This project was proposed by an international NGO which offers assistance to craftspeople in the developing world. This project looks at improving the design of existing clay mixers to make them more portable and more economically viable for small batch sizes to enable local production of ceramic water filters in the village or area where they will be used. The NGO are also interested in designing a low-cost mixer (40rpm) that can be manufactured locally in mechanic workshops. This design can be based on existing mortar mixers or industrial dough mixers.
