Optimization of abrasive wheel hulling for andhra

This paper illustrate the optimization and use of new type of abrasive wheel hulling of Andhra toor Dal, which also would be used for the purpose of seed decorticating and pulse making. Presently Toor Dal mills are operating on very large scale and not able to fulfill the demand of Toor Dal for manufacturing Toor Dal (dal) needed for rural people. Conventional processes that are being previously practiced have a many factors which reduced the efficiency of the processes. The horizontal wheel arrangement gives maximum contact area for dehulling. Farmers currently sell their product in raw form, which produce is passed through a network of intermediaries that includes several layers of traders, processing mills, and wholesalers/retailers. Farmers are systematically exploited in this process due to asymmetries in information and inefficiencies in this chain. Ultimately, the farmer receives less than 1/3 of the retail price for processed dals. It is widely agreed that "poor market linkages", "weak infrastructure", and "many layers of intermediaries" hinder the growth of India's countryside, wherein over 2/3 of the population lives. Abject poverty is unfortunately the norm, not the exception, for the majority of Rural Indians. The creation of a small-scale dal mill and surrounding procurement & marketing capabilities would allow farmers to engage in value addition and thereby receive more equitable returns for their hard work. Beneficiaries could participate in the venture and stand to see a 15-50% improvement in incomes. All above objectives will help us to increase the efficiency of the machine. We are going to optimize this machine considering these objectives & design this mechanism with introduction of motor as prime mover. This will make it simple in construction & use for agriculture purpose with minimum cost.
