Abstract
The study was conducted to design, construct and test the performance of
Mungbean Sheller. The design and construction of the machine was from November to December 2015 at the Agricultural Mechanization Division, Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PhilMech), Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija. Testing was done at Brgy, Bumbuneg, San Gabriel, La Union on January 2016.
Results revealed significant differences in terms of shelling capacity, blower loss, cracked beans, and shelling recovery. Unshelled mungbean and shelling efficiency results revealed not significantly different.
The recorded highest shelling capacity of the machine is 169.73 kg/hr, lowest
blower loss of 16.06 percent, lowest cracked beans of 0.06 percent, and highest shelling recovery of 78.70 percent. Unshelled mungbean ranges to 1.24 to 3.49 percent and shelling efficiency ranges to 96.51 to 98.76 percent. The machine cost is Php 24,879.15. Considering the assumption used, the
investment can be recovered in 19 days.
