Development of a Palm Kernel Cracking and Separation Machine
The main objective of the work is to develop a machine that will crack palm kernel and separate kernel nut from the shell. The specific objectives are: 1. To design a palm kernel cracking machine 2. To construct the palm kernel cracking machine 3. To evaluate the performance of the palm kernel cracker 1.4 Justification of the study
Palm kernel cracking is one of the unit operations of palm oil processing. It is the shelling of the outer surface (shell) of palm kernel for the recovery of palm kernel seed. Cracking can be achieved through the application of forces on materials in various forms, such as impact, compression or attrition (Odewole and Ajibade, 2015).
[PDF] Design and Development of an Improved Palm Kernel
A palm kernel processing (Cracking and Separating) unit was developed to crack effectively various sizes/diameters of palm kernel as well as to separate the palm kernel from the shell with the aim of reducing the challenges encountered during the production of palm kernel Oil. This machine was fabricated and designed with locally available materials for the ease of maintenance and it was
A bush mango ( Irvingia gabonensis ) nut handling machine was developed to ease the tedium involved in the cracking operation and enhance the efficiency of separating the kernels from hulls. The machine consists of a hopper, cracking unit barrel, electric motor, blower, tool frame, hull outlet and kernel outlet.
Development of palm kernel nut cracking machine for rural use
The cost of the developed palm nut cracker was N150,000 (US$ 909), while the imported machines of similar capacity had market price range between N250,000 (US$ 1,515) to N300,000 (US$ 1,818). Conclusively, the locally-made machine performed well and was found cheaper and more economical for the establishment of small scale industry especially
1.1 Cracking of the palm kernel nut by traditional methods: The most common practice of cracking palm kernel nuts in Africa, most especially Nigeria, particularly in the study areas (Abia, Anambra, AkwaIbom, Ekiti and Ondo states) the cracking of the palm nuts is carried out manually by: (i) Stone Arrangement
Design and Development of a Palm Kernel Nut Cracking Unit, SSRN
Hence, this research focused on designing a palm nut kernel cracking unit incorporating a separator in form of a screen to separate cracked palm kernel nut shell from kernel. The result shows that there were significant difference (p≤0.05) among the moisture content of the palm nuts, shaft speed of the machine and weight (feed rate), having a
This study has developed and evaluates the performance of palm kernel cracking and separating machine. The materials used for the fabrication was selected based on available literatures and local market availability. The machine consists of hopper, cracking chamber, horizontal shaft with beaters, discharge outlet, main frame and prime mover.
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN IMPROVED PALM KERNEL CRACKING
With respect to the palm kernel cracking machine, the following recommendations are to be taken into consideration: The design should be made in order to regulate the number of nuts going into the cracking chamber. The design should incorporate or combine the separator such that the product would be a palm kernel cracking and separating machine. 5.
Hence, this research focused on designing a palm nut kernel cracking unit incorporating a separator in form of a screen to separate cracked palm kernel nut shell from kernel. The result shows that
