DESIGN, MANUFACTURING, FABRICATION OF WAFER CUP BAKING MACHINE USING FORM TOOL

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Study has been devoted to change the conventional method of machining of the tapered component using boring tool on lathe machine and designing the tool of the products form and specification using it n non convensional milling machine. Today consumption of disposable products are breaking records, it has been a great negative impact in food industries as their products are being sold in a plastic cup though they are durable but simultaneously harmful for the consumer, so as to reduce the waste the idea of converting plastic cups to wafer cups have been developed. The idea of replacing the plastic cup with a wafer cup will create a great impact to the manufacturer, seller and also consumer which indirectly eliminate the harmful pollutants in plastics, solid waste. Manufacturing of the machine is done by using specially designed form tools so as to produce a desired end product on a horizontal milling centre (CNC) by generating a program manually as per the dimensions and various sizes of tools. Tool was manufactured by using an end mill of diameter 80mm which is standard dia for the End mill and this tool was grinded to form flutes with the helix considering tool geometry and was sent for hardening by performing heat treatment i.e tempering to relieve internal stress which will cause this tool to break during the machining process and to achieve super finish under high speed and feed rates to lessen cycle time for manufacturing. This machine comprises of a bottom die plate which will be acting as a female part of the machine and the top die to which male part will be attached, these dies are fabricated so as to move in the aligned direction for a smooth drop of wafer cup. This thesis deals with manufacturing of tool and also die which directly lessen the waste and increase taste and texture of the end product which is being produces and will hav the grear impact.This product can be used initially in a bakery items like desserts, semisolid items, high selling items.
