ABSTRACT

The process of manufacturing is very important in order to carry out this


project and to ensure that the students understand about what the needs are.
This project is about designing an Oil expeller which is a screw type machine
that mainly presses and extracts oil seeds through a press caged like cavity. It is
used for the extraction of edible oils. The raw materials used are nuts, seeds,
etc, which are supplied to the press in a continuous or discontinuous feed. As
the raw material is pressed, friction causes it to heat up. Here raw materials
enter from the top of the press and waste product exit at the far side. There
are two major reasons to use a hand operated oil expeller. Firstly In the
remote areas peoples are not acquainted with the technical parts of the
equipment, secondly it doesn’t consume electricity.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 The broad statement of design problem
We are going to design and analyse an oil expeller which is a screw type machine
that mainly presses seeds and nuts through a press cage like cavity. It is used for
the extraction of food oils. In addition to that the product should be small in size
so that it is easier to carry the product from one place to another. To complete
our product we have to go through different engineering processes. These
processes add value to our product and also provide a full knowledge to a
technical as well as a normal person. The very 1st thing we have to do is our
Team formation. Assigning a team leader and working accordingly. Next step is
preparing customer survey form and take their reviews (likes, dislikes,
feedback). After that we have to put importance on the key points. After
customer survey, we need to decompose the important functions and aspects.
Next step will be engineering specifications that is to compare our product‘s
theoretical specification values to other available products in the market. Next
step will be product architecture and thereby we need to prepare our models.
1st rough sketches, basing on rough sketches a partial model is to be prepared
in CAD software. Numerical calculations, part analysis and their specified value‘s
performance checking are to be done. After numerical calculations, the
assembly of the product is to be done. After all CAD process, the manufacturing
process begins. The parts after manufacturing needs to be fabricated. Then the
prototype is to be tested for its performance calculation. Then final step of the
product is report making, presentation and conclusion.

The book we referred for all our proceedings from beginning to end is Product
design by Kevin Otto and Kristin Wood [1].

1.4 Design checkpoint


The product design goes through a number of phases. Each phase is divided
into a number of steps. These steps must be properly executed and evaluated.
Checkpoints are used as the point of evaluation of those design steps. The
checkpoints ensure a systematic and timely completion of the design product.
These stages are called here as checkpoints. The final product has been
demonstrated by each team at the time of final presentation. These
checkpoints are shown in Table 1.4 and the design team has to pass through
each checkpoint.

Objective: To design and analyse a hand operated oil expeller in which we aim to use a
screw shaft, where the rotation of the shaft will generate sufficient crushing stress due
to which the oil from peanuts and seeds will be extracted. It generates a new concept of
manually operated expeller, hence reducing the transportation cost, when it is being
carried for extraction to the cities and towns.

2.1.1. Customer Need Data
Customer needs can be profitably considered in general category based on how easily
the customer can express them and how rapidly they change. These are conceptual
categories, not distinct objective groupings. It is important though to understand the
differences among them. Different types of customer needs are
a. Direct Needs: These are the needs that, when asked about the product, customers
have no trouble declaring as something they are concerned about.
b. Latent Needs: These are the needs that typically are not directly expressed by the
customer without probing.
c. Constant Needs: These needs are intrinsic to the task of the product and always will
be. When a product is used, this need will always be there. Such needs are always
effective to examine with customer need analysis.
d. Variable Needs: These needs are not necessarily constant, if a foreseeable
technological change can happen, these needs go away.
e. General Needs: These needs apply to every person in the customer population.
f. Niche needs: These needs apply only to a smaller market segment within the entire
buying population.
2.1.2 Gathering Customer Needs
We have collected customer requirements using various techniques, like,
Questionnaires, Interview method etc. They will identify needs and constraints fit for
the project. Different techniques are applying for customer needs are
a. Questionnaires: The team develops a list of criteria where it is relevant to the
customer's needs. It then ranks the product on these criteria.
b. Interviews: The design team members discuss the needs with a single customer,
one at a time. Such interviews are usually held in the customer environment, where
the customer uses the product. The design team members record the customer’s
responses. This process works well for products that have a process associated with
their customer use.
2.2 Questionnaire Method
We prepare questions related to product criteria. We Sit together and discuss all
these questions, choose and modify, and finalise questionnaire.
Table 2.2: Questionnaire for the product

