    Mungbean Sheller

    Uploaded by

    This document describes the design and fabrication of a small-capacity mungbean sheller. The sheller uses a cylinder-concave assembly to remove mungbean shells from the pods. An oscillating screen separates the kernels from the shells and other debris. A blower then removes any remaining light impurities from the kernels. The sheller requires only one operator and can shell mungbean pods into separate streams of kernels and shells. Preliminary tests showed the sheller effectively separates mungbeans into their components with minimal labor.

    Mungbean sheller

    I. Introduction
    Mungbean or 'mongo' is a leguminous crop mainly grown for its seeds. While sometimes
    unnoticed, mungbean is in high demand in the local markets. That's triggered by mungbean 's
    popularity as a cheap source of protein. Unfortunately the production of mungbeans is seasonal
    and insufficient. As in the case of peanut and soybean, local mungbean production continues to
    increase with imports to meet domestic and industrial demands.
    Mungbean is popular with farmers since, apart from occasionally irrigating and applying
    fertilizer, it doesn't need too much attention during its growing stage. Mungbean is typically
    grown in dry months of the year due to its relatively low demand for moisture in the soil. The
    mechanization of mungbean output is, however, one of the industry's key challenges. The seeds
    are typically hand transmitted or drilled. Due to its maturity characteristics the harvesting of the
    dried pods is considered tedious. The pods do not mature simultaneously, so priming is done
    widely during harvesting. This operation is done manually and it is a great challenge in terms of
    developing appropriate harvesting machinery.

    II. Principle of operation


    In the cylinder-concave assembly, the mungbean pods are manually charged into the
    hopper for shelling. The mixture of mungbean kernels, shells, and other impurities is then
    discharged from the shelling device through the concave slots and falls into the oscillating screen
    where kernels and small broken shells are separated from the big shells. With the help of the
    blower, tiny broken shells and light impurities are removed from the kernels. The kernels are
    then discharged into the main outlet of the kernel, and the shells are sent to the main outlet.
    The sheller only needs one operator whose primary role is to load the pods into the
    hopper. Kernel collection can be achieved by putting a suitable container beneath the kernel
    outlet during the shelling process. A sack can be added to the outlet of the shell to avoid
    scattering of the shells.
    III. Application
    This brief study aimed to:
    1. Design and fabricate a small capacity mungbean sheller.
    2. Perform preliminary performance tests of the mungbean sheller.
