Design Modification and Structure Simulation Analysis of Tapioca Peeling Machine

Abstract

This project works on the design of a tapioca peeling machine for peeling freshly harvested tapioca tubers with the capacity of peeling tubers of different weight and diameter sizes. The need to mitigate the low output, drudgery, high labor costs and losses associated with manual peeling called for the design of the machine to improve the agricultural yield of the crop. The objectives of the research were to study the existing tapioca peeling technologies, to select and size the machine components, to develop the layout of the machine and to carry out the cost analysis of the tapioca peeling machine. To solve the problem, the innovation was formulated to peel tapioca skin with two stage of peeling (the first layer and the second layer) to increase productivity. From simulation of eco-auto-tap , the design of machine can work succesfully, and be a great improvement in the tapioca machine
