PROJECT REPORT ON
BAT KNOCKING MACHINE

2. INTRODUCTION
 A significant portion of this preparation can be best performed
by our pressing machine along with a ball mallet or bat mallet.
All new cricket bats must be “knocked in” before they are ready
for use on the field, according to middle peg cricket equipment.
Knocking in a cricket bat properly should take about six hours.
 Allow the soft fibre to strike a hard NW cricket ball.
 Reduces the risk of the bat snapping.
 knocking of bat fills in the gaps between the fibre
 Our Cricket Bat Knocking Machines are available in Best &
World-Class quality with very reasonable price.
 It reduces time for knocking bat.
 It makes the knocking of bat faster.
 It makes the knocking of bat accurately in less time.

5. WORKING OF PROJECT
 To knock in a cricket bat, use a bat mallet expressly designed
for this purpose. Knock the bat lightly against the edges of the
bat, using increased force as you work toward the centre until
the edges of the bat are uniformly smooth and round a cricket
ball lightly up and down on the face of the bat.
 We are involved in offering high quality cricket bat knocking
machine. All bats are pressed by the manufacturer, knocking
in is must for the survival of your bat .it is the process by
which the fibers of the willow in the face and edges are
compressed together to form a barrier which protects the
against impact of the ball. Effective knocking in will
significantly improve the performance and increase the
lifespan of the bat. We recommend that prepared ready play
and pre knocked in bats need extra preparation and care
before use. A significant portion of this preparation can be
best performed by our machine along with a ball mallet or bat
mallet.

7. SWOT ANALYSIS OF
PROJECT
Strength Weakness Opportunities Threat
1) It is portable and
it can carry from
one place to
another.
2)It consume less
electricity.
1)The parts of
mechanism is not
easily available.
2)The installation
and removal of
mechanism is not
easy.
1)It can be used in
professional cricket
academy.
2)It can be used in
professional
cricketers houses
also.
1)It consume floor
area and it need
lubrication.
2)It gets heat up due
to more use of
machine in bat
knocking.

9.  Bat knocking is done automatically.
 Bat knocking machine reduces knocking time
compare to manual bat knocking .
 Earlier by manual bat knocking equal force on bat
was not implied but by the use of bat knocking
machine equal force is exerted on bat which
results in accurate knocking of bat.
 Bat knocking increases the strength of the bat.
ADVANTAGES

10. DISADVANTAGES
 Bat knocking machine need proper
foundation.
 In bat knocking machine there are
sometimes chances to be snapping of
bat.
 Machine can`t run without electricity.

11. APPLICATION
 Bat knocking machine is used to knock bat accurate with
equal force exerting on the bat.
 Bat knocking machine is widely used in BCCI.

14. CONCLUSION
We conclude that by better utilization of bat knocking
machine brings us too many benefits like reduces knocking
time, accurate knocking, reduces labour work, eliminates
manual knocking.
