ABSTRACT
CANDLE MOULDING MACHINE
The fabrication of this candle moulding machine was
based on creative activity, which entailed integrated knowledge and application
of material science, strength of material, property of material and elements of
design. However, this project offered us
the opportunity to use a great wealth of experience, intuition, ingenuity and
aptitude-test to produce a system useful to the society.
Candle moulding machine is universally used for moulding candles stick
which supplement light during darkness.
Precisely, appropriate cheaper materials were
selected to suit the designed purpose which the cost analysis cleared explore
the production cost involved.
Finally, in order to achieve our
goal, more detailed information which defines the task were taken came of and
most interestingly the materials are locally source, talking into consideration
the properties of an ideal candle moulding machine indeed his candle moulding
machine completes favorable with the standard product.
DEDICATION
Dedicated to God Almighty and to every body that helped in the coming
true of this dream.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
If human kind can boast of anything than another in times of need, this
little work is evidence of such assistance.
Our special gratitude goes to our supervisor Engr, UKWUEZE of the
department of Mechanical Engineering IMT
Enugu for his inspiration, advice and thorough supervisor of this work. Our sincere thanks is also due to the staff
in the workshop for their earnest co-operation during the production, to Engr.
Omeje, Engr. Aneke Okoloekwe and to all the members of staff of the department
we are very grateful.
We are also greatly indebted to our Dear parents for their moral and
financial support for the progress of the project and successful completion of
the program in this great institute.

INTRODUCTION
Candle
molding machine is universally used for molding candlestick, which supplement
light during darkness. Since man is
endowed with the gift of sight and to make use of it in darkness a light source
is required and the attempt made to aid man in his shortcoming leads to the
production of a candle-molding machine had undergone series of modification in
order to meet the standard and requirements.
The recorded first candle-molding machine was made of iron bars, welded
flat to four by four stands and covered with jute materials. Due to the integration of certain properties
this was replaced with hard wood, but hard wood could not stand the test of
time due to wear and lack of other desirable properties.
Eventually,
light mild steel iron pipes of different diametre were used with raypia but all
this could not get to the major requirement of the machine
To ease
production and to save cost. Most of the
technical inventions were concentrated to arrest technological and human
constraints as well aesthetic sensibility.
However, the introduction of Aluminum pipe (Duraluminum) ie alloy of
aluminum, copper, magnesium and manganese brought a lot of designs and
reliability as well as ease of manufacture.
More so, the jute materials was replaced with Tarpautin or twine. The first candle moulding machine can now be
found in museum for technological research in Paris,
city of France and Manchester laboratory in England.
Based on this, we fabricated a
portable candle moulding machine which is influenced by a number of factors
ranging from cost of finished product, low scale production, ease of
manufacture more do the product which must correspond to specifications in the
design process of this sort, the mechanical properties of the materials used
were taken into consideration such as weld ability, strength, portability and
impact resistance according to functional requirement.
