Design Optimization of Blade Hummer Model Brick Soil Mixer Machine Using Design Simulation

Abstract

Homogeneous soil mixing is an important factor in the production of high-quality bricks, but traditional methods still have limitations in mixing efficiency and consistency. This study aims to optimise the design of a brick soil mixer machine using the hummer blade model through a simulation approach. In this study, simulation is used to analyse the performance of the machine, focusing on the optimal tilt angle, number of blades, and rotation speed. The simulation results show that the hummer blade configuration with an inclination angle of 30-45 degrees and a rotation speed of 80-100 rpm provides the best mixing with a more even distribution of soil particles. In addition, the use of this optimised design can increase the mixing efficiency by 30% and reduce energy consumption compared to the conventional method. Thus, the results of this study prove that the development of a hummer blade-based soil mixer that has been optimised through simulation and testing can improve the quality and efficiency of red brick production. It is expected that this machine innovation can be widely applied in the red brick industry, especially in the small and medium enterprise sector, to support the modernisation of the production process and improve industrial competitiveness.
