Paint Mixer Machine

Description

  • Design of a Industrial Paint Mixer Machine
  • Determine the operation parameters including speed of blade, rising and retracting time of the Hydraulic Piston.
  • Have a capacity range of mixing 600 Liters of paint with a range of viscosity.

How?

  • Solidworks is utilized to develop the 3D model.
  • ANSYS Work Bench to calculate the stress caused by the static and dynamic elements and check for bending.
  • Used Python to compute the bearing loads and choose from SKF Bearing Catalogue.

Results

  • After several iterations, the manufacturing was satisfactory and the end results matched initial expectations.
  • I along the manufacturing team scaled up the product to make it suitable to accomodate and mix 1000 Liters of paint.
