DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF 300 LITRES PAINT MIXING VESSEL
Abstract
This research focuses on the design and fabrication of a 300 litre paint mixing vessel. The design was done using both mathematical calculations as well as SolidWorks software simulation. The process vessel dimensions were 845.3mm by 776.17mm, impeller blade was 232.9mm in diameter, agitator speed was 131.4rpm, and motor specification of 2 hp AC motor. The actual fabrication was made of mild steel using welding, machining, and forming techniques to join the vessel components, fabricate critical parts, and shape the vessel structure. Performance analysis of the vessel showed production of 300 litres paint under 30 minutes.
