and larger capacity.
