This paper also focuses on research of corn peeling and shelling compact combo machine which helps to all common farmers, industrialist to minimize cost and rate of manufacturing of corn kernels and also the attempt is to make a machine which is compact in size and more reliable. Keywords: Maize, Peel, Shell, Compact, Combo
1.INTRODUCTION: In India, Corn is the third most important crop after rice and wheat, and it has significance as a source of a large number of industrial products besides its use as human food and animal feed Corn is also a versatile crop, allowing it to grow across a range of agro-ecological zones. In our country, most of land use for agricultural purpose which produces semi-finished products.
Fig – 1 Maize or Corn Corn also is one of the agricultural semi-finished goods. Every part of Corn has economic value as the grain, leaves, main crop stalk, tassel and cob can all be used to produce a large variety of food and non-food products. In India Corn is grown in all the seasons, i.e., kharif, Rabi and summer. After harvesting with sickle and plucking of cob manually, dehusking of cob is done by hand to remove its outer sheath and further grain is obtained by shelling the cob traditionally, i.e. by beating the dehusked cobs with sticks or with fingers or sickle, etc. This activity is mostly done by farmer women. In our country, most of the
