| dc.description.abstract | Extracting the juice from sugarcane has been a major problem, especially with the use of a
Traditional way that could damage the gum of the teeth and putting the human teeth in distress and
require much energy. The main objective of the project is to design a sugarcane juice extracting
machine, that will extract juice from sugarcane and that will separate the juice from the sugarcane
and the bagasse. The crushing unit is made of three rollers These are 90mm,75mm &70 mm thick
diameter and length of 102 mm, The machine was constructed by several well-established methods
such as methods, such are as follows: Measuring, Marking Out Operation, Cutting Operation,
Welding Operation, Grinding Operation. The machine was tested using a given sample of
sugarcane weighting 7 kg, the mass of juice extracted was 3.13 kg, while the extraction took about
2 min. From the design an actual speed of the roller of 46 rpm. The design of the sugarcane juice
extracting machine possesses simplicity in operation and maintenance as well as affordable with
low running and maintenance costs with reliable efficiency.
The Improved Sugar cane juice extractor has short stainless steel removable rollers. The juice
extractor includes housing with three compartments, the first for extracting juice and contains the
crushing rollers; the third contains the main drive, while the second serves as re-enforcement for
the connecting shafts. The first compartment is a closure for accessing the compartment; the
closure is preferably a clear plate which permits viewing the compartment during operation and,
when removed, allows access to the compartment for removal of the crushing rollers and cleaning
of the rollers and the compartment. A safety switch is provided to prevent rotation of the rollers
when the closure is displaced. A guide into the compartment is provided to direct the sugarcane
and any flavorings into the crushing rollers. A waste channel is provided for the exit of crushed
cane pulp. | en_US |
