The plant material was shea almond kernel Figure 1 obtained from the shea fruit collected by the processors under the shea tree Fig 1 Shea kernel EQUIPMENT CRUSHER The crusher and the mills were tested in the study The different types of shea almond crushers tested were BIO GANDO COBEMAG and BECRREMA
To obtain shea nut oil from the kernel series of processes must be carried out The processes include; shelling which is the first process followed by crushing roasting milling and kneading Koya and Faborode 2006 Shelling separates Shea kernel from its shell to help in crushing which reduces the sizes of the kernel to a
Shea nuts is an important domestic and industrial crop derived from the shea tree The shea tree Vitellaria paradoxa is a parkland tree crop a non timber forest product that is indigenous to Sub Sahara Africa SSA and grows across 5 000 Km wide expanse of semi arid savannah south of the Sahara [1] The crop grows in the semi wild and stretches across the
Groundnut product demand is on the increase and the application is largely dependent on the cleanness of the nuts The separation process is usually an energy sapping task that requires a lot of time
This paper presents a design and development of an improved palm kernel shelling and sorting machine The varying physical and mechanical properties of the identified species of palm kernel nuts during fracture as a means of determining the critical load required to cause fracture on the palm kernel nuts without damage on the nut meat within were considered
The characteristics of the shea nut fruits and nuts together with the nut length leaf length leaf width and petiole length are among the factors that contribute to the variation among shea nut
Shea nuts are dominantly grown in the Northern region of Ghana Studies have shown that shea nuts undergo hydrolytic destruction during traditional post harvest processing and storage
The output capacity recorded in the present study is higher than the optimum output capacity of 16 kg/h and kg/h reported by Okoye et al 2008 and Ojolo et al 2010 for palm kernel nut

In recent years physicmechanical properties have been studied for various nut crops such as hazelnuts Aydin 2002;Guner 2003 areca nut kernel Kaleemmullah and Gunasekar 2002 almond nut
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT To achieve a 90 95% of nut cracking work efficiency in which the palm kernel cracker machine is able to crack the entire batch of nuts completely to a tee which is fed into the machine through the hopper at only a single run without producing broken kernels and/or leaving uncracked nuts
Main features of the palm kernel crusher machine The screen mesh of this palm kernel crusher can be changed with different specifications to meet different requirements for the palm kernel crushing effect This palm kernel crusher is well designed with a compact structure so that it is space saving and cost saving for many users
Palm Kernel Crushing Machine is a machine that cracks the palm kernel shell using a friction process which can expel palm kernel oil for immediate consumption These palm kernel machines are designed for crushing all types of oil seeds like copra palm kernel jatropha and various types of edible and non edible oil seeds
Shea nut is the fruit of African shea tree Like avocado shea nut has delicious flesh The fat contained in the kernel of shea nut is shea butter which takes up about 40% 55% Each mature shea tree produces only 15 to 20 kilograms of shea per year which can only survive on the African continent due to climatic and plantation reasons
To obtain shea nut oil from the kernel series of processes must be carried out The processes include; shelling which is the first process followed by crushing roasting milling and kneading Koya and Faborode 2006 Shelling separates Shea kernel from its shell to help in crushing which reduces the sizes of the kernel to a
collection production of shea kernel extraction of butter from kernel and packaging and storage Each stage involves one or more activities Fig 1 shows the various stages Harvesting of shea nuts Predominantly the main method of harvesting shea nut in the Yendi District and the surrounding shea butter Production of shea
December 2015 Development of palm kernel nut cracking machine for rural use Vol 17 No 4 381 palm kernel nuts were randomly picked and measured with average measurement sizes of to mm in diameter and the thickness size of shell ranged from to mm
The highest broken nuts % were observed at the highest shaft speed of 2400 r/min 22 Table 1 Performance tests on the developed palm kernel nuts cracking machine Number of palm kernel nuts 4Reps Shaft speed r/min Cracking time taken s Un cracked nuts % Partially cracked nuts % Un broken kernels % broken kernels % 400 400 400 400
Palm Kernel Refining Line to get high quality further processed palm kernel oil product for different purpose or use Choose the suitable oil refining machinery for your palm oil mill plant The refining equipment can be divided into batch refining equipment semi continuous refining equipment and full continuous refining equipment Generally if the processing
4 Palm Nut is one of the byproduct of Palm Oil Extraction Plants These Nuts comprise of about 50% Palm Kernel Proper Separation Technique is necessary to recover the kernels from these nuts Ripple Mills are used to crack the Palm nuts The nuts enter from top of the mill and are impacted several times between the stationary plates and turning
kernel crushing and sorting machine as it is the region that houses the feed nut before crushing takes place The shape dimension and location of the hopper were chosen to ascertain the mass discharge of the nut The capacity of the hopper is calculated
