Projecção e dimensionamento de uma máquina para processamento do pedúnculo de caju para obtenção de sumo

Abstract

Processing machines into other products come from the beginnings of mankind fruits, but early development in this field started from the mid-nineteenth century. Since then, many application processing machines with industrial capabilities and processing of different types of range have been built for home application, extending to a wide range of products. Cashew production in Mozambique currently has increased significantly, due to the exercises that the Government of Mozambique and its Partner have employed in the production of more cashew trees. However, 70% of cashew peduncle has been used, and that less is usually consumed naturally or is used in the production of alcoholic beverages and more than 70% of cashew peduncle has been made due to lack of equipment for processing cashew in processing. cashew in other products. Faced with this problem, means and mechanisms must be sought on how to reduce waste and verify as much as possible the benefits that the peduncle can provide and not for the production of alcoholic beverages. One of the ways found to reduce cashew stalk waste is using the cashew juice processing machine. This work aims at the production procedures and proportion of sumo processing and the machine of the most corresponding components. The components will be selected according to those already on the market and in any case, it will not be necessary to manufacture it if it is not available on the market. The machine will work on a photovoltaic base, which will allow energy to be used both in areas with access to the electrical network and in places without electrical access, it will have a processing capacity of 2 liters of cashew juice per minute and will be ergonomically designed. so that it is comfortable for the user during its operation
