Development and evaluation of a portable raw material mixing system for food extrusion
(2014)In this study, mixing is identified to be the most crucial step during the pre-processing process of extruded food and feed stocks. This study therefore aimed to investigate different mixing techniques in an effort to ... -
An investigation into the deformation of direct metal laser sintered parts
(2015)Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is a rapid prototyping technique that allows for direct and rapid manufacturing of complex components. DMLS is however an intricate process and the quality of the final product is ... -
Die invloed van die materiaaleienskappe op die meganiese vervorming van die M82–ontsteker
(North-West University, 2004)The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of the material properties towards the mechanical deformation of the M82 igniter. This deformation causes the non-extraction of the igniter after a shot has been ... -
Modelling and design of a general purpose, vertical shaft conveyance, all level docking device
(2015)Deep level mining is widely practised throughout South Africa, particularly in the gold sector, where the extraordinary depths of vertical hoisting present an array of challenges. The accurate and secure positioning of a ... -
Supercritical fluid extraction of Sclerocarya birrea kernel oil
(2015)Sub-Saharan Africa is a treasure chest of natural materials remaining to be explored for commercial applications and as alternative foods to diversify and improve food sustainability. The Marula tree is available in abundance ... -
Thermal stress evaluation of thermo-blast jet nozzle materials
(North-West University, 2004)In the last few years a new method for surface preparation has evolved, namely thermo-abrasive blasting. This technique utilises a high enthalpy thermal jet to propel abrasive particles. The thermo-abrasive blasting gun, ...
