• What is a groundnut decorticator?
  • Decortications of groundnut in which the pods is pressed between the thumb and first finger. This process is a ¡°traditional methods¡±. This method is mostly used in rural areas. This method is very tiresome. It has been observed that the efficiency and productivity with hand operated groundnut decorticator and the traditional method is less.
  • Does a groundnut decorticator make a lot of money?
  • The results of the theoretical optimization of the manually operated groundnut decorticator implies that farmers who shell for seeds can now obtain more seeds shelled with low breakage and therefore will get more income. Roshan P Ghodkhande, Nilesh D Dhote, Sandip J Kadam conducted experiment on Design and modification of groundnut decorticator.
  • Can a manual decorticator improve the performance of groundnut pods?
  • A. Gitau, P.Mboya, B.N.K.Njoroge, M.Mburu conducted experiment on optimising the performance of a manually operated groundnut decorticator Shelling of groundnut pods using manual decorticators in Kenya is characterized by high kernel breakages and low shelling efficiencies.
  • What is a pedal operated groundnut decorticator?
  • By considering this pedal operated groundnut decorticator is beneficial for decortications of groundnut pods. The main objective is to make low cost groundnut shelling and separating machine. The cost of a machine should be affordable to the farmers. The machine shell maximum possible groundnut in shortest possible time.
