THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A HOT PRINTING MACHINE ABSTRACT Parameters on which clear prints depends were comprehensively investigated. The study revealed that clear print depends on the impressed pressure, the working temperature and the silver print paper. Also studied were the manners of dependence of these parameters on prints impressed on sheets of varied thickness. The result of this investigations were utilized in the design and construction of a operational hot (manual) printing machine.

Printed matters are indispensable material in mass literacy campaign. The trend towards indigenous technology imposes a severe clamp down on imported engineering including printing machinery. Thus, the situation is such that makes the acquisition of printing machinery from outside our own borders extremely difficult. To lessen the economic strain on the mass literacy campaign, the production of local printing machinery I s apparently imperative. It is this fact that rendered initiative to the conception and realization of this low cost but efficient printing machine based entirely on local technology and resources. This machine is very useful in the printing of many items like paperbacks, cards, leatherbacks etc. Its design is expected to motivate and advance the design and construction of other machines destined for similar purposes and based on indigenous technology and resources. 1.2 PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT Civilization and complexity of modern society has brought a number of social problems to be traced. The use of textbooks, printed materials such as success cards and posters has now become imperative for the overall dissemination of heart felt feelings and messages to friends both near and far. Unfortunately, the prevailing economic pr oblem in the country (Nigeria) have sky rocketed the prices of these items. Renders for example now rely solely on the libraries for up dating their knowledge. It becomes clear then, the need to equip the libraries to met up with the challenges of their services. Apart from refurbishing damaged books libraries are expected to render services such as printing of cards, printing and binding of students write ups like thesis, project etc. All this needs formed the basis for the construction of this machine because these functions cannot be performed without a printing machine. 1.3 DEFINITIONS TYPES - These are the characters or alphabets that form the letters PRINT - This is the mark or impression produced on pa per due to the types SILVER SHEET DEPOSITS - This is a thin rectangular cellophane sheet coated with silver compounds.

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Cassava which is known biologically as “manihotesculentacrantz” is a crop which has many varieties. Cassava, is a perennial woody shrub in the Euphorbiaceous (Spurge family) native to South America, but now grown in tropical and sub-tropical areas... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT There is need for the hygienic processing of cassava prevalent conditions in the commercial grating areas of this staple food show a susceptibility to food contamination. A home scale cassava grater was improved on in a design and fabrication. Machine efficiency, safety factors, and portability were considered in this research. The... Continue Reading
Abstract Welding is a way of heating pieces of metal using electricity or a flame so that they melt and stick together. It can simply be defined as the process of joining two or more pieces of metal to make the act as a single piece. This is often done by melting the work pieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material that... Continue Reading
This project seek to modify the existing cassava grating machine to make it to be self-feeding in operation, to make the operation of the machine easier, safer The existing processing techniques used in the production of cassava starch and cassava dough leaves much to be desired. There are difficulties in the grating of the cassava dough, since... Continue Reading
The main aim and objective of this project is to design and build and arc welding machine that operates on 36vdc at variable frequency which of benefit to urban area. This reduces the weight and size of the transformer use for welding. To have an arc welding machine that is more efficient which produce neat welding. INTRODUCTION Welding is a way... Continue Reading
