Performance and Sensitivity Evaluation of a Developed Cassava-Grating Machine
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii "Eftimie Murgu" Resita. Fascicula de Inginerie - Year 2014, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
Performance and economic returns of developed cassava-grating machine was investigated. The equipment has a realistic functional efficiency of 71.5% and the discharge capacity 4.04 tons per day. Simulation of its economic analysis shows that $26.3 could be saved while using cassava grater over convection system for 1-ton of cassava tuber. At 0.01 and 0.05 level of significance, it showed that the machine has a good economic potential over the convection method of grating. It saves time and labor requirements by a factor of 0.67.
