Evaluation was carried out with IT08K-150-27 soybeans variety at different level of moisture contents, 14.5%, 10.5% and 14% and at different drum speed 360 r/min, 466 r/min and 633 r/min with mass inputs of 1.5kg, 2.35kg and 2.0kg. the overall mean results obtained for performance indicators in terms of threshing efficiency are 95.3%, 97.0% and 92.46%,percntage of grain damage2.53%, 2.11% and 3.10% are and grain recovery are 98.1%, 98.37% and 98.09%. The evaluation results indicated the highest output of threshing efficiency of 97.0% at threshing speed 466rpm with an output of 120k/hr was achieve. The beans threshing machine is simple to operate and maintain simple without formal education. The unit cost of this threshing machine was 96,000(ninety six thousand naira only). ...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