(c)Satisfactory
The above Table 2.2 represents 10 set of questions which were asked to each
customer and their answers were recorded. It is done with the help of survey form
called Questionnaire survey form.
In the above questionnaire, different Questions have different options and customers
were asked to tick the most suitable option according to their opinion.
The questionnaire was analysed with a study of the customers opinions and the most
frequent need was given highest priority than the least occurring one.
2.3 Interview method
There is basic header information related to the project and the interview subjects.
The form itself has three columns. The first column is used to record any particular
questions that sparks a customer’s response, the middle column is the actual customer
statement and the last column is the conversion of this actual customer statement into
a succinct noun, verb, adverb form, using the same words as the subject stated as
recorded in the second column. The Like/Dislike method has general row category to
record customer statements. If the customer likes the way a need is implemented, it
is recorded in Likes row. If the customer doesn't like how a need is implemented, it is
recorded in the Dislike row. The structure permits immediate understanding of what
needs to be focused on when redesigning a product. The fourth column records
linguistic expressions of importance that the customers may have used. For Example
follow Table 2.3

2.4 Organizing and prioritizing of customer needs
After collecting all the needs from 10 customers, we have to calculate the weightage
for redesigning the product. These are shown in Table 2.4. In this table 4 ratings are
given. Rating (4 -1) shows best to worst level. Following these weightage, we have to
modify our design.

2.5 Problem Statement
To design & develop a hand operated oil expeller which is simple, has low maintenance
cost, good service life, easy transportation and safe system by using Expeller pressing
mechanism.
The important functions and their constraints are the screw shaft, press cage material
handling capacity of expeller and cost of the whole product.
Taking on these things we also have to prepare a very compact size of our product
which will be handy in carrying and it should be hand operated.
Table 2.6: DESIGN CONSTRAINTS

Parameters Considerations

Stress Stress must be less than the yield stress value

Cost Cost must be less

Fit and The screw shaft should be fit properly with in the press
clearance cage
The crank handle should properly fit with the screw
shaft

Stability The base of the machine should be stable while


operating

Factor of safety The system should have a large factor of safety


Chapter 3 Function decomposition

It is a function which accepts “input” and gives a particular “output” that will give
the desired performance.
• It focuses on mapping customer needs to functional description.
• A function of a product is a statement of a clear, reproducible relationship between
the available input and desired output of the product independent of any particular
form.
• Black box model is important in order to use this model as a definitive statement of
the driving system.
• This model allows us to focus on the greatest, overall need for a product.
• It initiates the technical understanding of a product based on inputs and outputs.
• Concentration is achieved by a new concept of design or redesign and not how it is
to be achieved.
• Functional modelling provides a basis for organizing the design team, tasks, and
process.
• Black box model is important to use this model as a definitive statement of driving
system.
• Functional modelling gives the solution of design task. Through abstraction, a design
team may search for the “real” problem being solved while minimizing biases.

3.2 Function tree by FAST method


The Function Analysis System Technique (FAST) is used to define, analyse, and
understand product functions, how the functions relate to one another, and which
functions require attention to increase the product value. It is used to display functions
in a logical sequence, prioritize them and test their dependency. During this process,
these functions have different levels of importance. Out of all functions, one function,
that is overall product function has to be selected. The product function again
represents the main reason that the product exists in the eyes of the customer. Once
the basic function is identified, all other functions either as a whole or within any of its
subsystems are subordinate to the basic functions. These secondary functions are
essential to the performance of the basic function and further they are a direct cause
of the basic function. Secondary function can be categorized into three types:-
Required, Aesthetic and Unwanted. The secondary functions between the product
function and external secondary function forms the critical path of secondary
functions. For each secondary function, typically achieving the sub function introduces
ill side-effects. New functions therefore arise to mitigate these effects.
The FAST approach is a top down approach which starts with the overall function and
then decomposes it.

