Design and fabrication of groundnut shelling machine Department:Mechanical Engineering By: peterjohn Project ID: 2053 Rating: (3.1) votes: 21 Price:₦1000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractGroundnut shelling machine was designed and fabricated at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Institute of Technology, Kwara State Polytechnic Ilorin aimed at increasing shelling/decorticating efficiency and eliminating drudgery associated with the traditional method of -shelling groundnut and other developed methods such as pedal-operated methods. The machine is powered by a 1.5 horsepower motor at a speed of 1440 revolution per minute. Performance investigation carried out show a good performance of the machine with decorticating efficiency, undecorticating efficiency, machine damage efficiency, cleaning efficiency and output capacity of 92%, 7.5°k, 3%, 85% and 120kg/hour respectively. It is recommended that a motorized oscillating decorticator for commercial production for human and even animal consumption be fabricated using stainless steel material for critical parts...Preview Download Preview +Other Mechanical Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»A project report on the design and construction of adjustable drawing table and stool»Design, construction and testing of beans threshing machine»Design and fabrication of groundnut shelling machine»Design and construction of adjustable drawing table and stool»The design and assembling of a tricycle engine (Paggio)»Design and construction of a pneumatic water pumping machine»Design and fabrication of electrical motorized bicycle wheelchair»Design of an indirect evaporative cooling system for preserving perishable farm produce»Modern washing machine, principles of operation and maintenance»Fabrication and construction of window burglar proof»Design and fabrication of domestic deep freezer»Design and construction of journal bearing demonstration rig»Construction and fabrication of charcoal oven»Fabrication of a pepper grinding machine»Fabrication of an industrial trolley
