process was tried and fortunately with the grace of almighty the required weight was achieved. On the next day a power supply along with speed/direction control was successfully developed and installed in the machine along with a pad-feeding tray and a plastic platform so as to collect the processed pads. On Tuesday (16-04-13) at 4:30PM, the machine was installed in the Pilot-Plant and around 1000 pads were tried for processing and around 25 were found below standard, i.e. giving efficiency of ~95%. At 6:00 PM Dr.Nighat visited the Plant and observed/ examine the performance of the machine and appreciated the team for their timely services/efforts. About The Machine:

Objectives
The main objectives are as follows: The machine will help in speeding-up the padding process, which will in-turn increase the production of ink-pad. It will work as a backup unit for presently installed machines for their any failure or shutdown. The machine has been developed from indigenous materials and components, so that its maintenance could be made low cost, easy and prompt as compared to the imported ones.
Achievements:
The major achievements are as follows: The machine has been successfully developed from locally available material and components so that its further development and maintenance can be made efficient. Presently the machine can produce ~750 pads per minute with around 3~8 percent rejection. The machine is single phase with a maximum wattage of 150Watts. The weight of the pressed pads can be controlled with two given screws as shown in figure-2. The speed and direction of the roller can be controlled as and when required. The machine is compact and light weight, can be handled even by a single operator.
Future direction:
As the machine uses DC-voltages, it can be easily backed-up by battery without any losses. In this way it can be run in case of power failure/ load-shedding. The machine can be modified by increasing the length of rollers so that more than one supply lines can be made and in-turn increasing the production. A conveyer belt can be attached for feeding and collecting pads. This will increase the productivity by optimizing skilled manpower and resources.