A system black box model allows us to focus on the greatest, overall need for the
product. It also initiates technical understanding of a product based on its inputs and
outputs, known as material, energy and signal flows. These flow types are sufficient to
describe a technical system or product. Black boxes models help maintain the focus on
the driving product function. It also provide a first mapping of customer needs to a
technical understanding of a design problem. The inputs and outputs of the black box
provide this mapping.

Product teardown and engineering specifications

4.1 Task distribution and monitoring


A product teardown, or simply teardown, is the act of disassembling a product, to
identify its component and parts, chip & system functionality, and component costing
information. Here we have to monitor each assembly and design aspects whereas,
some group of people do the Bill of Material.

4.2 Product teardown
Product tear down is the process of taking part a product to understand it, and to
understand how the company making the product succeeds. A product teardown
serves three primary purposes:
1. Dissection and analysis during reverse engineering
2. Experience and knowledge for an individual's personal database
3. Competitive benchmarking

4.2.1 Subtract & Operate Procedure (SOP)

It is another method of product teardown. SOP is a logical tool in product teardown. It


determines component functionality and/or redundancies (or potential redundancies)
in an assembly.

4.5 Basic Method: The House of Quality
Specifications for a new product are quantitative measurable criterias that the product
should be designed to satisfy. They are the measurable goals for the design team.
There are two aspects to a specification:
1. It is on a dimension that can support units.
2. It needs a target value.
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a methodology for defining the customer’s
desires in the customer’s own voice, prioritizing these desires, translating them into
engineering requirements and establishing targets for meeting the specifications. It
also embodies tools for defining the right problem to solve where a series of matrices
are used to structure information acquisition and documentation. Each matrix is called
a house of quality.
The main highlights of House of Qualities are:
1. Establishing engineering requirements
2. Making the relationship clear between customer needs and engineering
requirements by establishing target values and checking for conflicts.
3. It forms a clear summary of the product specifications and supporting data.

Chapter 5 Product architecture

Introduction:
It is the stage where we begin to make key decisions on how the product will physically
look and operate. It starts with the creation of effective layouts of components and
subsystems.
5.1 Task distribution and monitoring
Task was distributed for this session and it was completed accordingly.
Each task was assigned among the group members so as to complete it in due time.
The Table 5.1 below shows the task distribution for this section.

5.2 Modular design by basic clustering
This represents a basic technique for establishing a modular product architecture. The
overall goal is to translate the customer needs into rough layouts of a product. To
accomplish this goal, small modules must be identified in the product. A product
function structure begins the process followed by clustering, generating the rough
geometries and defining interactions.
Function Structure:
It clusters the modules into chunks. The chunks in assembly will give a sub system.
Each and every sub system combined gives a full systematic representation of the
product. Figure 5.1 below is the representation of clustered function structure.

Concept Generation
This stage provides a forum for designers to apply creative ideas and contribute their
personal skill. The main goal of concept generation is to develop as many ideas as
possible. It also represents the time when technology is chosen or developed to fulfil
the customer needs. This approach will lead to broader number of solutions for each
of the product’s functions. These solution principles may be applied to alternative
layouts that are created and alternative concept classes defined by the portfolios. The
process is to combine the solution ideas of each product function into concept
variants. This step in the process is challenging and nonlinear. Concept generation
methods broadly are of two types:
1. Intuitive methods
It focuses on idea generation from within an individual or group of individuals .The
methods work to remove barriers to divergent thinking leading to better
visualization of the features in a product, the environment of idea generation may be
filled with conditions that promote creativity. Examples of this methods include
brainstorming and morphological charting.

