Ground nut Sheller Introduction- Many farmers in Sri Lanka crop harvesting and post harvesting activities done by hand. The manual method is not efficient and waste time, need more man power. Especially some crop such as Groundnut, Green gram, soybean, is shelled by hand. The manual methods do not suitable in large scale post harvest activities it is waste time and high cost for manpower and not efficient. Mechanization of the post harvest activities is a good idea for solving above problems or defects. Ground nut Sheller introduced by Farm Mechanization research center (F.M.R.C) potential for selling ground nut. Quality pure ground nuts can be obtains efficiently by the machine. F.M.R.C Ground nut Sheller is driven by electric motor which powered by domestic current supply. The machine shelled the ground nut 50kg-60kg pods per hour. Machine dimension- 1. Height ……….. 1300mm 2. Width …………800m...

The headpiece is supported on the soil by two boat- shaped floats whereby the ends of the tubes are held about three inches from the soil surface. The handle for drawing the Implement emanates from the headpiece. The Implement is operated by two persons-One draws the implement while the, other follows to feed the, seed through the seed bowl.

1.1 Introduction Seeds come in an immense variety of shapes and sizes. Small grains include wheat and rice as well as small and slippery oilseeds such as flax and canola. Large seeds include grain corn with seed on ears, soybeans, and other beans in pods. Plant height varies from ground-hugging peas to elevated ears on tall cornstalks. Such wide variations create unique demands for harvesting machinery. All these crops from oilseeds, grass, and clover seeds through to large fava beans are mechanically harvested with combines and mechanical threshers. The term “grain” will be used here to include all types of seeds. 1.2 History Until the nineteenth century, most grain was harvested by cutting with a sickle or scythe, then manually flailed or beaten to break the bond of the grain with the stalk, then winnowed to separate the grain from material other than grain (MOG). In the developing world, these practices or the use of small stationary threshers are still in use for rice...
