The study was undertaken for the small and marginal farmers to survey the different shelling methods used by them for maize. In this project we have solved the problem by providing low cost and hand operated maize sheller having good efficiency as well as cost economy for small and c. Here the small scale maize sheller consist of a rubber tire mounted on a frame and a shaft attached to it below which a concave is provided, feeding of sundried maize with moisture content 10-20 per cent is done at the clearance between the tire and the concave so that rubbing action occurs between the tire and the concave and shelling of maize will be there. |
