Experimental investigation of the effect of rotor speed of a horizontal shaft centrifugal palm nut cracker on optimum whole kernel production and shell particle size

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of rotor/cracking speed of a horizontal shaft centrifugal palm nuts cracker on kernel production and to determine the rotor speed that would give optimum whole kernel production in relation to smaller fragments of shell particle size. Samples of mixe...
