| A combined dewatered cassava mash lump pulverising and sifting machine was developed to determine the effect of moisture content, operating speed, and mash quantity on the performance of the machine using historical data experimental design of response surface methodology. The independent variables of the experiments were moisture content, operating speed, and mash quantity, while the dependent variables were sifting efficiency, input capacity, and output capacity for both 3 and 5 mm aperture sieves. The results of the analysis revealed that sifting efficiency for 5 mm aperture sieve ranged from 78.8 to 89.0 %, sifting efficiency for 3 mm aperture sieve ranged from 62.8 to 79.9 %, input capacity ranged from 232.29 to 405.25 kg/hr, output capacity for 5 mm... |

| Abstract: In India, cassava is consumed as a secondary staple along with the main staple, rice, and many rural poor consume it as the staple in different forms of preparations. Though harvesting is known to be one of the most difficult and cost-intensive field operation in cassava cultivation, mechanisation of cassava harvesting is still very low in most cassava growing areas of India due to topographic constraints, methods and scale of cultivation. The most viable solution to overcome these constraints is to promote the use of more efficient manual harvesting tools. Thus, the main objective of this study was to field evaluate the efficiency of four manual cassava harvesting techniques under different land preparation methods in terms of field capacity,... |
