CONSTRUCTION OF SOAP CUTTING DEVICE

ABSTRACT

The aim of the project is to construct a soap cutting device capable of size-remaining the soap produced into regular bars and tablets without error in shapes and sizes. Soap cutting devices are used to size reduce or cut the bulk of soap produced into bars and tablets.  Soap cutting devices facilitate the process of cutting the produced soap to a required size that can be handled.  It is a kind of modern technical way of size reducing the already produced soap in a modern and easy way.
Hardwood (Mohagany) and wire was selected for the construction of the project.  Methodology of the construction involved marketing out operation which involved the dimensioning of the table and cutter (wire) – 760mm, width of the table -570mm, lenfth used as an 250mm etc.Other operations carried out in the construction process includes, cutting, surface smoothening, grooving, nailing, and wine installation.Finally a manual soap cutter with table was constructed with the following turbance, resistance to impact load / disturbance and branding  force, reliability and accuracy.
