Title : Improved tubular corn sheller: Appropriate drudgery reducing agricultural equipment for maize growers Material Type: printed text Authors: Shrestha, K.B., Author ; Adhikary, S.K., Author ; Rabi G. Rasaily, Author ; Shrestha, G.L., Author Pagination: 15-18 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Corn sheller, drudgery reduction, rural comnmunity, equipment Abstract: Shelling corn or maize is, in general, the responsibility of the farming woman, whether child, youth or aged. The corn shelling operation is usually carried out manually and hence, a tedious job. It consumes a lot of time, labor and energy of the women force in agriculture. Relieving these agricultural women workers from such drudgery is a major challenge for researchers and development workers in the country. Though some farmers in the country use manual corn sheller developed by Agricultural Tools Factory (ATF) at Birgunj or Development Consulting Services (DCS) at Butwal to some extent, but access to such modern corn-shelling device is beyond the imagination for the majority of the women from the rural sector. Realizing the drudgery of the rural farming community, scientists at Agricultural Engineering Division (AED) under NARC have developed different prototypes of improved tubular corn sheller including manual as well as pedal operated equipment. Various prototypes of both manual and pedal operated corn shellers were designed, fabricated and tested by the researchers at the AED. These AED prototypes of the manual corn shellers are the improved version of the lnternational Rice Research Institute (IRRI) design, while the design or the pedal corn sheller is of the AED itself During performance testing of the manual corn sheller, the shelling capacity and the efficiency were found to be 13.8 kg/h (146 cobs/hr) and 94.6% respectively at 9.2% moisture content of maize kernels. Similarly, in case or pedal operated tubular corn sheller, the shelling capacity of 27.9 kp/hr (318 cobs/hr) and the shelling efficiency of 93.1% were obtained at maize kernel moisture content of 12.7%. The shelling capacity of pedal corn sheller was 102% more than that of manual corn sheller.

Title : Testing and evaluation of Mini SRR Dryer in Nepal for rice crop Material Type: printed text Authors: G.B Manandhar, Author ; Rabi Rasaily, Author ; Shrestha, G.L., Author ; R.R Bakker, Author Pagination: 19-27 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Drying air temperature, drying cost, rate, moisture content, payback period Abstract: Mini SRR rice seed dryer received from IRRI consisted of a cylindrical bin, an electric blower (2.5”, 320 watt) with a cylindrical support, a rice husk stove and a metallic pipe. Eight tests were conducted during rainy weeks of Ju ly ,2002 three at Kavre Palanchowk, four at Dhanusha and one at Parsa district Grain loaded varied from 145 to 175 kg with moisture content (MC) from 17.8 to 23.5%. Overall drying rate with rice husk as source of heat was found to be 0.45% MC/hour, which is much higher, compared to results of Vietnamese SRR-1 dryer with electricity as heat source. Extrapolation to 13% final MC by simple linear regression showed an association with one another in a linear way (r = 0.83). With 250 kg loading, drying cost for one ton rice was found to be Rs476 for IRRI dryer but in replicated dryer without heat insulation on metal pipe, it was found to be Rs874 due to lower blower RPM. However, computations show that even cost of replicated dryer would be paid back within 10 years with 35 days of operation per year. It showed the possibility of commercializing t he dryer for the small farmers either for seed or for food grain purpose. Maximum thermal efficiency of 22.4% was obtained at 0.6 kg rice husk/hour and 44.7°C drying air temperature (DAT). With DAT from 44.7°C to 49.0°C at Kavre germination rate of paddy varied from 77-88%. The study, also aimed a t enhancing the coverage of early rice in the country, has shown encouraging result.
