      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER ONEINTRODUCTIONGroundnut decorticator is a machine used in decorticating or shelling groundnut, shelling is the removal of kernel from pods. The spectacular increase in the use and number of hand operated decorticator throughout the northern states in Nigeria coupled with the poor quality of decorticated groundnut generally seen has made it necessary to recommend practices on the general operation and adjustment of the common hand decorticators     So the manufacturing engineers brain ...

      CHAPTER SIX - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER SIX6.0    CONCLUSION    Groundnut is one of the major cash crop that is widely grown in Nigeria because of its value as foreign exchange earner and has increase continues to generate interest. Shelling of groundnut is done locally as cracking the pod by hand, using mortal and pestle which are laborious and time consuming. This reason has call for the fabrication energy cost involving in traditional ways of shelling groundnut.    The efficiency of the design fabrication groundnut ... Continue reading---
