التصميم والتحليل الإنشائي لقاعدة خلاط صناعي لتحسين كفاءة خلط المواد المضافة في تكرير الزيوت النباتية

Abstract

Vegetable oils play a central role in the food industry and undergo several refining stages designed to remove impurities and improve their physicochemical properties. Among these stages, the addition of color-adjusting or nutrient-enhancing materials—such as beta-carotene or specific vitamins—requires a high degree of mixing uniformity to ensure consistent product quality. This study examines the design and structural analysis of an industrial mixer base developed specifically for this stage of processing. The work combines three components: three-dimensional modeling, finite element analysis, and practical fabrication using modern industrial manufacturing techniques.

The simulation results indicate that the proposed design provides strong mechanical stability, with stress levels remaining well below the material’s yield limit. Only minimal deformation was observed, suggesting that the mixer shaft maintains its alignment under operating conditions. Taken together, these findings show that refining the mechanical design of the mixer base can meaningfully enhance mixing performance and support more reliable addition of functional materials in vegetable oil refining plants.
