Local fabrication of cap drying machine and its prospects to Nigerian economy

Abstract

Sustainable Technological innovations are an essential component of human development. With increasing human population and high demand for cap washing, innovations are required to meet the needs of the people. The fabricated cap drier was constructed to ease the hardship experienced by the cap washing business. This include time it takes to dry the cap, which is the most crucial part of cap washing. Qualitative research undertaking to assess the contribution and willingness to use the fabricated cap drier indicates that the new technology will increase their income and will save time it takes to wash a unit cap. This will avoid cap loss and climate constraints experienced in the business of cap washing.
