Development and compare performance evaluation of traditional, pedal operated and modified pedal operated portable paddy thresher for small farmers

Abstract

Today there are various machines for performing various kinds of operations in farm as well as for doing every work, where considering our research we have found for study i.e.” Rice Threshing, here we found various problems that has to be noted and can be worked on. So this problems can be framed as the machines that are used for rice threshing are required more man power for threshing i.e. if one labour standing with rice plant for threshing behind the thresher it’s difficult to rotate rice plant continuously in standing position with rice plant. So, there need to develop new technique or machine that can be used solve the problem mentioned above. Currently, The Traditional, portable paddy thresher and Modified paddy thresher was tested for its performance in terms of threshing efficiency, grain damage and output capacity at different levels of factors namely concave clearance (15, 20 and 25 mm), cylinder peripheral and Comparing the maximum threshing efficiency, minimum grain damage and maximum output capacity in different combinations the minimum loss was achieved.
