Design And Fabrication Of Palmyrah palm Jaggery Disintegrating Unit
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
A continuous type palm jaggery disintegrating unit was developed for disintegration of raw jaggery. It consists of a feed hopper, disintegrating assembly, metallic rollers attached with number of pegs, discharge outlet, power transmission system and main frame operated by 0.5 Hp motor. The disintegrating process was achieved by the use of a set of pegs attached with in metallic rollers, which beats and crush the feeds into smaller sized particles. Thus, it was tested by varying the following parameters: speed of the roller at 25, 35 and 45 rpm, feed rate at 100, 250 and 500 kg/h and clearance between pegs and roller at 10, 15 and 20 mm were used for the performance evaluation with the help of design expert software. The highest recovery efficiency of 92.50 was achieved at speed of 45 rpm, with the feed rate of 100 kg/hr and 10 mm clearance between pegs and roller. The optimum operating conditions for the disintegrating unit were found at 35 rpm speed with 15 mm clearance between pegs and roller and 250 kg/hr feed rate. The results however indicated that the new machine can perform better in terms of products with improved design.
