| dc.description.abstract | A 2ton/hr charcoal briquetting machine was designed and simulated as per the project title. This was
designed to meet the product and financial constraints of Uganda. The machine design was to solve
the problems of Inadequate Briquette Production and The Relatively high cost of Improved Machines.
The machine design is a co-rotating twin screw extruder basically to meet the output requirements. The
torque is transmitted from the motor through the V-belt drive system which is connected to the two
gear configuration enabling the co-rotation of the twin screws. The machine was designed with great
reliability and machinability. The machine design is an electrically powered machine of 37kW. The
machine is expected to cost 7.214million Uganda Shillings to construct and be sold at 8million Uganda
Shillings to the end user. The CBA analysis predicted a payback period of 0.35years ≅ 18weeks,
making the project economically feasible.
This report in detail elaborates how the above figures were attained. | en_US |