2. Directed (logical)
Directed methods are systematic, step by step approach to search for a solution. This
method rely on technical information, expertise and guidelines to seek solutions to
technical problems.

6.1. Task Distribution and Monitoring


The task for this work has been divided among the group members. The Team leader
has assigned different tasks to different members and set the timeline for completion
of the task as shown in Table 6.1.

6.2 Brainstorming
It is a powerful technique for generating concepts by intuitive method .The main focus
is on product function and architecture where team members communicate ideas
among themselves verbally during a set of time period .The aim of brainstorming is to
produce several concepts that might work as solution principles to a piece of the
design problem. The main advantage of brainstorming is the ability of a set of
individuals to collectively build on each other’s ideas that would not arise individually.
Team members will have to piggyback and leapfrog each other. Piggyback creates
building block ideas to words, body language, statements and concepts stated by a
team member. Leapfrog will help in bringing different expertise, skills, and personality
to a group effort.
Disadvantage of this method is that the right idea will not come at the right time.
Group conventions may get side tracked or original ideas may get inhibited.

6.4 Component sketching

In the above Table 6.2, the customer needs are associated with the product functions
to determine the primary function drivers.
Once associated functions are identified, each receives the value of original Customer
need rating.
This approach effectively assigns a customer need rating to those functions that are
viewed to directly affect the associated customer need.
6.5 Morphological analysis

A systematic method for this assembly and continued idea creation is known as
morphological analysis or charting. It is a tool that provides a structured search and
combination of concepts in product design.

Chapter 7
Concept selection

Each concept variation developed earlier must be evaluated, compared and one
feasible concept must be chosen. The order of magnitudes estimation should be
employed to determine the technical feasibility of a product’s concept. Then, to select
a concept among the concepts that passes the order of magnitude analysis, a more
refined decision making analysis tool must be used. A basic method intended for this
is called the Pugh chart. Product development can be thought of as having three basic
tasks such as gathering information, making decisions, or disseminating information.
The concept selection process presented here is a means to deal with this uncertainty.
The selection process is a five step process plus iterations:
1. Forming consensus on the criteria.
2. Forming consensus on the alternatives.
3. Ranking the alternatives.
4. Evaluating the alternatives.
5. Attacking the negatives.

7.2 Technical feasibility


Technical feasibility of a model is dependent on familiarity with dimensional units and
familiarity with the different values along the dimensions. There are four steps to
estimate the feasibility: imagine, model, compare and judging. These steps are
enriched with mathematics, science and engineering.
The first step is to paint a mental picture of what happens with the concept and
imagine points along energy, material or information flows through the concept where
one might measure an input-output change or a capacity build up in the concept. The
second step is to select each and every dimension of the model. The third step is to
use the concept and model to provide a comparison with the known quantity. The
fourth step is to judge whether the estimated quantity compares with a known
quantity.
According to each and every step, our prototype is designed. First the imagination,
then the dimension was cleared. Then the model was designed. Finally it is checked
with the conventional one.
An industrial concept selection process is a team based decision making effort. The
selection process is a five step process plus iterations:
1. Forming consensus on the criteria
2. Forming consensus on the alternatives
3. Ranking the alternatives
4. Evaluating the alternatives
5. Attacking the negatives
The first step is to establish evaluation criteria on which the concept selection decision
will be based. Generally, most selection decisions are based on three evaluation
criteria of cost, then development risk, technical difficulty, or ability to meet scheduled
delivery, and finally performance or customer satisfaction. The second step is forming
consensus on the alternatives which includes different alternatives, the definition of
each and every alternatives etc. The next step is to rank each clearly defined
alternatives. Once the ranking is completed for each criterion, the evaluations are
done
7.3 Using Pugh chart as decision making tool
Pugh chart is a type of a decision making tool which was developed by Pugh
(1990).These tools, known as Pugh charts, use a minimal evaluation scale and three
overall ranking matrices. Pugh charts are the most effective known tools for
preliminary concept selection when there is a minimal information quality available.
They are also effective as the information quality increases and the selection scale is
refined. The goal of any selection process is to obtain as much information and concept
details as cycle time and resources permit.

