The goal of this essay is to design and build a cost-effective detergent mixing machine that is simple to maintain and operate. The bowl mixer (pan), frame, paddle, and shaft are all made of mild steel. During operation, the machine ensures that the detergent ingredients are mixed evenly and that the detergent is discharged smoothly at the base. The mixing machine's performance was assessed using detergent and liquid ingredients/constituents. Various volumes of samples comprising detergent and liquid ingredients were initially created, and the mixing machine and traditional mixer were used to guarantee that the same quantities of each sample were combined (manually operated). Under the same settings, the results of the mixing machine were compared to the performance of a conventional mixer. The mixing machine's efficiency was discovered to be 80.7 percent. This research reveals that while mixing detergent and liquid soap, the traditional mixer takes longer to operate and consumes more manpower, but the mixing machine produces in a shorter time and at a lower cost. Laundry workshops will be able to employ detergent mixers instead of manual labour, which is inconvenient, time consuming, and inefficient. It also reduces the cost of purchasing and production, as well as encouraging its use for laundry at home.
