Ok, with you by my side, I know I will make it.... Insha Allah. I've seen a picture how to mount an odnary water heater around the cone but I've already paid the electrician but all is well, it will work maybe even better than the water heater one and the speed reducer will work well becouse not all electricians know how to construct a speed reducer on electric motor in fact many of them told me it's not possible but this one make it very very well just like the once on YouTube...

Remember you want to get this done at a cheaper cost. So I suggest you still go with that water heater option.

...and I still repeat, if you don't use a gear reducer, it won't work. Forget whatever an electrician is building for you!!!


I doubt if you are actually building a plodder.

Hmmm

wambai80:
Ok! That will be good but from what you are saying, will water in the contentment vessel dropping on the soap or it's just to heat the cone? Will the containtment vessel be on top of the conveyor housing so that the cone will be insight the housing directly under the containtment vessel for it to conduct heat? I will definitely send you the pictures 2day, thanks

you need to see a plodder in real life.

She can be my soap distributor at cemetery market. I can give her huge discount with free transport to her shop depending on the quantity of cartons she orders.

I need to see real pictures of what you are doing.

I actually biuld a cone (thick) immidiatly after the shaft which the soap will pass through after being pushed by the shaft. This cone is currently with an electrician which he will biuld some sort of hearing element, the cone will act as a heater so the soap will melt after passing through by the pressure of the hopper shaft before exiting as a molded long bars then cut the long bars by hand. And as per the cooling system, Man! I didn't Make any provision for that, maybe you will help me. I almost 4get to tell you, I now have the 5hp 3phase Motor, I even tested it with the hopper connecting it with belt aroun the pully. Any more advice, if you have pics pls send them. Thanks

I don't even know why you have to take the cone to an electrician. From what you have said, he will build a heating system and I can deduce that he will also add a temperature control. Won't it be more expensive than just building a containment vessel around the cone and use an ordinary water heater on it?

wambai80:
I don't have a gear reducer, rather, they contract something like pressing Iron controller which I reduce and increase the speed of the motor. I know the soap doesn't need to melt but needs heat 50-60° for it to soften so as to make it smooth. If you don't mind, I need your phone number.

I don't know how that controller works but like I stated before, if you don't have a gear reducer, you have not started. The gear reducer most correspond to the electric motor and work load it is expected to carry.

When you say the cone is thick, what do you mean? Thickness affects the degree at which the soap receives the heat as well as withstand the pressure from the soap. How did you form the cone? The soap need not melt before it passes out of the plodder. If you don't have a gear reducer, you have not started!!! Download different soap plodder machines on YouTube and watch how they work.

Is there any part of the machine you machined with lathe?

My friend is packing "Fs" in school because of phone

You are not serious!!!

wambai80:
Ok! Can you please give me an insight of how the cooling/heating system works with pictures? Thanks

there is a cooling section which is situated at the barrel and the heating section which is at the conical head. The cooling section allows the plodder to work constantly without any reduction in the speed at which the soap comes out. The heating section further refines the soap and makes its soft to pass through the conical head since pressure is built up there.

wambai80:
Ok! I just called the guy I bought the motor from, he said I should return it for the 5hp, I'll start sending the pics 2moro

Ok, but note that the capability of the torque produced by the 5HP that drives the gear to push out soap from the conical head is also dependent on the barrel size. There are so many other things you will also have to factor in oh. Also note that a 5HP plodder can not plod all sizes of soap. I will suggest you go see a working plodder before you embark on this.

Small tip: Consider the thickness of the worm plate, thickness of the barrel pipe, thickness of the shaft, the back cover of the plodder etc, so you can be able to make a machine that will be capable of withstanding the "back thrust" and at the same time permit effective heating and cooling of the system.

wambai80:
3 phase 2hp. I've fabricate the hopper and bought a stainless steel conveyor shaft, bearing's, pully (2) one for the shaft the other for the motor and a timing belt

2HP will not drive the plodder when it carries load. The minimum you can use is 5HP for a 50kg/hr capacity plodder.

Are you not going to use a gear reducer?

by the way, what's the diameter of the barrel you want to use? ...and what is the diameter of the shaft?

why stainless steel conveyor shaft?


You can do well by sharing pictures so we can appreciate what you are doing.

What other materials/parts have you gotten for the plodder?

wambai80:
oga iHart, na your step de follow ooo.. Ive stat the Plodder

Very good.

So what is the capacity of the electric motor? Is it three phase?

good for him!!!

see my signature

this is interesting...

goodluck as you explore. so what machine are you making first? maybe you Tell us the working principle, the parts and how you are going about it. we can also learn and chip in some ideas.

Wow, this is interesting. Can you start your own thread so we can follow you as you explore this business adventure?

you can use "TAATA" meaning baby in Igbo language.

he has done well. some of you bashing him may be using pit latrines or even shotput!!

ElectroLyte:
Why should you care about Islamic section.

Islamic section is a spiritual cage setup by seu.n to subdue them perpetually. They were force to swear allegiance and were given Permanent mark of the beats. Now the right to make their choice to Personal Profile Text is taken away.

This whole religion section will crash someday, because he failed to cage his brother in unBelieve just the same way he subdue the Islamites

where is my second wrap of weed sef

I don't really care about that section that is why I am asking him to find a way of not showing me threads from that section!

2special:
Seun won't accept... probably he has a selfish reasons for doing it.

...then he is not respecting the faith of the non Muslims. Other social media tend to show you contents tailored to what you like. Nairaland should program their own to do likewise. If you then pick interest outside what you like, you can search for such contents. They should develop this place, things are too analog here!!!

Digitalwitch:
What kind of partiality is this? If the moderator go ahead with this, it would be partial.nonsense

they have already gone ahead with it for a long time...

budaatum:
I had the same problem. But if you want to comment so much, don't let that stop you. It doesn't appear to have stopped quite a lot of other non-Muslims, and it doesn't make one a Muslim either.

Well, it has stopped me and I am not going to border about commenting on Islamic threads. So I wish not to see them.

budaatum:
Yes you can. You're just letting some tiny hump be a barrier! Jump!

I can't, because I want to comment, say I am a Muslim when I am not.

budaatum:
But you can comment, and many non-Muslims do too!

I cannot comment!

We have so many people of diverse faith here but we can divide them into four major categories: Christians, Muslims, traditionalists and Atheists. While anyone can make comments on any religious thread, non-muslims can't do same for Islamic thread. So I am of the opinion that Islamic threads should be made visible to only Muslims, even if they hit front page. If I can't comment on them, I should not see them. What we cannot comment or contribute to, should not be shown to us!!!

Non-muslims, What do you think about this?

He is actually telling the world that the only thing you can do in a Nigerian federal hospital as a medical checkup is taking vital signs. That man just embarrassed us.

died 1887, wow we got cameras in Nigeria back then? that's great!!

Is the man the Groom or a representative of the groom?

Maybe the groom is abroad, so he contracts his dad to get him a wife.

SpatialKing:
I must get 2 things before 2019
My PVC or VISA
Is either He leaves or I Leave

you can add rope to it, if PVC and VISA didn't work, then you can try rope. At least you will be sure of leaving the world entirely!!!

this is not the handwork of bonesetters.