In the Table 7.2 all the criteria are explained. The criteria are basically the customer
needs that say how the criteria can be achieved.
In the Table 7.3 (Pugh chart), a datum is taken for each criteria. The concepts were
now evaluated comparing with the datum. If the option in the concept holds equal
value to the datum, then S is noted down. If the concept is better than datum, then
“+1” is noted. If the concept has less value than the datum, then it is noted “-1”. Each
column bears a summation value that is noted down. Among all the values in the
column, the suitable concept is chosen.
Chapter 8
Product embodiment

Product embodiment enhances the role in the development of the thoughts or ideas.
Embodied designs bring mathematics to life, studying the effects on the body and on
the mind; researchers learn how to design objects and activities for learning. Learning
strategies based on embodied designs rely on motion and visualization; physical
activities are helpful in learning a mathematical concept. When students are physically
and mentally involved in learning, they retain content better. Recent theoretical
advances such as Embodied Cognitive Load Theory have been suggested to harvest
the potential advantages of embodied interaction modes for learning without filling
up the cognitive resources.

8.2 Refining geometry and layout
In the context of creating a robust product, two issues drive concept embodiment:
1.Refining a product’s geometry and architecture, and 2.Systems modelling towards
detailed design. These two issues pertain to four design scenarios: original design,
adaptive design where a significant new technology is introduced, adaptive design
where a simple system is modified, or parametric design. Of these four scenarios, the
complexity of developing an embodied product is much greater for the first two due
to the number of decisions that are needed. For any of these scenarios, however, the
desired results of an embodiment process include the following tangible
documentation: detailed drawings, exploded views, assembly diagrams etc.
Ideally, the result of concept development is a single concept, with one chosen
alternative for each sub system. In reality one usually ends up with one of three
situations:
A single concept with some function choices that are not set because they are not
primary.
A family or platform of products with single choices for each member of the family
The preliminary stages of the product development process transform a problem with
infinite possibilities, lots of imperfections, and unclear information into one that has
clarity and has a finite set of solutions associated with it. Embodiment design, on the
other hand, moves the process iteratively towards a definitive form, including:
Geometric layout
Material composition
Quality and manufacturability issue & Economics
The process begins by considering the product specifications. Using the customer
needs and other specifications, the critical needs are identified which will drive the
embodiment of the product.

8.3 SYSTEMS MODELLING:
This technique can be applied when embodying a concept. Systems models are
representations of a product that predict the product's performance under varying
input (environmental & boundaries) conditions. These models need to be extended to
facilitate design parameter and manufacturing decision during concept embodiment.

8.3.1. Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) Method

The foundation of robust product design is built on the concept of product quality and
engineering quality. Customer quality is to minimise the performance variation of a
product for all environmental and user conditions. Engineering quality is to ensure that
a product functions as it is intended to, without falling short of customer's implicit
expectation. The second type of quality is intended to ensure that a product has
adequate strength, reliability, environmental impact prevention and accident
prevention measures. A more advanced and complementary technique is known as
failure modes and effect analysis (FMEA). FMEA is an analytical technique used by a
product design team as a means to identify, define and eliminate any kind of failures
to the extent possible known as potential failure modes of a product system. This
technique should be used cooperatively with systems modelling to investigate and
determine good choices for variables that define a product.

Product metric model

This metric model is a reference like model which is made up by taking the help of
proper dimensioning. And, here we have to select the dimensions and other
measurements according to the requirements of the customers and the targeted
market. This is only so that we can maintain the usages and abilities to buy from the
customers. For each organizational event, the metric model is first checked, and then
the accessories are designed accordingly to the metric model.

