| A mechanical pili nut cracker that used gradual compression for cracking was proposed and developed. This was a deviation from the traditional practice of applying impact for cracking pili nuts. The cracking unit of the machine accomplishes gradual compression by a rotating assembly of discs and compression bars travelling along an arrangement of cam rails. The cracker’s performance was established using pili nuts at different moisture levels. The tests followed a single-factor three-level experiment where the response variables included cracking capacity, cracking efficiency, cracking recovery, whole kernel recovery, kernel damage, kernel losses and purity of output. The machine performed satisfactorily using nuts dried for three days after... |
