Design and Experiment on the Orthometric Crusher for Discongesting and Pulverizing Banana Stalk and Leaves

In order to solve those problems such as thick haulms,long and ductile fiber and high water ratio of banana,some research has been done and a kind of special machine has been designed which is banana haulm grinder.This sample machine is designed on the basis of common grinder which is unidirection cut and then shred,while this sample machine adds dual-stage longitudinal discongest gear roller and pick-up harrowing wheel for the first time.For this,this kind of machine can mechanize the orthogonal haulm shredding of banana.Experiments are performed on this machine and the results shows that the productivity is 10.4 t/h,the efficiency is 0.38 hm2/h,and the percent of pass for the dice quality is 87.8 %,in line with the requirements of agronomy for banana cauloid dicing and recycling.This machine is propitious to improve the nutrient of land and raise the utilization of haulms of banana and has great value to put into application widely.
