Design and Development of Rotary Type Vegetable Cleaner

Root vegetables from field must be cleaned prior to weighing and grading. Soil and other foreign materials must be removed especially for medium and heavy textured soils in which a pre-harvest irrigation is used to loosen the soil prior to hand harvesting washing of fruits and vegetables is vital steps in any processing operation, which give attractive and chemical free fruits. At present washing of fruits and root vegetables is carried out manually which is very tedious and time consuming and expensive process. As we know that time and human power are the important concern now a days in every field so there is a requirement of design and develop a vegetable cleaner machine which will reduce the required human effort and make their task easy. Main objective of this study which is to be design and develop a vegetable cleaning machine, using CAD software. The project involves the detailed study and getting the information from the sources available about the machine. On the basis of data accumulated CAD model will be developed and after that finite element analysis will be performed.
