Implenentation of an Automated Machine for Groundnut Thresing

By Benjamin Bello

This research project focuses on the Implementation of an automated machine for groundnut threshing becomes necessary due to technological revolutions from industrial revolution to semiconductor revolution to information Revolution and we are now experiencing the Mechatronics (automation) revolution. This revolution has given birth to multiples innovations of machines that are smaller in size, smarter than what we used to have during the former revolutions. However, this revolution has empowered the design and development of an intelligent human-oriented machine that coordinates and cooperates intelligently with their human users. One of the processes involve in the production of groundnut is threshing and separation which can generally be done by traditional method and machine method. Traditional method is the process in which the pod is pressed with thumb and the first finger so that the groundnut seed can be released, while machine method uses machine thresher to thresh the groundnut and blow the chaffs. Groundnut threshing machine couldn't overcome the challenges of high rate of groundnut seeds damage but in order to minimize these problems physical and engineering properties.
