Item The effect of tribological processes on productivity: a case study of industries in Ibadan metropolis of Nigeria(2009-05) Simolowo, O. E.; Adeniji, O. O.This study analyzed the connection between tribological and other forms of processes in manufacturing industries to productivity in such outfits. Results from the study showed that 54% of the visited industries recorded the highest hours of downtime due to tribological processes, while,15% and 31% of the industries had the highest downtimes hours resulting from electrical and other processes respectively. Also 23% of the total industries were observed to have more electrical faults, 31% recorded highest tribological issues, while 46% had more of non-tribological non-electrical faults.Item Multipurpose machine for sieving "ogi" slurry(2011) Simolowo, O. E.; Adeniji, O. O.A multipurpose machine for sieving 'Ogi' (ground com slurry) and other applicable grain slurry comprises the sieving container (003) which receives water frorn an external water unit {OI2) and the slurry 'Ogi' to be sieved through a hopper. Sieving is achieved by an arrangement of vibration and sitting mechanism (&13) which is electrically driven (009) by a motor. Depending on the type of ground grain slurry, interchangeable assembly of sieving arrangement are applied within the sieving unit to account for the multipurpose usage of the machine.
