CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Nigeria’s economy has
suffered a terrible setback over the year the common man finds it
difficult to make for his livelihood, some people take pop-corn as one
of their favorite food especially bachelors spinsters who can take
pop-corn as super, breakfast and even lunch.
The University and
Polytechnics graduate no longer find good employment thereby embarks on
self-employment by constructing popcorn machine to meet their needs.
This
unemployment constitutes the economic depression of our nations. The
popcorn-making machine in constructed with locally made materials at a
reduced cost. The design, construction and fabrication of the machine
i.e. not in any known text at the moment, the project group therefore
faced design, construction and fabrication problem.
1.2 DESIGN CONSTRUCTION AND FABRICATION PROBLEM
The problems associated with the design of the machine are discussed below.
1.
Selection of Electric Motor: In the market, there are various types of
motor with varying speed of rotation per minute. The automated popcorn
machine has a striver which turns the corn inside the cast opts as
heating on. The striver, which rotates due to the rod connected to it
from the motor, should rotate with a low speed to produce the desired
effect. In our research, we were able to discover that only a low speed
motor could give the desired turning effect.
2.
Heating Element: Another problem in the choice of heating element. There
are various kinds of heating elements available in the market ranging
from 850- 1500watts. The elements come in different shapes, sizes, and
makes e.g. spring type, ring type and plate type.
3.
Third Design Problem is Control and Safety: In the system we discovered
that there is the need for the finance circuit to control the operation
of the electrical popcorn machine.
4. Construction
and Fabrication of the Housing for the Machine: This is fourth problem,
which involves the use of per pex holler rectangular aluminum bars in
profile glasses and metal handle. With respect to safety. The machine
was made to be safer for the users by incorporating the user of
insulator in the design.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE DESIGN
1. To eliminate the use of manual popcorn machine.
2. To save time and manpower as most of the work in now done by using electricity.
3. To achieve mass production.
4. To use electrical energy in the production of popcorn.
5. To produce popcorn at a reduced cost.