9.2 Model selection by performance specifications


While selecting a model metric for a product, we should clarify and improve a
product’s concept so that engineering principles can be easily applied. Many
possibilities only exist for formulating a good mathematical model. Model Preparation
provides a means of narrowing down the possibilities by
allowing us to systematically choose a metric and a modelling approach that will
encourage confidence in the design team.

9.3 Constructing Product Models
Early stages of product development provides us with all the necessary descriptions of
what we need to add in order to get the perfect model in a design problem. Model
preparation and selection establishes the first link of the informal description to a
quantified metric. Having a complete functional model & architectural layout provides
us with additional structure to further construct a formal model.
Function decomposition is the first step in constructing a completely engineered
model. The function structure contains a simple identification of informal information.
The entries are not necessarily model variables, but simply flow of energy, materials
and signals through component concepts that solve the function. More structure is
needed to maximize the product performance. This structure is simply obtained by
relating the performance values to the design configuration values through design
variables.

Chapter 10
Design for Manufacture, Assembly & Environment
A common failure in product development is making products that operate as required
but are also very hard to build. Difficulty in manufacturing makes a product expensive
and infeasible. Design for manufacturing and assembly is the analysis part and
redesigning of a product to make it easier and simpler to manufacture. The society
generates and consumes a large percentage of the earth’s resources that we must
consider our impact on the environment in our technical decision making. Designing
for environment is a product design approach in order to reduce the impact of
different products on the environment.

10.2. Applying Design Guidelines
The most basic approach in order to design, manufacture and assembling is to apply
the design guidelines. After developing a design concept, one should check it on each
of the design guidelines and change the design accordingly to satisfy the guidelines.
DFA Guidelines
1. Minimize the part count by incorporating multiple functions into single parts.
2. Modularise multiple parts into single sub-assemblies.
3. Assemble the parts in open spaces, not in confined space.
4. Make parts easy to identify and how to orient them for insertion.
5. Standardise parts to reduce part varieties.
6. Maximise part symmetry.
7. Design according to geometric or weight polar properties.
8. Eliminate tangy parts.
9. Colour code parts that are different but similar in shape.
10. Prevent the nesting of parts among each other.
11. Provide orientation features for non-symmetric parts.
12. Design the mating features properly for easy insertion.
13. Provide alignment features.
14. Insert new parts into an assembly from above.
15. Insert parts from the same direction. Never turn the assembly over around.
16. Eliminate fasteners.
17. Place fasteners away from obstructions.
18. Deep channels should be sufficiently wide to provide access for fastening tools.
19. Providing flats for uniform fastening & fastening ease.
20. Proper spacing ensures allowance for a fastening tool.
10.3 Manufacturing Cost Analysis
The design for manufacturing and assembly philosophy aside from the cost analysis is
to determine how the product delivers major costs to compare with the competition.
Major cost drains can arise from material procurement, part production, assembly or
finalised product delivery.
Manufacturing cost is the sum of all the expenditures while purchasing inputs and
disposing of the outputs to the manufacturing system. This includes raw materials,
purchased components, employee's efforts, energy, equipment, maintenance
materials and plant disposal costs. A metric of cost commonly used is a unit of
manufacturing cost, which is the total manufacturing expenses over a period of time
divided by the total number of units produced during that period.

Fig.10.1: Production Cost Analysis Breakdown


For product development purposes, a more effective breakdown is to consider costs
according to the physical manufacturing processes. Each of these can then be used
and different processes can be considered. As shown in figure 10.1, we will form a
contributing manufacturing cost breakdown consisting of:
• Piece Part Costs: This covers the cost of both parts made as well as bought from the
suppliers.
• Assembly Costs: This covers the costs of assembling the parts into the product.
• Overhead Rate: This covers the costs of supporting direct production of parts and
assembly.

