Abstract

Cashew is one of the main potential fruit. Traditional method of cashew seed separation from the cashew apple is time consuming. Cashew seed separator machine was designed and fabricated to easy the work of farmer. At present, these cashew apples are either used as a fertilizer to the cashew plant or thrown away as garbage. This project aims at reducing the human labour and time involved in the traditional way. In a short duration of time the machine can convert large quantity of raw materials into acceptable final products. The machine is manufactured from locally available materials and assembled and maintained at a relatively low cost. This mechanism is connected to the two flat plate one is fixed and other is movable. These movable plates which is connected to the rack and pinion mechanism moves to and fro motion. At that time knife edge separates the cashew nut from cashew apple. At the bottom of movable plate collects the cashew nuts and top surface of the fixed plate collects the cashew apple. So, in this machine we can perform the operation with less time & reduced manpower also cashew fruit is not damaged. The separated fruit is used as fodder for cattles.
