PROGRESS REPORT

Name: TENGCO , LAVERN B. Student Number: _2018000977

Course, Year & Section: _BSME-4B_
Subject: MIP 422: Manufacturing and Industrial Plant Processes with Plant Visits
Progress Report No.: _3_ Date: _MARCH 25,2022___

As we BSME student we are thankful that we have a subject in our curriculum called

Manufacturing and Industrial Plant Process (MIP). It has a big help not only in our schooling bat

also in our daily doings in life. Manufacturing and Industrial Plant Process (MIP) has a topic that

can widen our knowledge being a Mechanical Enginering student and hoping being a

Mechanical Engineer in present.

One of the topic in the syllabus is the Methods,Process and Equipment involving in

handling of solids this is the preview of the topic; Feeders and Storage silos,Conveyors and

Conveying System,Size Deduction of Solids,Seperation and Classification of Solids.

Conveyor system is a kind of mechanical apparatus that is commonly used in the

mining,automotive,manufacturing and many different industries. The main use of conveyor

system is that its the responsible for transporting heavy materials or bulky materials. It can also

lessen the man power and also lessen the risk of human injury or accident when transporting or

lifting heavy objects/materials from one place to another.

 Size reduction from the word itself reduction is the process of which the size of a solid

is made smaller compare to its original size or shape. Size reduction can also called grinding,

size reduction of solids has different types depending on how hard is your product want to be.

The types of size reduction is the jaw crushers, Gyratory crushers, Cone crushers and Compound

crushers.

DRYERS AND DRYING PROCESSES -Drying makes a material convenient for packing,

preserving, transporting etc. There are different types of Drying process namely. Sun drying, hot

air drying, contact drying, infared drying, freeze drying, fluidized drying and dielectrical drying.

SUN DRYING - from the word itself sundrying process is drying process by exposure to the sun.

It is the oldest solution. The commonly fruits or vegetables that are being process is the banana

to produced banana chips and many banana products. CONTACT DRYING - It’s a method

where the product is putting in with contact with heated walls. But however direct contact of the

product in the hot wall can lead to the denaturation of the dried products. FREEZE DRYING -

it’s a method that is often recommended for the drying of sensitive food products. Freeze drying

is relatively slow and much expensive. DIELECTRICAL DRYING - drying by microwave and

radio frequency is based on dielectrical technology. This solution is the most adapted for drying

heat sensitive in the food, industrial and medical field to preserve all of their properties.