The first step in establishing an assembly cost model is to establish the assembly
sequence hierarchy. In the tree diagram, the final product is the trunk and each
attached part is a leaf. Exploded view (Figure 10.3) diagrams are very helpful in
constructing the assembly tree.

10.4. Design for Environment (DFE)
Design for environment is a very important section for any design team because at the
end of the day the team’s main goal is to design something that is not only efficient
but also friendly towards the environment in order to leave a positive impact.
We have to think of the society and about the welfare of others before we start
dumping unused waste neglecting its consequences. A growth area for society,
engineering and design can be achieved by simply maintaining a standard which meets
the adhered technological standards, but at a sustainable level of low environmental
impact so that it may not harm the environment at an alarming rate. Design for the
environment is a product design approach for reducing the impact of designed
products on the environment and on the society as a whole.

10.4.1. List of Environmental Issue & Guidelines


In general there are two issues having an effect on the environment :-
Global Issues
There are pollution problems which scourge the earth on a global scale. These include
concerns over climatic changes, ozone layer depletion, loss of biodiversity and
extinction.
Our parts and assembled system have no global issues.
Regional & Local Issues
These are the environmental problems that affect the environment on a regional or
more local level. These include problems like acid rain, pollution caused from by-
products. Air pollution & smog also are regional problems. Water pollution, either in
the ground water, river, bay, or ocean, is also a regional problem.
Our parts and assembled system have no global issues.

Finite Element Analysis is an effective design platform which helps in accomplishing
the required task efficiently. This method is quite inexpensive as the materials used
are cheap and also safe in a variety of operating conditions. SOLIDWORKS uses FEA
methods to calculate the stresses acting on the product due to different types of loads
such as:
• Forces
• Pressures
• Accelerations
• Temperatures, etc.

A physical prototype is an assembly that is fabricated by taking the various individual
parts of the product into account. It is the simplified form of the products concept.
Certain conditions are created in order to test it to find out its operation ranges. This
is best done with the help of a prototype whilst being able to extract as much data
possible from these tests.

12.2. Mock-Up Materials and Processes
For the material selection process, a number of criteria’s should be satisfied when
making a decision:
1. Cost
2. Availability
3. Ability to undergo changes
4. Ease of forming capability
5. Scalable geometry and properties
Based on these criterias, we have selected some materials that are available for
prototyping.
Wood
Generally wood materials are very good during early prototyping stage. Wood
materials are readily available, easily workable using inexpensive tools, and are
available in large variety of sizes.
Table 12.2: Prototyping Properties of Wood

Hard wood • More expensive than pine


(Oak, Birch, Mahogany etc.)
• Makes more precise joints
• Holds fastener better

• Higher load capability

• High strength
Plywood • Available in large sheet

• Choice of grades

• Wood products impregnated with resins


Wood Products • Very dense
• Available in sheets
Metals
Metals are the most preferred material for prototype construction. For smaller scale
customer products, off the shelf components are frequently used when metal
subsystems are needed in prototypes. In some cases, it is necessary to fabricate metal
components from raw materials to be used in the prototype.
Table 12.3: Prototyping Properties of Metals
• Easily machinable
• High strength to weight ratio
Aluminium
• Difficult to weld
• Available in variety of alloys and shapes

• High strength
Steel • Easy welding
• Available in plates as well as bars.
• Easily machinable
Brass • Can be brazen
• Corrosion resistance

• Relatively expensive

Prototyping processes
Numerical models allow us to experiment with the product without the threat of any
error to the actual product. Likewise, solid modelling and rendering have enabled the
process of visualisation and error correction of the product’s geometry with the added
option of making necessary changes to it. Prototyping fabrication process makes this
step possible. A number of fabrication processes exist for creating the desired
prototypes.

