|
Washing of roots is very important before taking it as food so that it will dust free and chemical free roots. Root cleaning machine for cleaning the roots so that they should not harm human being at the time of having it. By cleaning the roots with fresh water all the harmful chemicals can be separated from the roots. Washing is an important primary process unit operation, which reduces the surface microbial load, while removing the field soil, dust and even harmful pesticides, thus leading to the value addition of the produce at the farm level. The CAD model of root cleaning machine and all its parts was generated. In test results we found that this can help the farmers to clean up to 70 kg of root in just 4 to 5 hours. |
