Fabricated device to measure the mechanical properties of grains

Physical and mechanical properties of food crops gain importance during design threshing shilling machine. In Egypt, Corn is emerging as the third most important crop after rice wheat, it has significance a source large number industrial products besides its use human animal feed. Third largest cereal produced in world with trend rising production Egypt. The normal area for Egypt was hectares about tones year 2016. Four method shelling namely cob grain by hand, octagonal Sheller, hand operated Sheller beating stick were carried removing kernel from cob. As well as, determination go to improve optimize separation cleaning current study, some physical corn seeds determined such average length, width, thickness arithmetic diameter. moisture 8.5 16.7 % d.b., results showed that, thousand seed mass increased from. rupture force value ranged 141.2 431.6 N type TWC370 dent SC white flint at content respectively. 182.3 529.8 Also, energy 279.5 1093.8 J 369.3 1189.8 But there no regular on grains width section increasing content.
