Design and construction of a peanut butter manufacturing machine.
Abstract
This report contains information on the design and construction of an affordable peanut butter
manufacturing machine using locally available materials. The peanut butter making machine
uses a stainless-steel blade to grind the peanuts to peanut butter and uses a single-phase motor
as a source of rotary motion for the stainless-steel blade.
This report consists of five chapters. Chapter one contains information about the project
background, problem statement, project objectives, scope and Justification. Chapter two
contains information about the literature review concerning peanuts production and other
relevant information concerning the different peanut processing stages. Chapter three contains
the methodology leading to the design and fabrication of the peanut butter manufacturing
machine. Chapter Four contains the results and analysis made after testing the machine
prototype. Chapter Five contains the final recommendations and conclusion.
This report also has References for the information and an appendix having relevant supporting
information and Engineering Drawings for the Machine Designs.
