Design ofaLow Cost Concrete Mixer Machine
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
The construction and building industries are expanding on a daily basis as a results of increase in human population and continually demand for shelter. Concrete which comprises mainly of sand, cement and gravel is an important component required for construction of houses and roads. However, most operation of mixing concrete in Nigeria is done manually as a result of lack of insufficient machinery and high importation cost. In this research, I carried out the design of a low cost concrete mixing machine. The materials used in this research work are as follow; sand, gravel, water, mild steel, hopper, electric motor, shaft, bearing, V-belt, angle bar, mild steel plate, bolts and nuts, etc. In other to achieve a good design, feasibility studies, and preliminary tests were carried out. The materials selected for this design were justified. Detailed designed to determine the torque, power, force, mixing chamber, etc., were carried out. The results obtained show that a power of 2hp, mixing force of 450N, torque of 135Nm, belt tension of 692.56N, mixing volume of 0.0085m3, were required.
