Performance Analysis of a Mechanical System To Break and Separate Palm Nut-Fibre Cake

This research seeks to test the performance of a palm nut-fibre cake breaker and separator machine alleviate problem hand separation by local oil producers. It takes into consideration standard cylindrical shape cake. The operated on an electric motor 2.2 kW at 1420 rpm. average throughput capacity was 107.72 kg/hr with weight 120 kg. Test results indicated efficiency 92%. Also, cost estimation that annual savings in using less labour than manual entirely $466. study outcome is relevant small-scale producers need utilize cost-effective facilitate high yield nuts fibres from obtained processing improve production output kernel processed nuts.
