Groundnut Sheller Machine

Abstract

In India, most of land use for agricultural purpose which produces semi-finished
product or goods. Groundnut also one of the agricultural semi-finished goods. Groundnut is
grown on small scale farmers in developing countries like India. The average kernel price is
approximately twice the price of pod. . Lack of groundnut processing machines, especially
groundnut Sheller, is a major problem of groundnut production, especially in our country India.
In the beginning the peanuts were separated from its shells by the workers. They simply decoct
the groundnut by their hands and separate the peanuts from its shell. The output got from this
method, was very low and it does not fulfill the market demand because it was very time
consuming process. A research-work for design, fabricate, and performance evaluation of a
groundnut Sheller consisting of feed hopper with a flow rate control device, shelling unit,
separating unit and power system. The performance of the machine was evaluated in terms of
throughput capacity, shelling efficiency, material efficiency and mechanical damage. Regression
models that could be used to express the relationship existing between the Sheller performance
indices, pod moisture content and feed rate were establish. This paper describes about the design
and fabrication of various components of groundnut Sheller machine. Hence in this design of
various parts are necessary, and design of various parts due to which the design quality of those
parts will be improved. Overall, this project involves processes like design, fabrication and
assembling of different components etc. By keeping the point in our mind, we think that we
should make such a machine, whose production capacity is more & machine gets operated on
electric motor instead of manual work. The new and small former or business man can start their
business by investing less capital. So working on the above points, we design and fabricate a new
medium production capacity machine and today we proudly present this machine called
groundnut Sheller machine. All this system will work on solar power.
