 EMPATHIZE
Needs (By local survey)
Sometimes hygiene is not provided
Not available in all the seasons.
Present juicer at market is too costly.
Peeling is time consuming
Other resources (research papers)
● The vendors do not know how to operate
The machine properly.
● All the machines are not easy to clean.
● All the machines are not user friendly
● The major problem of the sugarcane juice
Machines is rusting of the extracting rolls.
● Accidents like hand injuries that are
Caused while working with the machine.

Understanding present products

Drawbacks
● Costly
● Skills to operate
● Some are not too durable
● Not available for India locals.
● Both peeling and juicing is not
involved in one machine
● Peeling is too conventional
● Human effort is required
DEFINE problem and project

● The product should be affordable

● It should be easy to use
● It should be easy to install
● It should be durable
● It should be safe
● Peelers used in household are not strong enough to peel sugarcane
Juicer used in outdoors are made up of heavy material
 Literature review
Knowing the physical properties of sugarcane from the different research papers
INCLUDES
● Dimensions of sugarcane (width of outer shell , Diameters,)
● Strength, Shear yield stress, etc.
● Changing of properties due to Moisture, Temperature, and other factors.

GENERAL PROPERTIES OF SUGARCANE

• Length of sugarcane: 2-6m tall
• Weight: 1.25-2.5 kgs
• Sugarcane has varying diameter, it increase to the bottom
• Moisture Content: 65-80%
• Number of internodes: 19-25
IDEATE - Concept generation
Finalised Concept

Use of buffing wheels for peeling

Buffing wheels is rotating
Squeezing by rollers is used for extracting juice
Multiple rollers is used
 Peeling wheel

Material: stainless steel/brass

Proposed peeling wheel is the combination of 3 buffing wheels
Rollers

Material: mild steel round bars /

ss420 material food grade
 Calculations

Design Analysis of Crusher
The required design analysis of the crusher was
obtained from equation (10) (Tipler, 2004)
Mf is the Mass of Roller, which is 220 N
Sf is the factor of safety, which is 1.7
Fc = 220 x 1.7
Fc is 374
The torque transmitted to the crusher was
calculated from equation (11) (Tipler, 2004)
r is the radius of crusher which is 0.040
T = 374 x 0.040
T = 14.962 N
Hence Torque Transmitted to the Crusher is 14.96 N
Power selection for motor
Due to market availability and current
market motor benchmarks we take 0.3
hp power motor with 1440 rpm that is
angular speed 151rad/sec

Determination of Actual Motor

Torque
The actual motor torque (Tm) was
obtained using equation (2) (Alexandr et
al., 2010)
The Actual Motor Torque was 19.46 Nm

Ensure Build Quality
⮚ Use of Proper grade of Nut and Bolt and high strength weld.
⮚ Proper Misalignment given in Bearing.
⮚ Panels Made in such a way that which does not compromise
with ergonomics.
⮚ Use of effective techniques and Processes for manufacturing

Serviceability
⮚ Use of Branded Bearings.
⮚ Fine Tuning of Bushing.
⮚ Reduces the time of assembling and disassembling.
⮚ Use of proper tools and equipment's to assemble the components.
