Design And Fabrication Of A Low Cost Maize Shelling Machine:- Amaechi Victor C
ABSTRACT
Com is one ofthe most important crop and it
has a source of a large number ofindustrial products besides its use as human
food and animal feed. Every part of Corn has economic value as the grain,
leaves, main crop stalk, tassel and cob can all be used to produce a large
variety of food and non-food products. After harvesting with sickle and
plucking of cob manually, dehusking of cob is done by hand to remove its outer
sheath and further grain is obtained by shelling the cob traditionally, i.e. by
beating the dehusked cobs with sticks or with fingers or sickle, etc. To
overcome this problem of removing its outer sheath and dehusking the cobs this
machine was developed. The machine basically compromises of separate shelling
chamber, threshing chamber, collecting tray and motor (2HP). The arrangement of
these parts is connected by belt and pulley mechanism. The weight was only 95
Kg. After testing the machine, the production rate for threshing operation was
300 kg/hr and for shelling 300 kg/hr. At last the germination test was carried
out for com seeds threshed by the machine and it were found that time required
to grow from seed was about 48 hours
