Development and field evaluation of a Cardomom Polishing Machine

Cardamom capsules when dried have a dried flower stalk which is hard to be removed by manual operation. For destalkinq, a power operated cardamom polishing machine was developed, tested and its performance was evaluated. A polishing drum with attached wooden blades seperated the dried capsules fe...

520 3 |a Cardamom capsules when dried have a dried flower stalk which is hard to be removed by manual operation. For destalkinq, a power operated cardamom polishing machine was developed, tested and its performance was evaluated. A polishing drum with attached wooden blades seperated the dried capsules fed in. from the flower stalk attached and were collected seperately. A single phase 1 hp motor served as power source. A 3-factlJr, factorial experiment in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with drum speed, feed/batch, and retention time as independent variables was performed. The maximum cleaning efficiency was 100.00 per cent minimum split percentage was' 6.84 per cent and minimum energy consumption was OAOkwh. Multiple regression analysis was carried out and regression equations were established. Study showed that the parameters drumspeed, feed/batch and retention time had significant influence on cleaning efficiency, split percentage and energy consumption. The physical properties of cardamom along with their dependence on moisture content were also studied.