For Handle –
A MS rod was heated and bent. Another small MS pipe with a hole in it was welded at
one end in order to accommodate the handle of the screw shaft.
For Hopper –
For the hopper GI sheet was supposed to be bent into required shape, but in order to
reduce the overall cost and to make use of discarded waste materials a bottle was cut
in half and used as the hopper.
For Support plate –
Raw Material used is Mild Steel plate. Plates were cut according to given dimensions.
Then milling of the plates were done. Drilling of holes were done as per requirement.
For Press cage –
MS pipe was turned in lathe machine and welded to the support plate. Another small
MS pipe was welded at the top of the press cage to facilitate seed intake.
For Screw shaft –
A MS rod was converted into a screw shaft using CNC machining.
12.5. Assembly of all components:

- The base plate was welded with the support plate.


- The seed intake pipe was welded at the top of the press cage.
- The screw shaft along with the washer was inserted into the press cage.
- The press cage was then press fitted with the cap and adjustment bold was tightened.
- Then the press cage was welded to the support plate at the other end.
- The handle was attached and locked with a pin.
- Finally the hopper was inserted.

Prototype Testing and Improvements
The main problems faced during prototype fabrication is the quantity that is to be
built, the variables involved, how to control noise and experimental uncertainties, and
how to finalise the data obtained from testing. These issues bring into light the subject
of the design of experiments. It provides a statistical ground for analysing the problems
face during an experiment.

13.2. Design of experiments:
INSERT ASSEMBLY PIC
- When the product is ready to be tested, but before testing we need to make sure
certain steps are followed in order to get a positive and safe output.
- Nuts and seeds of different types are supplied through the hopper at a rate of 1kg/
hour with gaps in between.
- A spirit lamp or a candle is lighted at the bottom of the press cage for about 5 mins
in order to preheat the seeds and to make sure the oil does not stick to the interior
surface of the press cage.
- A collector is placed at the proper location in order to collect the oil that is being
extracted from the seeds.
- After making sure the above steps are carried out properly we then proceed to rotate
the crank handle in order to get our desired output of oil.

Test Results and Analysis:


First, we inserted groundnut seeds into the hopper and the handle was rotated gently.
After some time the extracted oil was collected in a jar correspondingly with the waste
material being collected from the cap. The main problem faced with the entire process
was that due to more pitch of the screw shaft some seeds were not crushed properly
and some oil was being collected at the cap end. From the mass of the waste material
collected we got to calculate the oil yield percentage. And thus from the oil yield
percentage we can calculate the efficiency of the screw shaft and the expeller.
Secondly, the same procedure was repeated by using peanuts after a thorough
cleaning of the inner assembly of the oil expeller.

Raw Material Standard % of Oil Actual % of Oil Efficiency of the


machine
Yield Yield

Groundnut 50 20 40
Peanut 40 15 37.5

Overall Efficiency= (40+37.5)/2=38.75%


13.3. Scope of improvement
Improvements that can be implemented to increase overall efficiency and feasibility
are-
- Noise can be reduced by using a bearing and proper lubrication.
- Oil yield can be increased by decreasing the pitch of the screw shaft which helps in
crushing seeds easily.
- Work experience can be perfected by applying a rubber cladding at one end of the
handle.
- Different material choice for the cap can help reduce cost.

Conclusions
A Hand Operated Oil expeller was designed and manufactured by mainly using locally
available and discarded materials in order to avoid wastage, It was tested with
groundnut and peanuts for oil extraction. The expeller was simple enough for local
fabrication except the screw shaft. It’s operation, repair and maintenance were also
quite simple. It is operated manually with an overall efficiency of 38.75 %. The expeller
was mainly designed to be used for small scale groundnut oil extraction in the rural
and urban communities where there is lack of electricity and transportation cost to
the towns play a vital role. A cottage groundnut oil processing plant based on this
technology can make and an individual can be self-employed. The groundnut oil
produced will be available at affordable costs for consumers and also the waste
material can be used as manure for livestock feed mills. The best part of our product
is it can easily designed, manufactured & disassembled with the proper tools.
