CANDLE MAKER MACHINE

Abstract

One of the main issues that the scientific community is concerned with is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of cooking oil. Waste cooking oil is a major component of this process. This waste is produced by food industry, households, and establishments. Since it doesn't have a soluble nature, it can't be collected and thrown away properly. Therefore, it is considered a contaminant in the environment. The harmful effects of waste cooking oil on the environment and human health are numerous. It can cause flooding or overflows in sewers due to the build-up of waste cooking oil. The discharge of this oil into the water system will also change the oxygenation process and kill aquatic life. The main objective is to develop a simple and effective way to use used cooking oil. This method will help renew the used resources. The machine should be able to produce a candle with minimal effort and be easily stored. This machine helps the user to turn used cooking oil into a candle. By putting used cooking oil into this machine, adding the solution, and heating it up, everybody can easily make candle for their use or even for small business. The critical aspect is safety, we included a nozzle for easier access on pouring hot candle wax into a container. Functionality test performed to ensure the best performance. The fabrication methods started from generating and brainstorming idea followed by engineering design exploit technical drawing before the selection of parts. The fabrication continues by soldering, welding, and joining all selected elements. Functionality test performed to ensure the best performance in any condition. The results analyzed to defeat problem and solution offered attained for design purposes. Product and market review, financial management and mass production study engaged ready for market viable. "Candle Maker" offer functionality at a reasonable price, bid 40% cheaper than its competitor. The modern design makes them attractive and easy to be stored. For further improvement, using a wider rod to ensure a smoother candle wax output.
