- W2289288465 abstract "DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF MANUALLY OPERATED TAMARIND BRIQUETTING MACHINE BY GEETESH SINHA ABSTRACT Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L) is a socially and economically important fruit of India as well as Chhattisgarh. In Chhattisgarh, tamarind is produced in many small areas and sold locally by the rural people at a throw away prices. During selling they come across many problems such as handling of large volume which need significant space, consumer acceptability for its quality, high transportation cost etc. To overcome these problems there is a need of densification of the stock which can be accomplished by converting the pulp into small briquettes. Briquetting should be done at home or the site level. A manual briquetting machine would be beneficial as it does not require any fuel like electricity or animal power. The device should also be easy to operate by the unskilled villagers which will not only solve the above problems to certain extent but at the same time it may provide opportunities in gearing their livelihood in a better way. A prototype of briquetting device is developed and tested at the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, IGKV, Raipur (C.G.) during 2012. The machine consisted of a mainframe, upper die, pulp box, base plate, shaft and pedal. The prototype was tested with tamarind pulp, having different moisture content in the range of 16.30 to 27.50% (wb). The test results indicated a satisfactory working of the prototype and fulfilling the objectives of the study. The average density of briquettes varied from 0.94 to 1.05 g/cm 3 and compression ratio from 2.24 to 2.59. The average pressure applied by the male and female operators was found to be 26.02 kPa and 23.38 kPa, respectively. It was possible to obtain a final density (1.05 g/cm 3 ) of briquette at a constant pressure of 24.76 kPa at each stroke. There was no appreciable difference in the density of the briquettes made by male and female operators. This indicates that both the operators can perform the job efficiently through this machine under similar working condition. It was also observed that the tamarind pulp, having moisture content 19.8 to 27.5% (wb) was suitable for briquetting. The capacity of prototype of tamarind briquetting machine was found to be 40 number of briquettes per hour for 500 g briquette and 30 number of briquettes per hour for 1 kg briquette. The cost of briquetting was calculated to be Rs. 1.42/kg for 500 g briquette and Rs. 0.95/kg for 1 kg briquette. The break even point was estimated to be 225 number of briquettes per year for 1 kg briquettes and 392 number of briquettes per year for 500 g briquettes. The pay back period is estimated to be 0.31 year for 1 kg briquettes and 0.41 year for 500 g briquettes." @default.
