A DESIGN OF COMPACT PEELING-SHELLING MACHINE Mr. Abhijeet Y. Kedge[1] Mr. Arjun B. Mane[2] Mr. Nadeem H. Nadaf[3] Mr. Rahul A. Devarshi[4] U.G. Students of Mechanical Engg, PVPIT Sangli - Vita Road, Budhgaon, Sangli, Maharashtra 416304 Prof. Pradip V. Kadam Asst. Professor, Mech. Engineering Dept, PVPIT Dr. Satish S. Kulkarni Professor, Mech. Engineering Dept, PVPIT Sangli - Vita Road, Budhgaon, Sangli, Maharashtra 416304 -------------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract: A corn peeling-shelling compact combo machine was designed, developed and built by using locally available material with overall dimensions of 890×40×108 cm. The machine involves 6 pulleys to vary the shaft speed as per requirement. The manually operated shelling machine gives low output and more damage to kernels. The machine is giving high peeling and shelling rate without damage to kernels. The overall peeling-shelling rate is 150kg/hr. The efficiency of peeling and shelling machine varies between 90%-97% with average efficiency of 94%.
dykes, plastics, oil cloth and linoleum. Corn syrup is used in shoe polish, glassine paper and rayon in tobacco industries. Corn sugar finds their use in the manufacture of chemicals, leather preparation, dykes and explosives. The maize when cooked under acids produces furfural, a compound used in the production of adipontrile (nylon) in the restinging of diesel and lubricating oils. The stalks and leaves are sometimes used for making paper, paper board and wall board. Pulverised maize cobs are used extensively for removing carbon from airplane motors.
Keywords: Shelling, peeling, design, shaft, pulley, motor.

1. INTRODUCTION: In today’s industrial world man’s innovative ideas has taken him towards all directions concerning about the production and safety in industrial establishments. Some instruments are of shear excellence where as others are the result of long research and persistent work, but it is not the amount of time and money spend in the invention of device or the sophistication of it operation is important, but its convenience, utility and operational efficiency that are important in considering the device. Shelling of high quantity of maize by hand typically takes weeks and the hardened dried maize can also be painful to shell thus leading to hand injuries. Existing alternatives to shelling maize by hand are often unaffordable or difficult to obtain for subsistence farmers. In industrialized countries, maize is largely used as livestock feeds and as raw material for industrial products, while in low income countries; it is mainly used for human consumption. Maize is a vital raw material in industry. Corn starch, corn oil, corn syrup and sugar are the chief industrial products obtained from maize. Corn starch is used for starching clothes. The starch is also employed in the manufacture of asbestos, ceramics,

Selection of proper material for machine components is one of most important step in process of machine design. The best material is one which will serve the desired objective at minimum cost. For our purpose the required material should have good properties which not give support to vibration and another problem. For this requirement following factor should be considered while selecting the material.
