| Common traditional techniques of breaking palm kernel nuts in rural areas where it is produced involved a lots of drudgery and hazard. The goal of this research work was to design, construct and test the performance of a palm kernel nut cracking machine for local use at affordable cost. Samples were test-ran, cracked and replicated at different shaft speeds (r/min). with developed machine. The results showed that the un-cracked nuts were 2.50%, 2.00%, 1.50%, 1.25% and 1.00 %, the partially cracked were 2.75%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 2.00% and 1.75 %, the un-broken kernels were 93%, 94%, 95%, 94.5% and 94 %, that of broken kernels were 1.75%, 1.50%, 1.50%, 2.50% and 3.25 % at set speeds of 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400 r/min respectively. The throughput of the... |

| Snail meat is an alternative source of rich protein in the tropics and an important part of many diets. Despite its wide popularity as a cheap source of dietary protein, very little investments have been made into the processing of snail meat in terms of processing equipment and other value addition technologies. Up till now, many farmers utilize manual methods in breaking snail shells which are very demanding and tiring. Furthermore, existing technology of snail shellers are not only expensive but the technology is beyond the reach f many local farmers thereby discouraging many from exploring the abundant potentials of the processing value chain. Hence, this study designed and evaluated a snail shell cracking machine using standard engineering procedures... |

| Studies have shown that mechanical means of de-feathering will lead to an increased poultry processing rate. This study evaluated a de-feathering machine with scalding tank. The machine was evaluated in terms of machine plucking time, machine capacity and machine efficiency. A completely randomized experimental design was carried out using three poultry birds (broiler, cockerel and layer) and three scalding temperatures (60, 70 and 80 oC) at machine constant speed of 480 rpm and at three replicates. The average machine plucking time obtained were 21.0, 20.6 and 23.3 s for broiler, layer and cockerel respectively. The average machine capacities were 175, 179 and 159 birds/hr for broiler, layer and cockerel birds respectively while the average... |
