| Summary: | 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. |
