    connected to the large pulley over main shaft, which is large.
    I. INTRODUCTION
    Initially the speed from motor is reduced and given to the
    Powder metallurgy process is getting popularized because driver shaft by means of belt drive where about 12.30% of
    of the advantages such as ability to mix the reinforcement initial speed is achieved making 1420 rpm to 174 rpm. Then it
    having greater density difference with the matrix which is not is given to the secondary belt drive where the speed is much
    possible in casting process[1]. Blending is critical step in reduced making the speed from 174 rpm to 21 rpm. The
    powder metallurgy for obtaining the uniform distribution of power transmission through belt drive mechanism is shown in
    particle reinforcement in metal matrix composite, to fig. 2
    efficiently mix the different particle size materials for reduced
    porosity[2]. Manual blending often results in agglomeration
    of particles[3]. Blender are also used widely in the
    pharmaceutical industries[4]. Tanabe et al[5] studied the
    effect of blender size on granular mixing. Brone et al.[6]
    enhanced the performance of the blender by having deflector
    plates by several folds. Even though commercial blenders are
    available but they are expensive, so an attempt has been made
    to fabricate double cone blender at low cost.

    II. DESIGN OF COMPONENTS OF DOUBLE CONE


    BLENDER
    Frame is the structural member supports one end of a shaft

    to which the motor is connected. It is on the right side of the
    arrangement. It transfers the load or forces acting on the shaft
    Double cone mixing chamber is fabricated according to the
    to the base. The Frame is made up of mild steel made in a
    dimensions shown in figure 3. Chamber is made up of
    triangular truss arrangement in order to reduce the deflection
    stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance property for
    and to support the double cone aperture. 3D CAD model of
    prolong life. The chamber is made up of 3 parts, two end parts
    the frame along with the base is shown in fig. 1
    are of frustum of a cone and the center part is made of
    Base is the component over which the whole setup is
    cylindrical shape. The three parts are fabricated individually
    placed. It takes all the loads from the frame and it is made up
    through sheet metal work and welded together through arc
    of a mild steel material, which is difficult to deform. The base
    welding process, in order to avoid the distortion during
    is fitted with the triangular beam truss, which converts the
    welding first spot welding is done around the edge to arrest
    load of the double cone to the base. Shaft is used to transmit
    the distortions and then gap filled with continuous seam. The
    mixing chamber after welding is shown in figure 4. Grinding

    III. FABRICATION AND ASSEMBLY


    The fabrication and assembly of components of the machine
    Fig. 2. Power transmission mechanism is done as per the steps given below.

    Table - I Specifications of the motor


     Firstly the double cone setup was made by sheet metal
    operation.
    Particulars Details
    Build Lakshmi ayya grinding motors  A cylinder was made based on the specification in design.
    HP
    Speed
    0.25HP
    1420 rpm
     The cone and cylinder were welded together using arc
    welding.
    Phase Single
     A pair of shafts were welded in a metal plate and were again
    welded to the double cone set up.
     They where mounted on two journal bearings to give free
    rotary motion.
     The base and frame is made using mild steel pipes.
     Pipes were cut to specific dimensions and welded together
    to form the frame of the blender.
     The motor that is available commercially suited for the
    application is selected and is bought
     The pulleys are casted using cast iron to the dimensions
    required based on speed reduction. Pulleys were select to
    satisfy the speed reduction and were fit to the frame.
     They were fit to a set up used to help them fit to the frame.
     The double cone is fitted over the support placed on the
    base framework by means of a pair of bearings and clamps
    Fig. 3. Dimensions of the Mixing Chamber that restrict linear motion of the shaft.
     The motor, the pulleys were aligned and the belts were used
    to connect the pulleys and to transmit power
     The whole blender is polished to remove the weld spots and
    make it clear.
     The base is painted with the anti-rusting paint to prevent
    rusting and to make a good appearance of the blender. The
    fabricated double cone blender is shown in the figure 5
