spoon 11 mm Thickness is occupied by the storage system itself. So, on both the
sides 11 mm is being occupied by the storage. So total thickness 11 + 11 = 22 mm
And some times during manufacturing of the wooden spoons, length of 3–4 spoons
varies from the original length of all the other spoons. Therefore, clearance of 3 mm
is given so that the wooden spoons do not get damaged.
Therefore, the total length of the storage will be, 90 + 22 + 3 = 115 mm.
2 Design of Glue Mechanism
Hot melt glue is used in this glue mechanism of spoon bundling machine. Hot melt
glue or hot glue consists of thermoplastic polymers which are initially in the form of
granules that are melted and applied as a liquid on the things or parts which are to be
stick together. It has one important property that this hot liquid becomes solid again
when it gets cooled, resulting in the attachment of the parts on which the melted liquid
was applied. The glue mechanism consists of a heater having temperature range of
600 °C. The heater is placed inside the copper pipe because copper has the great
tendency for heat conductance. Due to this copper pipe the entire glue tank remains
at the constant temperature throughout the surface of the tank. At the bottom of the
