Design, fabrication and instalation of manual hydraulic pressing machine.

Abstract

In this work, we report the design, manufacture and installation of a manual hydraulic press. In order to obtain pellets using semiconductor-based nanomaterials a die was designed and manufactured. Utilizing a 16-ton hydraulic jack (GH) hydraulic press was manufactured because the pressure required for the manufacture of pellets is around 12 to 15 tons. For constructing the metallic structure, a rectangular tubular profile (PTR) with calibration 7 of 4x2 inches was used. Additionally, pieces of PTR caliber 9 of 1.5x1.5 inches and finally for the joints, 60/13 and 70/13 welding were used. One of the main advantages of this work is the obtaining of a relatively cheaper manual hydraulic press. One of the main advantage of the die is the fabrication of 5 pellets with different dimensions 0.5, 1 and 9 cm in same time. The applications of the manufactured pellets are the detection of toxic gases and / or the treatment of wastewater.
