Development and evaluation of continuous inshelled walnut processing system

  1. In order to overcome the constraints associated with manual walnut processing, a continuous inshelled walnut processing system was designed and developed.
  2. The system has a capacity of 800 kg/day and efficiency of 97.02%, however manually a person processes around 40 kgs of walnuts per day with an efficiency of 80-85%.
  3. Adoption of developed system can drastically reduce labour requirement to 10 mannhours/ton as compared to 200 mannhours/ton for manual walnut processing.

Studies on flow properties of Bengal gram (Cicer arietinum) flour for effective handling and storage strategies

The graphical abstract represents categories of powder i.e. cohesive and non-cohesive powders. The reasons that cause various forms of flow difficulties are mentioned below. The flow parameters of two varieties of Bengal gram flour (P372 and P3043) are compared to commercial flour in this research paper. The graphical abstract also show the equipment used to conduct the study.
