    This document discusses the design of a bean shelling machine to address issues small-scale bean farmers face. It aims to reduce labor costs, transportation costs, production losses, and time spent shelling beans manually. The proposed machine uses a rotating drum with bars and a mesh to shell beans as pods pass between. Testing is still needed to determine the optimal rotor size. The machine is intended to reduce farmer costs and back pain while shelling, improve efficiency, and increase profits.

    FABRICATION OF BEAN SHELLING MACHINE

    SYNOPSIS
    INTRODUCTION:
    Throughout generations beans have been threshed using a log, usually the threshing is
    done in a flat surface or on top of a tarp. The beans are usually put in sacks during the
    threshing. The threshing is usually done by women for small scale farmers and it usually
    costs them a lot of money and results in losses. The higher costs are usually due to hiring
    laborers to thresh the beans at 3000 shillings for three laborers. The cost of transportation is
    also very high which cost at about 15000 per load of beans. The separation process of the
    beans usually take a long time which leads to most of the beans being lost thus the farmers do
    not get to make profit from the beans that they sell.
    OBJECTIVES:
    They mainly on agriculture and beans is one the most profitable crops, there were a
    lot of identified issues concerning the bean shelling process, which include:
     back pain,
     expensive transportation,
     costly labour,
     production losses and difficult / time-consuming selection;
     All of which affects small-scale farmers’ profit.
    METHODOLOGY:
    In order to avoid bean plants to entangle, the concept was prototype based on rotor
    combines used in big farming machines. Even if the prototype consists of welded angle bars,
    it addresses the possibility of plants getting entangled in a better way. The pods are shelling
    while being pressed between the rotor and the mesh located on the lower part of the drum.
    Testing must be carried to define if the rotor’s size is correct or if two rotors need to operate
    simultaneously.
    ADVANTAGES:
     Reduce accidents
     Remove all beans from pod
     Improve Environment / Space
     Increase productivity
    APPLICATION:
    Used in agriculture industries.
