I am going to teach you how to
produce school chalk in the comfort of your home and make over 150, 000 naira in a month. There is no gain saying with the fact that the school chalk production is
very lucrative in Nigeria which make it one of the top secrets to wealth because
of the ever increasing number of public and private schools nationwide. It is
no longer a doubt that the number of private school in Nigeria is now increasing in geometrical manner. This has significantly increased demand of
school chalk within the last few years. To meet up with this increased demand,
individuals and corporate organizations have to engage in chalk production and
supply with a bid to balancing the demand and supply chain. This has not been
successful, as schools keep springing up on daily basis while the demand keeps amplifying.
This has created a very big investment opportunity especially for individuals
who intend to go into small scale chalk production business.
CHALK PRODUCTION
The basic fact is that that chalk production is
an easy task and straight forward process which anybody can do. Anybody can
learn how to do it and apply it successfully without supervision. chalk
production can be done in the comfort of your home. You don’t need to establish
a big firm
Now let me start by introducing you to the
materials needed.
MATERIALS NEEDED FOR CHALK PRODUCTION
1) The Plaster of Paris or as it is generally
called “POP” is the major raw material for chalk production. POP is a white
powder; scientifically called “Calcium Carbonate” (CaCo3). When this compound stared
with water it become a lotion. It is used by artist for sculpting and making
casts, and in medicine for molding casts around broken limbs. Below is a picture of powdered POP
2)Lubricants: This can be any cooking oil or
coconut oil, mixed with Kerosene. It is used for lubricating the chalk mould to
prevent the POP from sticking to the cavity of chalk molding machine.
3)
Water: water is a very important element in school chalk production, because it
is used for mixing all the ingredients.
4)
Ultramarine blue (Not Compulsory). ultramarine blue is used to give the chalk a
dark blue or sky blue colour depending on its concentration. If you intend to
produce only white chalk, then there is no need to add ultramarine blue.
5) Chalk Mould: The major equipment for school
chalk production is the Chalk Mould which is primarily used for molding the
chalk to give it characteristic shape, size, and length.
It can
be made of rubber or metal but usually with a wooden frame.. The moulds defer
according to the number of holes or cavities they have. Some could have 240
holes or even more. The number of holes or cavities a chalk mould has
determines the number of chalk sticks it can produce at a time. Here is a
picture of a chalk molding machine for
the benefit of those who have never seen it before.
6) Scraper: this is a flat metal object used
for scraping the surface of the chalk mould.
7)
Paint Brush: this is used for applying the lubricant on the mould before
filling it up with Plaster of paris
4) Dryer (Used for large scale production): It
is primarily used for drying the chalk after it has been removed from the
mould. The drier is electrically operated. For small scale chalk production, Just
spread the chalk under the sun.
5)
Hand Glove: This is basically used to cover the hand during the mixing of the
POP and water to prevent the skin from skin burning or irritation .
6)
Packaging Materials: these could include nylon bags and branded carton packs.
CHALK PRODUCTION PROCESS
STEP1
Pour some POP into a container, preferably a bucket, and add water. Use your
hand to mix the POP with the water until it forms a lotion paste. I cannot give
you the accurate measurement but you have to note that the hardness of the
chalk is based on the quantity of water and POP mixture.
STEP2 Using the paint brush, lubricate the
surface of the chalk mould properly with a mixture of cooking oil and kerosene,
to prevent the POP from sticking to the mould.
STEP3 Arrange the mould, then pour the pasty
mixture into it and allow it for 15 to 20 minutes to solidify before loosening
the mould.
STEP4 When you are sure that the chalk has solidified,
loose the mould and collect the chalk produced for sun drying or through
mechanical dryer.
STEP5 After sun drying for 2 to 3 days, package
the chalk in branded carton packs and your school chalk is ready for sale.
Yes, you can start making your cool money of over 150,000 naira in a month at
the comfort of your home.
