Design and Implementation of Soap Forming Machine Prototype

Abstract

This project aims to produce a machine that minimizes the efforts required for the process of forming handmade local soap. As well as, increasing the quality of local soap to compete in the local and global markets. The project is designing and constructing a fully automated machine.

At the beginning, the researchers studied the mechanism of operating of the machines, used worldwide, that produce soap. Then, they worked on the designing of a machine that works on the formation of soap, adding aromatic smells and colors the equipment and devices necessary for the construction of this project have been determined, including PLC control program.

The project produced a model of machine for mixing raw soap with aromatic smells and colors; in addition, it extrudes the produced soap, forming and cutting it according to the required size. This process provided a production of various shapes of soap with a wide variety of colors and aromatic fragrances. This soap is ready for packaging and marketing.
