| Grain must be transported from one location to another. Several disadvantages are associated with grain transportation, especially manual loading into trailers and silos. The need for a grain handling equipment became pertinent; hence, this study designed and fabricated a simple and medium size auger aimed at conveying grains upward into a silo. The conveyor was fabricated from pure local materials considering the techno – economic properties. Tests were run on the conveyor using granular materials like maize, sorghum and gari at 13% moisture content. The angles of test were 00, 150, 300, 450, and 600 for each grain. It was found capable of loading an average size silo of 2.68 m3 in 15 minutes. The conveyor has an efficiency of 99.95%, and average output... |

| Organic manures play an important role in improvement of soil fertility, increase of crop yield and quality. Among these, the use of advantages of manures depends on method of spreading. Unsuitable method in spreading manure caused decreased crop production. Therefore in this study, a novel helical manure distributer machine was developed that capable to speared manure with maximum distribution width at different moisture of manure. The machine performance was modeled as well. This machine consisted of two screw conveyors (auger) on the bottom of hopper, grips, two drums, meshing plate and other component. Effect of speed of drum and mass of particle of manure on distribution width were considered. The power requirement of auger was calculated in different... |
