Geometric Design of a Table Top Palm Fruit Milling Machine (Ofe-Aku Machine)
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
This paper shows the preliminary design of a table top palm fruit milling machine. It is observed that the palm kernel soup in Nigeria especially in the eastern part of the locally called “OFE AKWU” is very popular and it is commonly prepared both for domestic consumption and for commercial purposes by the food vendors. But owing to the stress required in this extraction process, we aim at alleviating this by designing this simple machine that could be easily operated by both the young and the adult, literate or illiterate. This is a simple device aimed at reducing drudgery and stress involved in milling digested palm nut (removing the flesh portion of the nut from the boiled palm nut). The removed flesh is then manually squeezed to extract the oil. Similarly, the nuts are separated manually from the chaff. It is expected that future modification will incorporate a digester, a press and a separating mechanism.
