IMPLEMENTATION OF BANANA SLICER FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES
ABSTRACT
The study was carried out to implement a Banana Slicer for Food Processing Industries. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to examine the benefit and the motions of banana slicer and add benefit to the oldest way of slicing banana using manual method. A power rotary banana slicer suitable for small scale processing was designed and developed based on engineering properties of banana varieties, namely Nendran and Dwarf Cavendish. This banana slicer mainly consists of feeders for round slicing, cutter, power transmission mechanism, base support and frame. 111e power operated rotary slicer with three blade cutter that was operating at 36CJ rpm speed was developed to overcome drawbacks of existing hand or power operated rotary slicers and to meet the demand of small scale processing industries. This slicer has slicing efficiency of about a 93-94·% with effective capacity of about 100 kg/h for both varieties. The mean thickness of cut for both varieties was about 2.00 ± 0.194 mm, whereas mean roundness was of 0.84 and 0.70 for Nendran and Dwarf Cavendish varieties respectively.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
Banana is a tropical plant, requires warm humid climate. It can grow successfully at sea level to an altitude of 1,500 m. A mean temperature of 26.7°C and rainfall of 100 mm/month are satisfactory for its cultivation. Deep, well drained, friable, loamy soil with adequate organic matter is the ideal condition for its cultivation. Banana (Musa paradisiaca) is called as “Apple of Paradise” because it is the one of oldest cultivated fruit known to mankind; it is also the most nutritious. It is originated in hot tropical regions of south-east Asia. India ranks first in production of mango (40%) and banana (17%) of world production. India is the largest producer of banana and plantains in the world with a production of 16.82 million t from an area of 0.49 million ha. In India it accounts for 33% of total production of fruits and 12% of area under fruit crops.
