Abstract:
The present study has critically designed and manufactured a press which can be operated by a hydraulic jack for not just compression works but also for forming, cutting and production of bales prior to recycling. The vertical press machine is supported by two springs for enforcement of pressure and compression required in metal squeezing operations. The components of the press includes a frame, springs, hydraulic jack, piston, connecting rod, forming box, base, bolts and nuts. The procedure employed an electric arc welding process in cutting, joining of the parts. The force required for the compression plate is 490N whereas the bale density and power of the ram is 1470N and 9.09 kg/m3 respectively. The hydraulic press was built at a cost of fifty thousand naira only (N50000) which is more cheap and economical when compared to the cost of a foreign made hydraulic press machine which cost about $7000 to $10,000. The produced machine met its design objectives and will definitely boast indigenous manufacturing industries in Nigeria.
