Assembly and Working

The equipment is assembled in a mild steel cabinet and finished with enamel paint. A shaft mounted on the upper platform of the cabinet is moved up and by a fraction HP motor. A horizontal strip with clamp at one end is screwed to the shaft. A basket having 6 tubes (7.75 cm long) with a disc of stainless steel wire gauze (10 sieve) is fixed to the clamp. A 1000 cc glass beaker, filled with the water, is kept under the basket. The water in the beaker is maintained at 37^OC. The temperature is controlled by an energy regulator with an accuracy of ± 2^OC. The shaft moves the basket vertically up and down through a distance of 5 cm. At the highest position of the basket, the gauze remains at about 2.5 cm below the surface of the water. At the lower position it remains 2.5 cm up from the bottom of the beaker. The complete up and down cycle of the basket is repeated thirty times per minute.
